I was desperately drunk and desperately in love.
    I made promises I couldn't keep. She invited me
    into her garden. I ate forbidden fruit. Nirvana!
    Pains, doubts, anxieties, fears gone instantly.

    The morning after had a sour taste.
    God and priest and nun and catholic world
    collided with our promised land of love.
    We stayed drugged with flesh and defiance.

    Pregnant, we were married in the Church.
    We had our daughter and a son soon after.
    I wish lust didn't fade with time.
    I wandered and became a cliche.
Your name there always
Don't know how to stop loving
Same heartache each day
I just can't shake it
something beautiful to leave in your wake
a gentle turning of the soil
planting of a seed
a helping hand unseen.
And just like that…
Here in my space
I write you into
Existence

The look of you
The eyes on you
The smile that travels everywhere and nowhere in particular
The laughter and the laugh
Take me under over and every direction as long as I am with you
September 14 forty four years ago we met going stronger if possible
Whenever I am near you it is yesterday once more

Nothing to prove
Or disprove
About yourself
Or to yourself

None of us
Have to
"Go to" anyone
And the idea
That we do is
A mental illness

We can't keep
Going to
Each other
Until we learn
To go to
Ourselves

Stop making
Our hatred of
Ourselves
Someone else's
Job
is a simple thing,
to think sideways,
practice makes a hindrance
when others think straight.

Love spills out from me in the form of words and tears and laughter.

I want to touch you and hold you and kiss you and love you so tenderly and with such softness that one wrong step could crush me.

Put me in your mouth and chew me up.
Take a bite out of my ripe, tender skin.
All you’ll find in this flesh, is love love love. Sweet and soft and juicy the way a peach bleeds.
"It is not quite finished"

"Well
Neither am I"
