AlwaysTogether

We are like

Magnets sometimes fighting

To get away

While at others

So strongly attracted

That we simply

Slap against each

Other we are

Like old stale

Jokes that bring

Erupting laughter despite

Their habitual reappearance

Sometimes we’re calm

Like a Honolulu

Beach at sunrise

But mostly we’re

Like a letter

Finding its comfort

Inside its envelope

We’re not meant

To be together

Yet here we

Are always together

MusterFreedom

Yes we all

Encounter obstacles some

Of us burrow

Under climb over

And tear down

But most avoid

Learning to live

A life restrained

So goes relationships

When we restrict

And constrict when

We leash and

Confine when we

Prune and pree

We’re hindering that

Same free spirit

Which attracted us

Whether out of

Fear or jealousy

The hardest thing

To do is

To let go

Of something that

We love it’s

A gift only

The truest of

Loves can muster

KeepItForOthers

I used to

Think that love

Could only be

Found where my

Lips meet another’s

Until I learned

That kisses often

Bring eventual betrayal

Better bring me

Your arms hold

Me up as

I hold you

Keep your kisses

Like the sun

Says to the

Storm surely you

Don’t think that

You can diminish

My light by

Bringing your rain

OneSmallSplash (the end of Mr. B)

Your impact on

Me was surprisingly

Less cataclysmic than

I thought it’d

Be when I

Witnessed you falling

Out of Heaven

All fiery spectacle

Ablaze and grandiose

Shielding and covering

Expecting a boom

You landed no

More grand than

A stone in

An already filled

Lake that I

Am making but

One small splash

Nary a ripple

HowILoveYou (to Mr. B)

My dear Mr. B

You asked how

I love you

Maybe it’s better

For you to

Know how I

Don’t

I don’t love

You like a

Brother or a

Child I don’t

Love you like

A secret or

Like a shout

I love you

Like the summer

Loves the spring

Taking the time

To blossom the

Same flowers upon

Which I’m known

This is how

I love you
