Clearing

If my soul 
had a window
one would see
beyond a forest
filled with trees
of past loves
standing guard mightily
around a dell
and as the
snows of curiosity
dance and fall
some do gather
into tall drifts
of playful inspiration
but most go
about their business
of being folly
if my soul
had a window
upon you it
would silently gaze
for you love
are my clearing

Afterglow

Just like sex
I have realized
that my life
led up to
this now moment
where as before
so much of
it was getting
and now after
having had it
I get to
experience the calm
the peace basking
in my afterglow

SometimesThis

I’m just 
a tree
in some
field faraway
standing here
I’ve once
been swing
once been
shade even
once encircled
by singing
voices laughing
but now
I stand
so tired
having been
all that
for others
knowing what
not why
one is
brings comfort
to even
this tree
in some
field close
once even
though having
never moved

JustDon’tGo

It’s not that 
you are gone
but I am
being back there
where you left
me still puzzled
if you want
me now you’ll
have to come
back to there
for here doesn’t
belong to you

EverWill

After having 
now done
I reflect
upon what
for which
and why
and where
and who
sit behind
not beside
now no
one likely
ever will
