I have loved you
with things more than love,
beyond the vibrant layers
of devotion
to the rotting
folds of
insecurity and failures;
I have given you
even non-gifts,
because I cannot help
but to offer you everything.

Lyrics & Love
You are poetry,
every lyric
more inscrutable,
yet more beautiful,
drawing me deeper
into a reverie
filled
with flowers
and lace.
Written Lovers
Written words
are lovers,
climbing into your heart
and changing
who you’ve
been.
Touchstone Tuesday: Poem VI
It’s not that most connections
carry no love;
it’s that so many loves
can exist only in one space —
can survive only at the bar
or breathe only within an app.
To uncover a connection
worth pursuing
is to find a love that can flourish
at home
and in the streets —
Saturday night
and Sunday morning.
On Longing
Every night my soul leaves,
and every morning, it crawls back, exhausted.
One night I followed it
down old paths
past familiar trees
and, all at once,
I uncovered to where my soul
wandered
as I joined my soul
in watching you.
Touchstone Tuesday – Poem I
This time is deceit
for I’ve felt eternity
in my longing for you
and an immortality in your love.
So, external time withers,
for all time is within you.

Firestone Friday – Poem I
She’s never been my sun;
she’s a vibrant moon,
and when her tides pull me in,
the waves crash and carry
my howl
for her.
