Sip

There’s just 
something about
that first
sip of
morning coffee
similar to
that first
smooch I
share with
you each
one reminding
it’s dawn
things to
do you
to love

Love#347

Love is
as love
does and
never as
love wants

SoItGoes

What does time do
you asked drowsily warm
next to me watching
it snow time goes
and after a while
you asked sliding slowly
into your own slumber
where does time go
moving closer I replied
that I don’t know

It’sNotThat (for Jontee)

It’s not that 
that we do
that I care
about or even
when or why
that ever matters
it’s the before
and the after
that matters most
to me for
the before is
known as desire
for something better
and the after
is a sigh
knowing just that

HowWickedThis

Why do they always 
never fail to find
the one exact breach
where I’m most vulnerable
as though they themselves
built this very wall
to keep them out
when in fact I
did and I guess
that I did hoping
that the one who
cared for me most
would doggedly find it
crippling me yet again
how wicked this love
