StormySun (for jay)

And yet again

The skies clear

And the last

Of rain falls

From leaves and

Eaves as diamonds

Hang as raindrops

Off the peonies

While sunlight breaks

Through warming streets

Making them steam

Like old locomotives

This was you

Today for me

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

Face (to Mike C)

Burying skeletons is

Easy but exhuming

Them and facing

The ghosts from

Your past is

Hard face them

Unleash them and

Tell them you’ve

Wronged ask them

for forgiveness this

Is but one

Gateway to Heaven

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

WantNeed

When it comes

To love and

Food wanting is

A luxury when

Needing is but

The one necessity
