ForMeYou (for Brandon)

And you said

Write for me

Don’t you know

Already by now

That when I

Write about you

I’m writing for

Myself by recalling

You as I

See simply you

I’m a selfish

Man capturing your

Beauty in words

Holding you captive

Here for only

Me to see

CharlotteMorn

And far off

Behind the tree

Line Canadian geese

Honk preparing for

Flight now they

Approach like Mardi

Gras revelers in

Strategic formation swooping

Like Heaven’s angels

At the rapture

Now past everything

Returns to quiet

This Charlotte morn

Friend

Oh and like

That one star

That I spy

On the East

Horizon you lay

In your bed

Just as luminous

Hovering there it

Outshines the others

Giving definition to

The heavenly orbs

Just as you

Give definition to

The word friend

Newness

The end of

Something is never

Easy but is

Required to start

Something new we

Hear the oooo’s

And aahhh’s of

Autumn but never

The wish to

Be a leaf

For just one

More sweet day

TeenyTinyThings

It is simply

Simple the simplest

Of things those

Tiny moments that

Second that so

So slowly ticks

By the easiest

Of things the

Smallest of sounds

The pleasurable sigh

The hiccup on

A busy day

The chagrin the

Teeny tidbit the

Thing thought insignificant

These things are

The things that

I remember most
