It’sEasy (to Brandon)

It’s easy to

Write about you

Because when I

See things I

Think about you

It’s easy to

Hold you because

Every time I

Do I feel

Held by something

As big as

Time it’s easy

To love you

Because loving you

Is like taking

Long deep breaths

Of fresh air

Brandon

Here next to

Me lays a

Plank of ebony

Sanded smooth with

Knots of knowing

And age dark

And rich slightly

Bitter like a

Cup of black

Coffee deep as

The moonless night

Except for two

Twinkling eye stars

Drawing me deeper

Into your universe

SnowNow

There is a

Silence in knowing

You like a

An early Autumn

Day in a

Deep forest you

Snuck up on

Me like a

Wind shaking leaves

Sending them into

Flight your silence

Catching me in

Arms of crispness

Landing atop me

And laying that

First kiss of

Winter snow delicately

On my lips

ReadAbout

I too have

Sat alone book

In lap reading

About romance and

Adventure wondering what

The conquest of

Hearth and heart

Felt like it

Feels like you

I know now

As I live

Rather than read

About the comfort

Of having you

In my life

Someone to go

To think about

Count on worry

About hope for

And fall into

I have now

Become what I

Have read about

You’reMine (to Mr. B)

Oh how I

Had wished and

Hoped that that

One present hidden

Way in the

Back behind the

Pretty ones beneath

The big ones

Tucked almost out

Of sight the

One that caught

The glint of

Christmas morning sun

Was mine and

Finally after an

Explosion of paper

Boxes and ribbon

Presented to me

It was and

There inside was

Your smile the

Way you look

At me when

I don’t make

Sense the sound

Of your laughter

At last knowing

That you’re mine
