Laying here moments
Ago you asked
What’s your favorite
Memory and thinking
I turned to
You and looked
And looked and
Finally kissed you
And kissed you
And then answered
Those those are
My favorite memories

QuietMorning (for My friend Kwan)
You have left
Yet I remain
Like the tide
Leaves the cliff
You have taken
Parts of me
There with you
Parts that I
No longer have
They’re yours now
To be deposited
Some where else
To make something
New for you
SpringCameHere
Like the spring
Came to winter
The thaw began
And warmed everything
That turned cold
Life began again
With one door
And one smile
Followed by rains
Of conversation and
Laughter and cajoling
And I bloomed
Yet once again
ControlledBurn
Sometimes in life
I set fire
To those things
Close to me
Not to watch
Them burn but
Rather to see
Which are strongest
This includes friends
Two nights ago
I ignited a
Firestorm call it
A controlled burn
Which laid waste
To almost everyone
In my path
For one reason
To give light
To new friends
And reduce others
To simple ash
Promoting new growth
NowMorningNotNight
The slow strings
Of the day
Started with patience
Until like a
Solo violin played
On some far
Off hill you
Turned to me
With your lilting
Hello sleep well
Actually I didn’t
Looking at you
Now in my
Arms and chest
I missed you
For in my
Dreams you weren’t
