cozy little nook
a fire and you and a book
loving time we took
-----
never was the one
just someone who came along
when i was needed
-----
Oh, the twists and turns of life,
And of love and desire as well,
And secrets sometimes disappear
Into to the past meaning little
To the present, and yet...
To share the path, to escape
From the place where
Love is not allowed,
Secrets must be revealed,
Old excursions,
Experiments,
Experiences,
Made plain,
And trust given.
For the correct path
To be followed together.
-----
have you seen my scars
know where gone and things i've done
don't judge till you do
-----
do not gaze shyly
love's look should be direct and bold
and returned the same
-----
distantly watching
old warrior poet nods
at this bright new goddess
in a swirl of pink
orchid released as poetry
making weary eyes weep with joy
for he is happy
that this jewel on his horizon
has appeared before he's gone
