Serious words
If you should decide
that we can be
the one for another
that certain brass ring
we can each reach for
If you should decree
that we can be
the one for another
that something or other
we can strive to be
If you should intone
that we can be
the one for another
that shelter from the storm
we can hope for
If you should bemoan
that we can be
the one for another
that first hesitant step
we can but take
And hope

"Ache"
My heart aches, for the one
I love
She is the one, the only one
for me
I feel so lost, without her
so alone, bereft
Oh how I long for her touch
her smile
the brightness she brings with her
the smell of her hair
All that she is
I ache
for
Her
"Would it?"
What if I were to say
you complete me
Would it matter?
If I were falling, down a cliff
and you were all I could think of
would it make a difference?
If you were the first thing I thought of when I awoke
and the last thing I thought of before I went to sleep
would it change anything?
If I told you that I couldn't function during the day
because you were always in my thoughts
would it convince you?
I can only hope, and wait.

"The Plum"
On the table
a plum, cut in half
dripping and juicy
on a chipped china plate
On the floor
a womans dress
tossed aside
rumpled and careless
In my bed
the one
who makes my blood
burn like fire
As the plum drips
on the chipped china plate
juicy and sweet
and so very lovely
