Poetry...
I love you… I do.
Not in the ways I’ve felt before
Not in swooning declarations
No heart pounding longing here
I love you with laughter
With memories shared
Long talks into the night
Inappropriate remarks & lighthearted flirts
I love you with easy acceptance
Days that pass faster with your words
Long days of missing those sounds
When I try to break the trance
I love you in quiet peace
Happy with the way it is
Soft wishes that don’t have to come true
Having you in ways more important
I love you…
Yes, I really do
With joy and merriment
With heart and soul
And I love you, for all reasons
For bringing out the best
And not minding the rest
For being my friend….
Glo
I am not in love with you
Of this, I am completely sure
And yet, I compare each conversation
Each voice and laugh
And find them wanting…
I am not in love with you
Days can pass that we don’t speak
And I only think of you
In fleeting moments, idle hours
Hardly worth mentioning…
I am not in love with you
There are no butterflies
Dancing in my chest, fluttering in my belly
No great longing
To feel your body in mine
I am not in love with you
Of this I am completely sure
Yet why this feeling of relief
That you have passed by
Without touching
Without lips meeting….
Because I am not in love with you
Because it is safe
Because I am not in love with you
Never to touch you
Because I am not in love with you
Never to miss you too much
Because I am not in love with you…
Not in the ways I’ve felt before
Not in swooning declarations
No heart pounding longing here
I love you with laughter
With memories shared
Long talks into the night
Inappropriate remarks & lighthearted flirts
I love you with easy acceptance
Days that pass faster with your words
Long days of missing those sounds
When I try to break the trance
I love you in quiet peace
Happy with the way it is
Soft wishes that don’t have to come true
Having you in ways more important
I love you…
Yes, I really do
With joy and merriment
With heart and soul
And I love you, for all reasons
For bringing out the best
And not minding the rest
For being my friend….

You...
You are ruining my life
Every cup of coffee shared
It’s you I see
Every late night fantasy
Involves you
You are ruining my life
It’s your laugh I hear
It’s your invitation I want
This distraction is taking my chances
Your face replaces all others
You are ruining my life
Here at this crossroads
Of wanting more
Of needing arms around me
I try to move away from you
You are ruining my life
I snatch the phone, I dial your number
Needing the sound of your voice
To chase away the taste
Of another failed meeting
You are ruining my life
Here I am on the brink
Too afraid to confront the discontent
Coward, fool that I am
I need, I want the man who is ruining my life
Every cup of coffee shared
It’s you I see
Every late night fantasy
Involves you
You are ruining my life
It’s your laugh I hear
It’s your invitation I want
This distraction is taking my chances
Your face replaces all others
You are ruining my life
Here at this crossroads
Of wanting more
Of needing arms around me
I try to move away from you
You are ruining my life
I snatch the phone, I dial your number
Needing the sound of your voice
To chase away the taste
Of another failed meeting
You are ruining my life
Here I am on the brink
Too afraid to confront the discontent
Coward, fool that I am
I need, I want the man who is ruining my life
Riches...
Doors opened to the breeze
Windows at half-mast
Air that is crisp and cool
Summer days just around the corner
Beds that need turning
Waiting for summer blooms
Buds an overnight explosion
As trees prepare their shade
Robins and crows make their incursions
Into a hostile war zone
Food bowl fiercely guarded
By a giant with teeth
Birds call and scream their definace
As her regal head is held high
She watches for the next attack
And growls her defiance at battles lost
I watch and smoke with ankles crossed
Drinking my coffee and smiling over the rim
These are the days to remember
Joy upon joy fills me
I am rich beyond measure
What more can this world offer
Than these quiet beauties
Than these glorious days
Windows at half-mast
Air that is crisp and cool
Summer days just around the corner
Beds that need turning
Waiting for summer blooms
Buds an overnight explosion
As trees prepare their shade
Robins and crows make their incursions
Into a hostile war zone
Food bowl fiercely guarded
By a giant with teeth
Birds call and scream their definace
As her regal head is held high
She watches for the next attack
And growls her defiance at battles lost
I watch and smoke with ankles crossed
Drinking my coffee and smiling over the rim
These are the days to remember
Joy upon joy fills me
I am rich beyond measure
What more can this world offer
Than these quiet beauties
Than these glorious days
Sleepless...
Longing to grab and hold
To wrap tight fingers in it’s hair
And pull it close
We move, we roll
Arms and legs hanging
Heads tossed, covers moved
Rearranged in our torment
Sleep eludes us, laughs
Sneering grin at our desire
Just out of reach
Wanton, callus, sadistic
Almost like lust
Our desire, our longing
To be wrapped in sleep’s embrace
And there find release
Not in Love...
I am not in love with you
Of this, I am completely sure
And yet, I compare each conversation
Each voice and laugh
And find them wanting…
I am not in love with you
Days can pass that we don’t speak
And I only think of you
In fleeting moments, idle hours
Hardly worth mentioning…
I am not in love with you
There are no butterflies
Dancing in my chest, fluttering in my belly
No great longing
To feel your body in mine
I am not in love with you
Of this I am completely sure
Yet why this feeling of relief
That you have passed by
Without touching
Without lips meeting….
Because I am not in love with you
Because it is safe
Because I am not in love with you
Never to touch you
Because I am not in love with you
Never to miss you too much
Because I am not in love with you…
Of this, I am completely sure
And yet, I compare each conversation
Each voice and laugh
And find them wanting…
I am not in love with you
Days can pass that we don’t speak
And I only think of you
In fleeting moments, idle hours
Hardly worth mentioning…
I am not in love with you
There are no butterflies
Dancing in my chest, fluttering in my belly
No great longing
To feel your body in mine
I am not in love with you
Of this I am completely sure
Yet why this feeling of relief
That you have passed by
Without touching
Without lips meeting….
Because I am not in love with you
Because it is safe
Because I am not in love with you
Never to touch you
Because I am not in love with you
Never to miss you too much
Because I am not in love with you…
