Has it really been a decade
since you were in my arms?
Ten years ago, I bid farewell
to you and all your charms.

Be Mine. Pretty Peas?!

You’ll always be the one for me;
we’re two peas in a pod.
So plump, so round…You’re all I see.
My soft, green heart is awed.
First Blood

If you must cut me,
do the job with crystal.
Let ruby gemfire
lick (then burn)
your litany of
leavings
on my palm.
You Rock Me Solid

Not only do you rock, you are one––
That’s the honest truth.
I oughta know; you’ve had my back
since we were in our youth.
Inoculation

Saying goodbye was harder than she thought,
but then, it’s true she rarely thought at all.
She acted and reacted, forged ahead,
kept moving, praying that she wouldn’t fall.

it was her eyes
he blamed them,
claimed they cut him
down to size
she said he lies

It’s harder now to tell where your part ends.
Or where my part begins, as time goes on.
I only know that when I speak of friends,
I always name you first. You are lifelong.
Words Fail Me

You are sunshine in the morning
and the northern star at night…
the clouds that give me warning
when the storm is out of sight.
