AndItCame (to Brandon)

And in my

Sleep it came

Carried on the

Wings of angels

Insight and rest

It bathed me

In understanding like

A warm robe

After cool bath

We’re friends friends

That love kiss

And enjoy each

Others company we

Are tending each

Other like plants

Watering and pruning

Watching the other

Grow and Blossom

There’s no label

Or expectation simply

The knowledge that

We’re in each

Others lives and

This brings joy

MorningAfter (for Brandon)

Sitting here now

Basking in the

Over glow of

Last night I’m

Immersed in you

Like a sudsy

Hot bath my

Cares whisked away

Our lips met

For the first

Time many times

Last night tethering

Our emotions like

A dirigible moored

To tall poles

Now not only

Do I have

Your words but

The taste of

You with me

Early this morning

NewWorldMe (for Brandon)

Searching no more

And finally found

You navigated your

Ship past craggy

Cliffs and onto

My shore exploring

Me with wonder

The mountains of

My shoulders the

Pools of my

Belly the dawn

Of my eyes

And the glaciers

Of my smile

I am your

New world come

Make me the

Home you sought

LikeYouAre (to Brandon)

I think of

You now when

I’m not thinking

Of anything else

You arrive like

A post card

From a far

Off place heralding

Adventure you apear

Like an apparition

In the doorway

Folding into my

Arms like a

Cashmere scarf keeping

Me toasty warm

Bouquet

I am older

And like last

Years bouquet of

Wildflowers I retain

My beauty though

Different my fragrance

Is gone but

The memories of

My gathering still

Blooms and then

One freshly cut

Bud is added

To me making

Me blossom again

Like the first
