she goes up early these days,

as if she is involved.

jumping the stairs

and laying head down,

eyes swimming,

brown.


does she know,

does she miss him too,

is that why.

she goes up early,

before me,

and i visit.


until thinking of her there,

i join her

my head down,

eyes

brown

too,

brown eyes too

The Body

You are the flesh
and I am the bones.

I keep us upright.
You. You are soft, weak.
Easily bruised,
rot finds you,
ruins you
while I stand tall, strong
impermeable -
I weather it all.

And when time wears us down
you’ll be wasted away, long forgotten but
there will still be
little  bits of me
in the dirt and ashes.
I’ll go on, I will.

Jazzy nights filled with romance
                      and glassy dreams !
Buildings lit beneath a sleepy sky
             of smudge coal gray
His hand gently placed in mine,
a breath away from me
he sits,
           sailor of my fantasies, ardor of my beating heart...  

A sailboat retires for the night
                      on the dock over quiet waters
inside the cafe, music plays softly
                                    like sensual summer winds
He gifts me a smile,
                                       and stars appear,
                                sending light into mine !  

Velvet time,            layered moments
                 filled with enfolding bliss
                              We share one kiss  !    
Truth be told,
he is the soulmate I longed for all my life
I am lost in love's hammock,
                        rocked by his slow candor,
I feel loved, clothed in fleece...  

Jazzy nights filled with perfume
                               and a budding slow romance
The saxophone plays on ....  
we speaking softly to each other,  
                               through silent glances.

You brought a smile
Back in my heart
I thought I’d never see
You again
The rain has stopped
Fallen in my face
So much I want you
To have your own place
You came back
It’s been awhile
I now can smile
Spaces apart
Time back together
Past is long

Life starts again
You brought a smile
To my heart
I know now you loved
Fun and happiness
No time to cry
