How do I
Remain cool so
As not to
Scare you off
I’m not a
Hunter stalking prey
Nor am I
A pointer rousing
Grouses but instead
Just a guy
Liking another guy

SparklingWater (for Fred)
And there you
Were this tall
Glass of sparkling
Water that tickled
Me little bubbles
Popping on my
Nose making me
Laugh this freshness
That cleansed so
Many other meals
Making me forget
My heart full
Of heart ache
Your freshness made
Me believe that
A stranger could
Make me laugh
Again at last
RollerCoaster
Like roller coasters
The thrill comes
In the wait
Once you’re riding
It goes past
So fast that
You lose breath
Just like life
Looking down on
You from baby
Heaven you were
Excited and waiting
Now here most
Of us ride
The life ride
With eyes closed
Praying for a
Very quick end
To these things
Keep eyes open
Making your memories
Surprises (for Jordan)
And there it
Came like a
Snowball square on
The chin surprising
Me yet making
Me laugh hard
Like a prankster
Around a blind
Corner frightening me
Yet joking this
Thing you said
And more after
Once settled in
I now understand
Just why simply
Why I liked
You you showed
Interest and kindness
Like the outstretched
Hand of grandma
LovePoem#211
Oh Lord your
Eyes are deep
Earthly rich pools
In which I
Dip and plant
My heart in
Their soil watching
Your smiles grow
Like sunflowers spreading
Across the plains
Of your cheeks
Your teeth as
White as a
Harvest moon guides
Me to bed
And your open
Arms envelope me
Like the airy
Limbs of the
Rivers weeping willows
