Time goes by so slowly without you.
Our house is silent yet  full of echoes.
My existence now a sock
with a large hole.
It will take me a long time
to **** this one.

In your den I have moved
most of your things into boxes.
Except for your beloved pipe
it still carries its aromatic odors.

Today I gave your clothes to goodwill.
Except. I have kept your favorite old sweater.
In the dark it sleeps by my head.
Bringing to me
your familiar scent once more.
Reaching for you like I always did.

I call our phone again and again.
To hear the timbre of your voice.
Breathing in every nuance of each syllable.
Disturbing your new ghostly life.

It has more meaning than odors.
Or letters with faded photographs.
For a returning fleeting moment
you and I are together once again.

You ask me to leave a message.
I whisper I miss you honey

I know she is out there,somewhere.
Her eyes will fill with love
the moment we meet.
Tears of joy will cascade
down our faces.

The clock that has ticked quietly
Timing our meeting
timing the beginning
of our love story.
Will chime beautiful music.
Celebrating our love.

I know she is out there
she knows I am here
waiting for her.
We just can't see each other yet.
But we will....we will..she is there.
Just like the stars are always there
Even in the daylight
when you can't see them

As the sunlight glistens
on the purest waters
of a pristine lake.
Adorning it's beauty with
nature's diamonds.

As the soft white clouds of
a summer day.
release their raindrops
to a parched dry
weeping earth.

As the flowers
open their sweetest
petals to a warming sun
revealing their deepest
intimate secrets.

As the distant moon
pulls the greatest oceans
close to its embrace
in never-ending loyalty
and rhythm
with its natural
unseen power.

As the gentle falling snow
cascades upon a
a tired and jaded grey winter
world. repairing it's broken
scars with a
virginal down blanket
restoring it's beauty.

Is how
I give myself to you.

As the morning sunlight sparkles
on the pure waters of a pristine lake.
Adorning it's beauty with
nature's diamonds.

As the soft white clouds of
a summer day
release their raindrops
Quenching the thirst
Of a parched dry
weeping earth.

As the flowers
open their delicate
petals to a warming sun.
revealing their deepest
intimate secrets.

As the distant moon
pulls the greatest oceans
close to its embrace
in never-ending loyalty
and rhythm
with its natural
unseen power.

As the gentle falling snow
cascades upon a
a tired and jaded grey winter
world.
repairing it's broken
scars with a
virginal down blanket
restoring all of it's beauty.

Is how
I give myself to you
my love.

I know I am just a working man
i think in honesty that's why you left me.
I know I was never enough to make you stay.
I struggle with words I suppose two years
As class clown in English class caused that.
But give me a sick engine and my tool box
I can make it sound like poetry.

I saw a therapists  to help me
with my depression after you left me.
I think it was a broken heart.
I know my toolbox
could not help me to fix it.
She said to write my feelings
On a paper to get them out in the open.
Where they could be dealt with.

So here it is
my first writing project.
since my c minus in 12th grade
This is not a love poem for you.
Please Don’t take this as a love poem.

I do not care to relive
our romantic moments in my poetry.
Like when I saw you for the first time.
And the songs of angels
sang in my bursting heart.

I will never write a love poem for you
Like when we sheltered from the spring rain
Below an old  maple tree
dripping in olive greens
And I noticed the colour of its leaves
Were the exact colour of your eyes.

I am finished with silly love poems
And will never mention again
How I stop and my heart skips a beat
when I hear a laugh thats
exactly like yours.
Or see a woman from behind
and her hair is burnished gold
Just like I remember yours.

I think I am better now almost cured.
Intruth I am quiet over you.
In fact I hardly ever think of you,,anymore.
Except perhaps in springtime.
But then again
I should never think of springtime.
For that would surely
break my heart in two

When memories glow
like burning embers
And we sit by a winters firelight
The snowflakes falling in silence
Sleep calling to us in whispers..

The book of love
that we wrote together
Composed slowly
upon the fleeting years.
Once more falls open
in a vision of passions

When your eyes are as grey
as a foggy morn
Filled with sadness
as times ravages.scorn.


You will only weep in your soul
Because only I have loved you
Deeply inside your being

We are as two stars.
Within the same constellation
Glowing forever in the starry night
of an eternity passed.

Glowing together with the knowledge
Of a lifetime touched by starlight
Caught in the glowing light
of the timeless night sky.
