fear not the
juggernaut
my son
you can not
stop it
you must not
block it
stand aside
my son
and let it
pass.

she is the wind
blowing cool through an open window,
caressing exposed skin,
giving me shivers and
ordering hairs to stand at attention.
when i open my eyes
i see only the evidence
of her passing.

she is the wind
hanging heavy on a summer day;
...sweat beads burst from skin,
her warm touch licks them as
they roll down my face.
when i reach for her
i feel only the heat
on my fingers.

she is the wind
rustling the leaves of my soul,
swaying branches of my tree,
causing overripe memories to
fall to the ground;
leaving me bare and vulnerable
and uncertain of the future.
when i look for her
she is inside me; outside me;
and all around.
she is the wind.

i looked with
quizzical disdain
it was plain
i was not amused
as i perused
and openly confused,
i was
about to say...

she said "chill"

she stood with
stern command
glass from sand
she would not budge
(not even for fudge)
but not to judge,
she was
about to ...say...

i said "chill"

we held on
to the night
fear the light
blind to the unknown
where the winds blown
what's to be shown?
we were
about to say...

"chill"

as i walked a winding road
that shifted beneath my feet
i met a woman with shifting load
that winded beneath her seat

said i to her, put on a smile
and the shifting will be ceased
said her to me, swallow your bile
and the winding will be pleased

said i to her, let it all go
and the load will be as air
said her to me, let it all go
and the road will be as fair

said i to her, walk with me
and we will see the world anew
said her to me, talk with me
and we will see the world us two

I love you so much and/or now more than ever
You inspire me to be better and/or to be clever
You are so beautiful and/or so stunning
You call and I get moving and/or start running

I love you so much and/or more than I admit
When you are sad, I give in and/or submit
My goals are to fill you with joy and/or happiness
And to end and/or mitigate your pains and/or distress

I love and/or cherish your wit and/or your mind
Someone better, I could never come across and/or find
I love and/or desire your body and/or your touch
I crave and/or pine for you a lot, greatly and/or so much

To say that I am glad and/or happy would be to understate
It is your love that fills me, completes me, and/or permeates
I can speak endlessly and/or forever of what my feelings entail
Like my words and/or thoughts, my love will not cease and/or fail
