MouseDreams (to mouse)

And so he

Said we were

There somewhere in

A dream facing

Each other arms

And legs crossed

Like fallen trees

Whispering and making

The sounds that

Only lovers do

Sometimes fury sometimes

Rain sometimes sun

Sometimes sometimes the

Silence of snow

ChristmasWish

You can’t understand

Don’t expect to

Just know this

Sometimes in life

Life gives you

The one thing

You don’t need

And challenges you

Make it yours

That’s my Christmas

Wish to you

Heaven

This morning starts

Crisp and cool

Like that first

Bite of Braeburn

Apples plucked from

Refrigerators gray skies

Like aggie and

Indian and purie

Marbles with which

Once I played

Cars buzz about

Filled with hurried

Shoppers sipping seasonal

Coffees and teas

And you of

Course beside me

Warm and sleepy

Yawning and smiling

Heaven on earth

JustOneYou

I awoke in

A field of

Wildflowers lavender honeysuckle

Peony and bluebell

Each different yet

Each the same

The same because

To my eye

They simply surround

Me like old

Friends different because

Like old friends

Each brings its

Own distinct color

Fragrance and beauty

Surrounded by nature’s

Possibilities do I

Pick or absorb

Breathing in I

Decide to snap

One free just

For me now

Come home with

Me and let

Me enjoy you

Where I can

Always see you

Where you belong

Beside me forever

OneHitWonders (to bean)

In the story

Of us there’s

No happy ending

No happily ever-after

You and I

Are simply a

Fade to black

And roll credits

As our friends

Quietly shuffle away

Entertained and sad

By our non-ending

Ending wondering if

There might be

A sequel but

Both of us

Are already committed

To new projects

You and I

One hit wonders
