Comfort of Home
What brings you home?
The hugs? the Love? the Cuddles?
A smile, warm, inviting?
Does it smell like hot tasty food?
Or warm vanilla? maybe summer flowers?
Does it sound like laughter?
Or music for the mood? Or quiet?
Is it a soft place to sit or lay?
A still hand of comfort?
Soothing silky lips?
Is home a place your mind can rest?
A place to speak your truth?
To spell your heart in words?
Is home a quiet in the storm?
Or sometimes, a place to dance or sing?
Is home the first place you would be?
Every moment,...

Friend always
Every time
You withdraw more
drives the knife of loss in
deeper
Have you no space left
To share of you?
I miss you
To tears
If I could press my cheek against your chest
Tonight
I would plead that you not
ask me to leave
Again
Let me be your friend
Who listens
Cares
& loves You
Always
You withdraw more
drives the knife of loss in
deeper
Have you no space left
To share of you?
I miss you
To tears
If I could press my cheek against your chest
Tonight
I would plead that you not
ask me to leave
Again
Let me be your friend
Who listens
Cares
& loves You
Always

Goodnight wish
That I might drift asleep
To the sound of your breath
Rising and falling—a soothing rhythm
Beside me in bed
To the sound of your breath
Rising and falling—a soothing rhythm
Beside me in bed

It was always you
You must know
I’ve tried so many different ways
To fade you from my heart
It took the final loss
Of the first man in my life
To make me face the truth:
I don’t want to erase you.
I just wish I’d seen back then
that my first true love
was always you.
I’ve tried so many different ways
To fade you from my heart
It took the final loss
Of the first man in my life
To make me face the truth:
I don’t want to erase you.
I just wish I’d seen back then
that my first true love
was always you.

More, Ever More
Lover of my yesterdays
Burst into today
Find a way
that our tomorrows
may yet merge
into a cozy warmth
Might a Someday sample
be ours to taste
in this now Somehow?
I suffocate with longing
for soft sweet breaths of your voice…
If only you would
I’m certain that we could
Find a trail into each other’s eyes
Trace our words through secret waves of sound
Into the tunnels of our hungry minds
Can you never find a way
To soothe this flame that ever burns
Night and day for want of more,
ever more
of...

A Sad Happy Day
I cried again
For want of you
Tonight
How much longer
Must I miss you?
This best life
Is incomplete
When you are missing
So I cry
At the close of this
Happy day
Because I cannot share it
With you,
My Forever Love
Will I forever feel this hollow
Where you belong?
For want of you
Tonight
How much longer
Must I miss you?
This best life
Is incomplete
When you are missing
So I cry
At the close of this
Happy day
Because I cannot share it
With you,
My Forever Love
Will I forever feel this hollow
Where you belong?

Into the Night Sky
Diamond dippers in the sky
Scooping out a place for you and I
Ombré blanket—here a velvet midnight blue
There a brighter gilded azure hue
Yet we both exist beneath the same vast space
So bring your heart & body nearer in this place
Rest your worries in my peace of mind
Let that great dipper cup your love with mine
Though but a number in this over-populated world
Yet, you’re the star ‘round which my planets swirl
So come, explore the Milky Way with me
Until we find a time & place where our love can BE
Scooping out a place for you and I
Ombré blanket—here a velvet midnight blue
There a brighter gilded azure hue
Yet we both exist beneath the same vast space
So bring your heart & body nearer in this place
Rest your worries in my peace of mind
Let that great dipper cup your love with mine
Though but a number in this over-populated world
Yet, you’re the star ‘round which my planets swirl
So come, explore the Milky Way with me
Until we find a time & place where our love can BE

Eagles
Majestic youth
In a reckless daring contest of strength and skill
Soaring, rising, diving
Watching, twisting, dodging
Flipping, turning, talons grasping
Like air-borne lion cubs
Wrestling for the proud prize
Of Best In Skies
Suavely mastering another
unseen opponent,
Wind currents with the strength
To turn the ocean to a foaming crashing frenzy,
Rough winds turned servant
to their vast feathered wings
These young playful eagles
Practicing
Until those young brown heads
Don the whitened crown...

Shimmers
Lights shimmer
mapping out the cities of the bay
Moon & stars shimmer
mapping dark night skies so far away
Reflections shimmer
on the rhythmic waves as they rush, then retreat
teasing midnight pebbled beaches
as these dreams of you tease me
Memories & reflections
as those stars shining ancient light
new as this very night to me
Beloved, shimmer in my Now
Let your love somehow
wash from far off beaches
piercing through my heart
So far apart
In more than space and time
From those visions that I...

Can I take it back?
Those days when my love becomes a spike
Piercing holes into your raft of life
Can I take it back?
—The knife, the spike, the destructive burn I mean
…Not the love
Never the love!
That part writes my breath & pulse
To share rhythms with your own
The truest part of love
Means to lift & heal
The part of love that smiles your days
(Is there not some of that
in my professions sent your way?)
Might that part remain?
But the scalpel…can we discard the cuts
From our shared existence?
That precious...
Piercing holes into your raft of life
Can I take it back?

Presence
I wish I could remember
Exactly
how it feels
In your Presence
I wish I could relive
the warmth and satisfaction
Of being desired
Present
As always
Your presence
Is most missed
Exactly
how it feels
In your Presence
I wish I could relive
the warmth and satisfaction
Of being desired
Present
As always
Your presence
Is most missed
