You know that part
Of figuring out what
You do want is
Experiencing what you don’t
The heart is like
The tongue in order
To learn what you
Like you’ve got to
Be brave enough to
Take that first bite

Love knows no age
Nor does it know
Time it doesn’t recognize
Distance nor does it
Ever really make rhyme
It’s never ever easy
And it’s always surprising
Love is like air
After drowning it’s like
Water after running it’s
Like fire after freezing
Love is a blanket
That someone covers you
With while you’re napping
Love is so many
Things that if we
Just stopped to think
For a moment we’d
Realize that yes we’ve
Been in love so
Many many times before
Starting with our mom
GoodBetterBest
There is a difference
Between young and old
Younger seem to play
Never understanding the consequences
Although they are present
Older on the other
Hand are cautious having
Been bitten by life
Experience causes one’s hesitation
To step into darkness
While those younger run
Headlong into the shadows
Perhaps the best thing
To be is one
With the experience of
Knowing better but the
Will of curiosity available
One of a curious mind
A young heart and
Possessing an ancient soul
FirstYouThenThem
The love for yourself
Must always come first
You cannot give away
Something you don’t own
Try not to seek
Someone else to provide
That which you choose
Not to find yourself
For once they remove
It the void which
Was once something small
Has now become vast
Incapable of being quenched
Fill your cup first
And only from there
Can you serve others
HowItHappened
Our friendship has changed
Once comforting like granola
Bathed in steamed milk
Then deep like rich
Dark soil in which
We planted our delicate
Dreams to the cotton
Candy of our crush
To the tentative touch
Of curious fingers entwined
Finally to storms passion
Drenching everything in the
Rain of desires hunger
And finally back to
The quiet beginning wondering
Just what exactly happened
Like waking from dreams
Confusion full of innocent
Chagrin and cautious glances
Asking where to now
