Away you are
With the few
You hold dearest
Lounging languidly now
Snacking on fruits
And sweet vegetables
A lake lays
Before you there
Forests and valleys
Enjoy your time
With those three
Miracles of yours
I know they
Make you happier
Than any other

Anguish
Every so often
I venture downstairs
To that room
Where the things
Are all hidden
Candle in hand
I rummage through
Times long ago
Push aside some
Let others go
Until I spy
That one thing
Which causes me
The most anguish
For it’s only
There in that
That I remember
What I’d lost
Then tucked away
It goes again
In the hope
That one day
I’ll forget it
Along with you
Bathing (to Bean)
Your smile radiates
Like space heaters
On cold mornings
Quickly switched on
Throwing its heat
And enveloping me
Your deep brown
Slightly slanted eyes
Are like candles
In dark rooms
Drawing me closer
Your glow hovers
Like delicate halos
I shall not
Speak of bodies
For that I
Do not see
When upon you
I gaze bathing
Done (guest post)
I’m that good
Guy with dark
Secrets whom you
Always want but
Ignore when they’re
In front of
You if we
Ain’t smitten by
Each other then
What’s the point
FirstKiss (metered rhyme)
And off we
Went to run
Off and into
The sun
You trotted like
A horse I
Knew you would
Of course chasing
You still I
Ran until I
Could no longer
For you were
Much stronger at
Once I yelled
Out loud come
Back I’m not
That proud I
Need a little
Time to help
Me realign when
Back you came
To me grinning
And saying gee
I held onto
Your should’r and
Couldn’t be bolder
With your hands
On my hips
I mustered our
First kiss
