here
i stand
in gentle palm
of my creator
and do
declare
that i shall
love you
for all that i am worth
and when my days
are through and through
i shall dance
among the stars
and herald the coming
of your beauty

her eyes
reveal that place
in the
universe
where we
began
naked in our nothingness
sailing on solar wind
racing light
speed
in breakneck time
to arrive
and say hello

loving ways

to old
to find again
to old
to try again
to young
to forget
them
days in swoon

lost for lost
in a mismarked box
of inked up heart
and full wet
pen
those dreams
on reams
did fade away
to the gentle
mercy
of distant
memory
and long past days
you never
knew
were
always
yours

rise

gentle as dew
on daisy petal

the world

once upon a
time
is how
them
fairytails
always begin
all dressed
in silk
and lilac
scent
a glass
slipper here
rotten apple
there
finger pricks
for golden
threads
my fallen
broken shell
waits for
magical
'maginations
of storybook
places
hopefull
ill find my
love
along the way
in sleepful
childlike
ways
deeply
wanting
for love
to heal
a
once upon a
time
heart

sure
am a lot of fun
to look at
but don’t you fall
completely
just yet
i am an old man
dying
with maybe
only a minute
of air left
to breathe
are you still
willing
to chance
love against time
with me
being loved
is easy
if you’ll let
and loving is just
the same
if you will
but an unsure heart
and wasted
time
is never very kind
to any
now
that you know
ill ask again
are you willing
to fall
completely

her culinary
skills
were quite
distracted
and would
roll downhill
fairly quick
if you let
them
that double
baked
and then
twice fried
chicken
would set off
the neighbors
smoke alarm
the cookies
and cakes
though she
tried
were just as
disastrous
as the others
with only a
pot
of burnt
water
to wash them
all down
but
OH
HOW SHE LOVED
ME
so we ate out
ALOT
in all the
places
that we’d
drive past
with wonder
and i didn’t
mind
the bill
that took
away
her kitchen
tears
and returned
her laughter
with a glass
of wine
~

she will
sleep
with whoever
that will let
her
so i leave my
door open
an unspoken
invitation
to come
and lay with
me
she has this
cuddle way
about her
breath
about her
sound
that whispers
wake up
i am here
wake up for
me
i need water
and my litter
box
is full
~

there is
no thing
in my life
that says
i love me
some me
so much
as when
i can fail
to blame
another
that two
gallons
of french
vanilla
and a ten
pound pan
of peach
cobbler
went missing
while i was
left alone
with them

oh how i
dislike to edit
especially
after you’ve read it
but sometimes
a rhyme
comes later
in time
and always
after i’ve said it

Do the same

Make me fall
For the
