How I know that
I do love you
I see me in
You in your eyes
And in your smile
I see me in
How you look at
Me I worry about
You knowing that you
Are worrying about me
I think about you
When I’m not thinking
About anything else I
Wonder about you where
And when and if
How do I know
That I love you
Because it’s all that
I have ever known
Ever truly ever known

HollowMelody
What is it about
Soft morning jazz that
Plucks at my heart
Like a harp maybe
It’s because when last
I heard this you
Were here and now
Well you are not
And what was before
Our soundtrack is now
But a hollow melody
NeverYet
It’s sadness I think
This cramp I’m feeling
Not due to loss
But having never yet
I’ve stumbled into sludge
And my pace slowed
I won’t make it
There by night fall
But rather shelter here
Beneath the arms of
Some leafy green trees
Strangers at first but
As the last bit
Of sun melts and
The darkness surrounds me
It’s best that I
Call this place home
HappyBirthdayJadon
It was this day
Only twenty-one years ago
That our world was
Blessed by you it
Had absolutely no idea
What it was missing
Until you showed us
You my dear boy
Are just simply lovely
Like that one sunflower
In a peonies sea
That one taller than
All flowers whose head
Is always tilted upwards
And like the sun
Rooted to the earth
Your smile warms and
Welcomes and follows east
To west oh my
But you are a
Treasure on a beach
Happiest of Birthdays Jadon
On behalf of all
Of us may these
Wishes bring you joy
ThereThere
When I can’t write
I also can’t love
When my mind’s divorced
So is my heart
The two are entwined
Like vines rooted separately
But wound around the
Same tree on their
Way to the sun
Neither one getting there
First or ever last
Just always getting there
