POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Such a thing
You bring light and life into my world. You are the ignition of creation. You are the beginning of a wave in the middle of the ocean. You have gravity. You have power.
Every minute, every second, every instant that I have with you is a gift. The culmination of my life has led to this Now.
I will not let loose one breath without gratitude. My world hums in time with your song.
I love you.

To My Self
Fire and ice.
Water and stone.
Steel and silk.
Love and hate.
Fury and concern.
The new normal.
The same old.
The future is clouded.
The now is volatile.
Nothing is certain.
Change is constant.
The weight of growth,
On weary student.
Why? Always why?
Let me rest.
Let me sleep.
Not until the job is done.

On weary student.
Why? Always why?
Let me rest.
Let me sleep.
Not until the job is done.

To be consumed
I see you in my dreams.
I feel you inside me.
I sense your days;
The tension, the ebb and flow.
There are days of wonder.
There are days of sadness.
There are days of memory.
There are days ache.
I have no say in the matter.
The heart wants.
The body obliges.
I am along for the ride.
I feel you inside me.
I sense your days;
The tension, the ebb and flow.
There are days of wonder.
There are days of sadness.
There are days of memory.
There are days ache.
I have no say in the matter.
The heart wants.
The body obliges.
I am along for the ride.

Dedicated to the Fighter in You
I love you when you are crazy.
I love you when you don’t make sense.
I love you when you ask “why” so many times I want to scream.
I love you when you sing the same line of a song,
over and over and over. …And over.
I love you when you roller skate in the kitchen.
I love you when no one else understands you.
I understand you.
I see the wild in you.
I know what you were born for.
I know what you were built for.
You will pull us through our times of darkness.
You are the spark that lights the hearth.
You are passion, you...
I love you when you don’t make sense.

I understand you.
I see the wild in you.
I know what you were born for.
I know what you were built for.
You will pull us through our times of darkness.
You are the spark that lights the hearth.
You are passion, you...

You
I could survive a desert on a drop of your affection.
I swim in your words.
Your presence soothes my soul.
If a thousand years lies between now and our next meeting,
a thousand years my heart will wait.
I swim in your words.
Your presence soothes my soul.
If a thousand years lies between now and our next meeting,
a thousand years my heart will wait.
