I heard you call
from the other room
just as I sipped
it’s a habit you
have of calling me
just as I sip
or chew or eat
causing me to delay
and you to call
again thinking that I
don’t didn’t hear you
honey I always hear
you I never don’t
ever hear you because
I listen for you
like a child holding
up a sea shell
knowing that he will
hear sounds of sea
Category: Relationships
TypesTypically
Some friends are friends
and some are lovers
and even others stay
but most they go
some lovers are sexual
and some are intimate
and even others both
but most they blow
I prefer my friends
to be my friends
and my lovers my
lovers for when my
friends decide to stay
my lovers often stray
JustThen
I honestly can’t say
which I like better
sunrise or sunset with
you the day belongs
to others but us
the beginning and end
is only ever reserved
for what we have
it’s the morning for
me night for you
but it’s the kisses
the kind and often
wanton kissing that takes
us both into then
Relationships
Having ended one thing
only ever starts another
that’s the funny part
about most every thing
nothing is ever really
over one relationship ends
and another one begins
not necessarily with anyone
different but the same
relationships never really end
they become something else
…Ground
There is well was
a place for you
here next to me
in the bed which
I have on occasion
filled it’s higher than
my side since you
are were smaller but
it’s not even that
I simply don’t like
the view of downtown
and the mountains from
over there because from
over here I had
you to look at
before I ever saw
them you being my
fore and they back
