When

Speaking of love

It is not

The who or

The where or

The what or

Even the why

What is important

Is the when

For when is

Possibility for when

Is less thought

And more action

For when to

Love is simply

Always to love

Darkness

And as is

Usual when the

Dark seems darkest

A hand by

Way of a

Hello reaches out

Simple and innocent

Like the first

Leaf of Autumn

To fall it

Lands softly on

The hand reminding

You that you

Are not alone

It is the

Darkness that is

BriskCharlotte

The morn starts

Chilly like dipping

My hand into

A bag of

Ice scurrying in

With the days

Paper like my

Pup seeking warmth

I grasp my

Cup of coffee

Watching the steam

Rise like sirens

Calling seafarer towards

Rocks I slowly

Sip like children

In Wisconsin lake

Cabins gazing at

Autumn’s exploding color

Enjoying this early

Brisk Charlotte day

LovePoem#013

Like the first

Pages of a

Novel I struggled

With interest but

Now chapters in

I simply can’t

Put you down

I’m saturated like

A freshly watered

Lawn steeped in

Your moisture growing

Sprouting like a

Field of wildflowers

One day or

Flower prettier than

The next soon

I will finish

Reading this book

That you are

Ready to write

The sequel this

Time with you

PillowMe

I remember the

First time that

Your silence first

Appeared like moon

Light slivering through

Blinds it was

Conjured as your

Head lay upon

My shoulder you

In slumber as

You slept I

Could see the

Angels dancing kissing

Your forehead with

Pleasant dreams then

Knowing that even

When quiet you

Were protected by

Spirits and I

Was your pillow
