The night sky
Glows an iridescent
Blue like trout
Swimming in Colorado
Shimmering with the
Evening stars making
The horizon dance
Like the window
At Tiffany an
Orchestra of crickets
Chirp in harmony
As this new
Day slowly quietly
Twinkles to life

NewSeason (for Brandon)
I watch seasons
Turn I have
Seen the blossoms
Of spring slowly
Pop into summer
And the late
Fall winds carry
Leaves to winters
Carpet I have
Caught snowflakes
On my tongue
And built snowmen
With their siblings
I’ve witnessed springs
Warmth melt the
Dead of winter
Into slippery slush
And rarely been
Surprised until I
Stumbled across you
A new season
YourPhrase (for Brandon)
And you took
A chance on
A humid July
Day and lobbed
A message that
Caught me off-guard
Completely surprised I
Wondered who now
Is knocking here
Opening the door
A giant peered
It is I
Haven’t you been
Waiting for me
Different we are
As moon sun
As coffee milk
As soil rain
We are singly
Magnificent yet together
Something even better
A wonderful surprise
Naked
And then he
Shone in the
East like that
One lone star
Leading me to
This a place
Where a simple
Hello unlocked
Unbuttoned unsnapped unveiled
Me to another
I talked to
You about nakedness
And now I
Stand here exposed
Wondering when the
Laughter will start
YouTree
When I see
A tree I
See it’s canopy
Full and majestic
Like your smile
Further down is
Its trunk strong
And formidable like
Your body at
The bottom is
Its roots clenching
And vast just
Like your soul
