    Is it too much to askTo have you sayAnd do all of theAppropriate thingsTo touch gentlyTo say the truth and beautyOf the momentsYou and I spend Is it too much to askTo respondTo the love I giveTo show the depthOf the love you feel Is it too much to askIs it a childish needIs this…

  • Did I ever tell you…

    I’m digging through letters for cluesFor endearments that will fill my cup They spill over and fall awayAs they come in with a rush Too many to graspI pick them up one by one In hopes to hold ontoLittle pieces of you

  • Unsent letters

    How many love letters do I have to write before they are sent, how many hours do I spend and lament over the impossible dream, the one that can’t be seen, and more and more it seems like it’s never going to be

  • The Shape of Us

    The shape of our love, our version of it, exists in bubbling thoughts of former lives, constant dreams of distant hearts where our lives are entwined Ripples of waves intersect jetting dangerously close but never on the same path turning heads, looking back How do we get off this track without losing control, without knowing…

  • Dear love

    Dear love,Thoughts of you the other day brought smiles. Today thoughts of you produced overrun swells in my eyes. The many years we’ve been separated, but how our hearts have always been close, how many more years will it be like this? Living in fantasy and memories all of the time is no way of…

  • Undying Flame

    Images and words suddenly appear, ones I’ve longed to hear hitting deep as they envelop me.Overwhelming, yet deeply satisfying. Since our last meeting your spirit arrived in the oddest of places: romantic restaurants, quaint cafes, art galleries, long car drives, concert halls, walking in a park, every room of the house, and late at night…

  • Him, Me, Us

    It was the rippling in his hair, the currents which ran through him and I caught in his riptide, always wondering if it was true. It was the crinkles in his skin around the eyes, years of wisdom and sun-kissed days, the spaces that I would soon settle in. It was our passion that bonded…
