Everyone needs a place
A place to belong
A place to stay
A place that’s theirs
theirs to retreat to
to remain in to
adore of to retrieve
from a place that
is you when you’re
not there a place
to make love and
meet friends and that
place can always be
either there or whom

Lovely
I am certainly loved
by four men younger
than me three friends
and one lover and
one my own age
Love comes in many
forms in any age
Most of us can
give love but few
can or will accept
Stinginess moves both ways
I suggest that you
accept as freely as
you give it’s lovely
Someone
The reason why you
Might have do love
Someone shifts like snow
Drifts or sand dunes
What was there yesterday
Is no longer today
So if the things
That you love someone
For do change then
Why do you love
Them in the first
Place because it’s not
The things or the
Promise of the things
It’s only ever the
Someone never the something
Pond (for Jadon)
The tap tap tap
Of life always requires
That the old guard
Make room for new
Yes those who are
Older possess reflection we
Know where the ponds
Are but it will
Always be the young
Who find the swing
In order to dive
Headlong into this life
And make their splash
Breeze
Your life is yours
To do as you
Please and not just
To please others just
Like the tree gives
Birth to leaves to
Go where they must
So did your parents
Find your own breeze
And therefore your freedom
