I’ve learned to
Listen to my
Smile for when
I think of
Yours I do
The same as
You do when
You’re with me

AloftUs
There are very
Few of us
That wish to
Be clipped caged
Instead we seek
To soar on
Invisible thermals above
Peaks spying the
Smallest things possible
Below us and
Then as we
Swoop we see
Garantua bigger than
Us and cower
But we are
Eagles meant to
Command and take
Even with words
Be my prey
And read me
Let me soar
Come with me
Aloft up high
OurTurn
Just when you
Find someone that
You like all
The ones that
You liked before
Suddenly show interest
Is it because
You’re no longer
Available or are
We as humans
Only interested in
What we can’t
Have why are
We never satisfied
I shall never
Turn away from
You for we
Were then at
That same spot
At the same
Time and now
It’s our turn
VeryElse (for Ramón)
On that green
Day came greetings
From far away
I’ll have all
Colors of wine
Which is now
Our own joke
You do see
When two people
Have their own
Silliness that’s repeated
It’s like a
Hatchling flapping wings
Before it’s first
Leap into sky
It’s the hallmark
Of something miraculous
About to happen
A newness of
Being one thing
About to become
Something very else
RightThere (to Ramón)
They say that
Love shows up
Around a corner
Or taps you
On the back
Taking notice you
Wonder why you
Hadn’t seen them
Before as funny
As it is
They’ve always been
There it’s just
That you couldn’t
See them because
You were looking
For someone else
When the one
Was right there
