Cuddles (to Jay)

And I sent

You a bear

To remind you

That we are

Together even when

We are not

Cuddles he’s called

Cuddles he gives

PlugAndBail

And damn you

When I had

Finally patched the

Holes that my

Romantic life had

Become after I

Had bailed out

The water of

Bad relationships after

I had at

Long last set

Sail once again

On calm seas

Then pop gurgle

And splash into

My boat you

Came cool and

Fresh and then

Tried to sink

Me but plug

And bail I

Did getting rid

Of you like

I did all

Of the rest

Remain the water

For upon you

And above you

I do sail

Lamplight

We keep meeting

Under the lamplight

Always a lamplight

Sometimes near and

Sometimes far but

Always always there

As though these

Silly lamplights bring

Us together like

Moths dancing about

Each other but

Never ever landing

As though this

Dance that we

Do around this

Inconspicuous lamplight in

Some far off

Borough is what

Brings us together

A smoke and

A laugh a

Hello and touch

And with each

Passing lamplight and

With each passing

Time we remain

Just two moths

Around a lamplight

FinallyAtLast

I have grown

Weary of exploring

I have scaled

The mountains swam

The rivers sailed

The oceans crawled

Through jungles and

Settled with indiginies

Now home I

Sit in my

Little house perched

High on top

Telescope and map

And old photographs

Next to me

Pointing to there

And there to

Him and him

Knowing that I

Have been there

But happiest I

Am here alone

In a house

On a hill

Classics

I just didn’t

I didn’t want

To find me

I wanted someone

Shiny and new

Like a car

Or a bicycle

One that was

Free from dents

And rust of

Which age belongs

And after years

Of shiny new

I discovered my

Love for age

Someone with life

Experience with history

And gut wrenching

Disappointments someone like

Me that lived

This crazy thing

Called life and

Can remember and

Share and laugh

About these things

That we understand

Because we’re classics
