Drawn
Stuttering and stammering
I sought conversation with
ne’er crafted memories
of the “us” in my dreams
Blind eyes sought photos
Never captured
where i stood beside you
wrapped up like a present
in your arms
In the never
I drifted on visions of wishes
where i missed you
In every way through every moment
of every ticking day
(there i ever heard your shadow
drifting after me
echoes of desire
outlining mirages of the maybe’s
you could never see)
So i flutter away
But not from...

“You all look fabulous”
Tis the season for
posed pictures
playing pretend
buying gifts
returned in the end
congenial time spent
while hiding my hand
desired phantom
castles of sand
with inner conflict
i’m mucking through
these yearly traditions
still wishing ‘twas you
in photos of Christmas
would they then be true?
“you all look fabulous!”
Yet, I just miss you…

Beside me
So vaguely I recall
Peaceful rest
Knowing your breath
Though across the continent
Was audible
Knowing your voice would answer
If i called your name
I remember
Falling asleep
To images of you
& you, though hundreds of miles away
Slept beside me
I wish you
With comforting voice
& calming breath
Lay beside me now
I believe you would
If you could
I know I still matter
In your eyes
So tonight
As I close my eyes
Seek to rest my mind in sleep
I dream of you ...

Unwell?
I would bring you
soothing hot soup
with warm comfort
when you’re sick
(& a quiet place to rest)
whatever else you need
i would seek to be
to demonstrate—
I Love You

tonight…
I couldn’t wait
to free my mind
Allowing thoughts, desires, passion
a return to you
How is it
Moments with you
are so fractional
While moments without
An Eternity
God! I miss you!
I wish you well
Tonight
& every moment
before & after
Every moment
Thinks of you
Tonight…
to free my mind
Allowing thoughts, desires, passion
a return to you
How is it
Moments with you
are so fractional
While moments without
An Eternity
God! I miss you!
I wish you well
Tonight
& every moment
before & after
Every moment
Thinks of you

Christmas photo preview
(I wish it was with you,
My Favorite Santa Klaz)
We’d have a rendezvous
with a sexy view…
but since we cannot do
Find a time to pause
because i give to you
this holiday debut
Sealed with my love true…
Enjoy
😉

Waiting in the Folds of Time
I’m here
Quietly yours
if one day you wish
Waiting to respond,
“As you wish”
I wait
Dreaming of the maybe’s
Things to share one day
(but only if you say;
& only as you wish)
When i am there
Standing solitary on the beach
Again I’ll dream of you
that maybe one day
you can see
(electronically?)
Because such peace & beauty
Magnifies in beauty
When your voice, your thoughts, your being
Mingle with the moment
Here, too
Living through
The mundane processes
of...

Addiction
Yes
I confess
Addiction
I am addicted
to images of you—
my eyes trace the lines of your lips
imagined kiss;
memory feels how soft your hair;
mental fingers cradle
the edges of your enchanting face;
your strong chest
beckons to embrace;
Large, safe, secure
Hands to hold
fingers interlaced.
Yes, i confess
I am addicted
to visions of you
to getting lost in the ever-changing blue
and the secrets beautiful
in your eyes.
Feed, Love,
feed this craving need
for more...

Spark
If only i could be
Sparks of joy
Dappling your life
Yet,
Instead…
…
Is there No way
For me to Spark
Your smile?
Do you know,
Thoughts of you
Brighten my shine?
Ah, to be the polish
Glistening your life,
Ah, to be a sparkle
In your deep blue eyes!

Of Me, For You
I want SO MUCH to be
Your Happy Place
I want to be
Your hug of home
After a long hard day,
Your laugh, your smile,
Your safe Calm
I want to be
Sweet Release,
Satisfaction,
I want to be Your Rest

After a long hard day,

Flying Embers
A fire
Flaring
Flickering light
Draws
Desire
Until
Intensity
Light
Too bright
Heat
Too hot
Drifting embers
Fluttering
Floating
Unpredictable
Burning
Searing
Too many
Quench the danger
Too much
Too fast
Too hot
Burned

Winter Wander
Peaceful snowfall
Soft “hello”
Cool crisp outside
Heart aglow
Snapshots captured
Now I know
Friendship regained
Is possible
Thank you, Friend,
For words of hope.
With love,
☺️
