Forever and an instant met up one day,
had a short but lovely talk,
then each went on its way.

What can't be solved by the family,
is resolved by friends.

If a writer
Falls in love with you
       you can never
                die................

i believe in a gentle kind of love
all soft and soothing and
just right
when i am so terribly, irritatingly fragile
fingers running down my back while we lie
rib to rib, heart to heart
listening to the beat, and to the breath
and perhaps it is that, in this world of rough and tumble
of screaming and aching, to believe in a love kind and sweet is
a naivety but i find that
because of all this roaring outside our window, i much prefer
to think of that love sweet and kind
and us, tangled around each other, i think, yes

i find that i believe in a gentle sort of love

you,
the song i put on my tongue,
the poem i whispered to my pen,
the love i breathed in my heart...
