HereThere

The best way there

Is by starting here

There is every where

But here is the

Only place that you

Can ever truly be

Enjoy here for here

Is where you’ll find

Your happiness over there

Is simply a temptation

Freedom

The funny thing about

Reigns leashes and rings

Is that they are

Clicked held and given

To keep and not

To run let go

And see what happens

Where they will go

And if they’ll come

Back to you asking

You to follow them

Go ahead have adventure

Rely on them instead

They may know where

Garret

Once when I was

Younger a lover rented

A garret an awful

Hole in the wall

Stuck way up on

A forgotten floor of

A home whose only

View could be seen

From there and from

There the city fanned

Out like a favorite

Bedtime story calling us

To dream the kinds

Of dreams lovers do

CityJazzMorningCoffee

There is just something

About delicate jazz chilly

City mornings and coffee

It’s like home here

Wherever here may be

And when you come

Out to me swimming

In my sweatshirt and

Nothing else to kiss

Me and sip mine

And sit across me

I know this much

City jazz morning coffee

Is all the heaven

That I’ll ever need

DancingFingers

One of my favorite

Things about loving is

The knowing and understanding

Lovers have a shorthand

They way they touch

Look at each other

The variety of kisses

Always say much more

Than words ever could

So why are poets

Who use words simply

Always the best lovers

Easy because they’re used

To seeing their worlds

And telling of such

With their dancing fingers
