LoveRoads

There are two types

Of love roads one

Is flat and straight

And long disappearing somewhere

Off yonder way out

There that even squinting

And shading ones eyes

You can’t tell just

How far forever is

The other is winding

And weaving and challenging

One that requires concentration

And stamina and expertise

One that is full

Of careening cliffs and

Tight curves and acceleration

And hard braking and

Heart breaking sudden stops

But in hindsight if

You were to stretch

Out the curvy one

And lay it alongside

The straight one you’d

See that both cover

The exact same distance

It all depends on

You which one that

You’d prefer to travel

Sometimes one sometimes both

It’s never the destination

It’s always getting there

Present (for Muenster❤️)

Now that I think

About it the past

And the future only

Ever occurs in our

Minds but the present

The present only ever

Occurs in our hearts

FirstYouThenThem

The love for yourself

Must always come first

You cannot give away

Something you don’t own

Try not to seek

Someone else to provide

That which you choose

Not to find yourself

For once they remove

It the void which

Was once something small

Has now become vast

Incapable of being quenched

Fill your cup first

And only from there

Can you serve others

SunriseMySweet

As I lay here

Moving my hand slowly

Following the suns path

As it creeps quietly

From foot to calf

And up your thigh

To the ribbed cliffs

And your alpine chest

Past your mouths pool

Finally on your eyes

Giving my morning lips

Their own landing pad

Good sunrise my sweet

I DoThatThing

Yes I do that

I will admit it

As silly as I

Know that it is

But if one thing

Makes me feel closer

To you than far

What is the harm

No one will know

And I’ll never admit

That I do do

That one silly thing

That keeps us closer

Than the farthest far

That we unfortunately are
