i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body.  i like what it does,
i like its hows.  i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones,and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the,shocking fuzz
of your electric furr,and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh….And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new

did you ever love somebody

but the timing was off?

your eyes are like rivers
under faded layers of algae, I'll uncover my ocean blue
along my spine they grant shivers
how could I ever find another you?

your touch is lightening
sending jolts through my being right from the tips of your fingers
it's really quite frightening,
after all this time, how could this feeling still linger?

your smile is my moon & sun  
gloom of night or cheer of day, it's all I ever see
but I feel that I've truly won
when I'm convinced it's only for me


your laugh is my favourite song
I could hear it on repeat for the rest of my time
do you think you'll keep me around for long?
wouldn't want you anything but mine
One morning in India, I learned
what I am remembering now
folding soft brown blankets,
beginning my day.

Taught by example, without any words
as brightly-colored fabric
flew deftly into perfect folds.

However simple our home, we honor it
with our care, to its walls and floors,
to ourselves, the people living within.

We honor it most of all with the words
we choose, with the silence we keep,
defining our lives in each simple moment.

Folding back winter clouds, resplendent
with color moments ago,
a prairie wind clears the sky
honoring this one and only today.

I am really tired,
but I need to keep going
just for you and me.
Take These Songs*

Songs flow through me
falling slowly in time
and these memories;
are they dreams,
are they true,
or fleeting fantasies of you.
If you want me
then reach out and touch me.
I am here
within your sighs,
within your melodies.
So take these songs
and take me home
there’s still the time to fly.
