80 pound dogs
happily greeting me at the end of the day.
Laughter and Smiles
family, friends and you...
The first time
our hands brushed
and I was able to gaze deeply
into your soul.
Late night conversations...
Sharing
tips on parenting
and popcorn
friendship
love.
And learning to
let you go...
absent of any
bitterness-
~quietly~
*simply

You have been there
   for nearly 13 years,
We laugh together
  share secrets
      and fears...
We connect
   mentally
      twisted humor
          fiercely protective.
Haven't heard from you
     in months - yet here you are.    
prodigious
requited love you(s)
~friend~

Chest pains
     numbness arm and face
         shortness of breath
Emergency
       High blood pressure
            then the tests begin...
Technology
      needles and sticky tabs
             wait and wait and wait
Why can't they just ask
      I'd let them know
           there can be no attack-
for I have no *heart!

If a butterfly
can flap its wings in Brazil
setting off a chain of events
leading to a storm in North Dakota...
How could I
resist the force of your
boyish grin and
hazel eyes
while
standing face to face,
nose to nose
with you?

Long have I
toiled for that space
of nothingness.
I have carefully crafted
walls -  insurmountable
foundations
solid strong and deep.
So that no one
penetrates -
and my soul
fragile and weak
beaten broken and frayed
is protected
from you
and
in the sanctity
of my quiet world
becomes
numb....

Once upon a time
a long, long time ago
yesterday-
my hopes, dreams
and the wonder of tomorrow-
were all found
in your  
hazel
eyes.
Forever gone-
but not
forgotten .

I listen to that
     which appeases my soul
Country to rap
      pop to classical-
Music satisfies how I feel
         Not your perception...
                Of what 'they' like.
You see "anger",
       when I express passion.
You say "loud",
       When I express joy
'They' are ignorant-
    yet I hold the credentials of the 2%
You fear
   the strength earned
      while navigating the hostile waters
           you created!
bottom line -
     Look inside you
          for I am not your *cliche!
