Unrest
Surface calm belies
heartbreaking turmoil within
who said love is easy
Lucid Being
Hard Lessons

mistakes of the heart
when love takes more than it gives
teachable moments
The way to…
lost at sea

Letter
Received your letter today
As the paper rustled between my fingers
I shivered at your touch.
Your writing winked at me
Making my heart go aflutter
And your words,
Oh your words!
They caressed me
and teased me
and nuzzled me,
Coaxing a smile from me
My tears are rainbow hued
Your words have painted them.

Every Night
Every Night
I see you every night,
a little obsessive some would say.
“Why don’t you do something else once in a while”,
they kindly intone.
But I’m home most nights just to be with you,
I cook and we share dinner,
you always dress so nice for me,
I just love to watch your face as you talk.
Have I told you about my feelings for you?
No.
And oblivious, you chatter away about the weather,
the latest news, and gossip.
I silently soak it all up,
just basking in your presence.
And when you finish that last sentence,
as I know you will,
I change the channel.
