And then when
Our love became
The game tug-of-war
And rather than
Pulling you into
The muddy pit
That we’d become
I simply let
Go of the
Rope and surrendered
And we stood
There staring and
Wondering why
And when and
How and now
What what now

ThisDay
Like a slice
Of warm pie
The east glows
An iridescent buttery
Pastry flaky yellow
And disappears into
The gooeyness of
Midnights blueberry filling
Ala mode naturally
With the appearance
Of Saul now
Melting into daylight
Bite after delicious
Bite I too
Become this day
BeStillNow
Through tears of
Joy or sadness
A well placed
Kiss is like
The comforting hand
Of God Himself
Here let me
Ssssh it’s okay
Be still now
MorningAbove
Like laying on
The bottom of
A cold clear
River bed and
Watching the rainbow
Trout shimmer past
This morning’s dawn
Is the same
Bands of soft
Red surround streaks
Of blue as
White gray tops
The swimming sky
As suddenly as
It appears it
Darts away giving
Way to the
Calm blue water
There above me
HeartSleeve
My sweet Bradley
Take your heart
From your sleeve
And tuck it
Away back in
Your chest saving
And keeping it
Safe for another
It’s difficult to
Unpin hearts from
Sleeves but hearts
On sleeves prompt
The feeding frenzies
Of desperate carnivores
Hunting the weak
Squirrel it away
Keep it safely
And let those
Hungry for anyone
Starve to death
