Paint your life
with broad strokes
and let definition
up to others
Always be grand
full of color
warm and welcoming
and let others
decide what you
are for always
you will either
be their everything
or just another
painting passed by

Death
There is life after
death death being the
loss of anything there
before that isn’t anymore
Death is thought bad
but death is the
harbinger of change a
door a moment a
time place or person
Most of us hold
on clutch pinch and
grasp just let go
because this thing you’ve
been trying to keep
has been gone long
ago and that new
thing right over there
is was has been
waiting for you quietly
Lovely
I am certainly loved
by four men younger
than me three friends
and one lover and
one my own age
Love comes in many
forms in any age
Most of us can
give love but few
can or will accept
Stinginess moves both ways
I suggest that you
accept as freely as
you give it’s lovely
Trees
I see relationships as
a snapshot of a
particular moment with particular
people who through some
miracle of place and
time were at the
right moment I don’t
believe that they were
meant to last forever
Relationships are seasonal things
if one were to
think of one’s life
as that of trees
Life
And as I watch
The eastern horizon lighten
While sleepily scoop pour
And percolate the coffee
In this moment of
Dawn I am reminded
What life really means
It’s the little things
All the little things
Like sunrise and coffee
And kissing you awake
That makes my life
To me worth living
