NewFriend (to Ramon)

And then like

Storm clouds which

Pass and sun

Breaks free your

Texts warmed me

Wrapped their arms

Around me like

A protective parent

After nights nightmares

Like fresh mountain

Air they filled

Me with hope

Oh and excitement

Like a boy

With a puppy

You found me

A new friend

LipWords (for Kindness)

No one asks

Me to write

But you did

So I do

Just as you

Asked for kisses

So I did

Aren’t these words

Just like kisses

Taunting and biting

Sweet and soft

Like the insides

Of your lips

BreathOfGod

Here in morning

I find peace

Rising like the

Sun East it

Grows with time

And covers everything

Like late night

Snow softly and

Slowly blankets landscape

And summer rain

Cools dancing children

Peace is the

Breath of God

SweetSpot (for Jay)

On everyone there

A place a

Place rarely touched

That when touched

Unlocks all of

Life’s passions it

Is a place

This place where

Lovers swim languidly

In the cool

Pools of each

Other there they

Find their reflection

For me it’s

Right there six

Inches just south

Of your chin

SoulSong (for Roed)

We should all

Listen to the

Wind more often

It sings the

Soul’s song a

Whisper a

Whistle a storm

And a wee

Sit and listen

To hear the

Sounds of souls

Saying live now

Love often and

Above all sing

The souls song
