ThereAlso

It’s the silence

That bothers me

Like mice picking

Away at slumber

The thoughts come

So what if

And who cares

Dreams not peaceful

Filled with questions

Like a child

Unprepared for school

I sit wondering

Where’d you go

That I wouldn’t

Be there also

AnyWord (to Brandon)

Any word will

Do when you

Speak it it’s

Not the word

But how you

Form it words

Come and words

Go but oh

That smile when

Saying it has

Burned into memory

Like a brand

Creativity (for Brandon)

Like you have

Images captured in

Photographs I have

People captured in

Words you create

A moment while

I paint with

A broad brush

Both of us

Creating someone yet

Unseen for others

Then to see

Come let us

Dance in creativity

Opening eyes to

What only we

See

ThisMorning (to Brandon)

Asleep you are

An ebony cat

Curled beneath dove

Gray linen which

Has twisted itself

Around you like

Silver crawling Ivy

I’ve excused myself

For coffee and

Words letting you

Sleep once I’ve

Expressed myself I

Shall crawl beside

You wrapping myself

Around like philo

Dough creating a

Puff pastry with

You as the

Creamy chocolate filling

CallMe

I’m like a

Puppy when left

To own devices

Shoes sofa and

Socks become toys

I need affirmation

That I’m a

Good boy or

Else I become

Just a pup

A bad boy

In your eyes
