Some nights
Consciousness fades
As the drugs take hold
And if you can
Hold the pen just right
It will keep writing

When all else fails... try it in poetic form
Meds at ten,
bed at eleven
(no screens in between!)
Get up at seven.

We lie on the bed
Perhaps a foot apart
I see you turn
Onto your side
Signaling you are now
A stand of redbud
Ready for harvest
I mush myself against you
Collect sticks
For our basket
CUDDLE HARVEST

Waking
I wait
To see her
Sleepy eyes
Opening,
Like morning light
Veiled in fog;
And then
Her lips slowly
Bloom in smile,
As a rose
Waking to the dawn.
To see her
Sleepy eyes
Opening,
Like morning light
Veiled in fog;
And then
Her lips slowly
Bloom in smile,
As a rose
Waking to the dawn.

Peace
My love,
It is more than enough
For your soft breath
To waft so near my face,
While sound you sleep,
Secure in my embrace.
It is more than enough
For your soft breath
To waft so near my face,
While sound you sleep,
Secure in my embrace.

I think, therefore I’m damned
life exists more in
one’s head than
outside it is most
likely raining
and grey and so
depressing that one
has thoughts that are
best left unsaid

being completely toast
better to stay in bed than
to get up in the morning when there’s no butter in the fridge.
I don’t buy that, she says

Spur of the moment
Word spill
Fresh water
Grows a good garden
And I love fresh vegetables
I'm tired
That's all I got
Fresh water
Grows a good garden
And I love fresh vegetables
I'm tired
That's all I got

Winter
The room, once white,
now fading gold;
The day, once young,
is growing old.
