ElectronShells (to Mike)

If I

Were an

Atom and

You an

Electron and

You were

Attracted to

Me and

Another came

Into our

Field would

You bounce

Away or

Fight for

The attraction

Love as

Electron shells

Home (to jrp)

And there

It was

A spark

A star

A bit

Of heaven

Dancing in

The corner

Of your

Eye a

Twinkle an

Ember a

Reflection of

Eternity and

Knew I

Was home

You

And I

Spied upon

My palm

A remnant

Of you

A bit

I’d forgotten

And when

Thought about

Brought such

Energy that

I forgot

About me

And remembered

You

Christmas (to Chloe & Mike)

So tell

Me where

A Christmas

Tree light

Starts and

Ends and

When it’s

Time to

Take all

The cheer

Down is

It after

Or really

After when

The paper

And ribbons

Settle or

Perhaps when

Glad tidings

Have gone

Heaven

And upon

You I

Stumbled and

Slipped to

Your mossy

Bank and

Dipped my

Hand in

Your cool

Water and

Drank once

Sated I

Listened to

Your sounds

Of life

And knew

Then that

I’d found

My heaven
