Here I sit thinking
there you lay sleeping
in the other room
almost like Christmas I
know that soon I
can unwrap you but
first I need to
get thoughts and words
said here you’re used
to this by now
this cheating of sorts
just me and thoughts
and coffee and cigars
and words selfish pursuits
until at last I
go back to you

Rather
I think that now
after the dust settled
what I truly want
is friends not lovers
I’ve had lovers so
many in fact that
I could field an
entire baseball team and
and now rather than
playing the game I’d
rather sit in the
stands eating popcorn and
hotdogs and cheering those
on who still want
to play to win
Me I’d rather watch
I no longer can
weather the losing and
winning lost its charm
Raw
And so I had
a guy come over
yesterday and my nerves
got the better of
me I did like
him but I don’t
think I’ll see him
again not because I
don’t want to but
because he doesn’t want
to I’m a lot
in person for most
and like an oak
shade most everything beneath
me causing few blooms
I think that he
knew that with me
he would never grow
YouThere
As I sit and
smoke my cigar watching
the sunrise I wonder
if this is genuinely
all that there is
me a cigar and
a sunrise and then
I remember that I
left you there upstairs
PartsOfHearts
I have found that
the part of my
heart that I give
to friends is different
than the part I
give to lovers the
part that I give
to lovers is attached
to my eyes and
my mouth and the
part of my heart
that I give to
friends is connected to
my ears and arms
And sometimes only sometimes
it all just comes
beautifully and wantonly together
and I completely disappear
