I can taste your lips
In the middle of the day
Grateful for your love
On this long ride to nowhere
It is the small things that help

The Pool

Summer closes down
Linden trees shed their color
One last chance to swim

Witness

Sunrise reflection
Poised on vacant waterway
Hawk soars overhead

Promises

We wake at first light
Naked in our bed of dreams
Scent of wild Orchids

Fearful

I find myself weak
Grown thin by my lack of self
I rush to the edge

Jinni

We lie together
Longing for another night
Wishing for more time

At last

We lie together
Longing for another night
Shifting sands of time
