ThereThereThere

When you miss

Me simply place

Your hand over

Your heart I

Am right there

There right now

Feel me I’m

Never farther away

Than you there

Kisses

And in the

Dreamy morning hours

I felt a

Butterfly or perhaps

Hummingbird alight my

Lips still dreaming

I imagined a

Prince or pauper

Waking me as

Delicately as dew

On tulips as

Wanton as thirst

As tender as

Down and as

Tickling as seltzer

Brushing it away

I awoke to

Your eyes smiling

Good morning love

Freshness (to boo)

It’s a look

Cast off as

A glance that

Lingers a moment

Too long it’s

A joke that

Catches you off

Guard and the

Laughter erupts after

A few seconds

Of thinking it’s

A smile that

Is broader than

The biggest sloppy

Cheeseburger and that

One evidently embarrassing

Snort of giggling

That is freshness

Life’s little miracle

Things

You know that

You’re over it

Finally when all

Those special things

Become normal things

Once again like

Cleaning a chalkboard

Allowing now new

Normal things to

Become special things

With someone else

LikeYouMeanIt (to boo)

When you approach

And foreheads touch

The beads of

Breathy humidity hangs

Like tiny clouds

Plump with rains’

Longing and desire

And right before

Our lips touch

I whisper into

Your open mouth

Kiss me like

You mean it
