It's a treasure trove
Words tossed up like confetti
Falling in our hearts

Forgive me
if I stay too long
or ask too much of you.

I cannot help
being what I am,
lingering
near the feast of  you
like a starving man
over-indulgent
at the table.

Qualyxian Quest
Vaguely headachy
Need for real rest

I lie awake, sir,
Black shirt on my chest

Hagia Sophia
Istanbul may be best

Rick Steves can lead me
Qualyxian Quest

Then to Seattle
Like a bird to its nest

Ferry boats at twilight
Windwater Northwest

A friend of mine told me
I write when I’m sad
She said it is as if I am in pain
And I said when I write it rains
When I put the pen on paper the clouds get dark
And when I stop
The birds of the sky sings
Coming out to play as the sun is out

— The End —
