Safety (to Bean)

And then someone

Threw me overboard

And unable to

Swim I was

Sinking when suddenly

Two splashes above

Me happened suddenly

First a buoy

And then you

Pulling me from

Deaths grip you

Brought me air

And carried me

To the safety

This you did

Only for me

Music ( with bean and I)

And so I

Grafted myself to

You and you

Small broken flower

Less and somewhere

In between I

Knew that you

Would never grow

Without me music

Kissing (to Boo)

And so I

Kissed someone else

And I knew

Right then that

My lips missed

Yours it wasn’t

The same we

Butted and didn’t

Bled we were

Coarse and rough

Like two rocks

Rubbing against each

Other rather than

Waves that quietly

An easily washed

Upon the shore

NextTime

You haunt me

Like my favorite

Character of the

Novel I just

Finished that never

Got to marry

His own princess

Like the patient

Dog under the

Table waiting for

The bone to

Be offered and

Watching it thrown

To the wolves

Maybe they both

Think there’s always

The next time

OldFriends (to You)

The best chili

Is the chili

Prepared one day

And ate the

Next there’s something

About waiting that

Doubles its flavor

It steeps thickens

And deepens color

Parts just disappear

Until they land

Yet once again

And that mmmmm

That’s you too

My old friends
