ONE Part One I absorb her as if she were me, Dear, allow me within, to set us free. The world isn’t our world and our world isn’t the world. Cold to bold to old the way ahead is untold, togetherness to achieve happiness with a by-product of fearless. He to me, I see I see, eyes of enchanting melody, One, two, three you are bound to thee. Heart and mind and mind and heart as one, even during the darkness shall not come und...

As I held back my unrequited love’s hair while she relieved her troubled stomach all over the icy pavement, I reflected that this wasn’t exactly how I’d hoped to spend my first Christmas in London. The previous year, after months of interviews in secret, I’d landed a new job in the City. I celebrated by taking my work colleagues out for a curry - a kind of Merry Christmas/Happy New Job/Goodbye kind of thing. I’d sure miss...

Your hand dwarfs mine as you hold it tight, Walking along the glorious shore, The sunlight dances across the water, And the waves lap playfully at our feet.   No words are spoken, none are needed, Our hearts have a language all their own. A stolen glance, and a wistful smile Say more than words could anyway.   We stop to take in the glorious view, The sun, the sky, the blue-green waters, But the sight that holds the most...

Love is a mother  Who tends and cares Wrapping her arms around you Letting you know she’s there   Love is a father  Who protects and defends Savior of booboo’s   Your very first best friend    Love is a sibling  Who teases and whines  Annoyingly impatient  Yet your greatest ally    Love is a lover First kiss in the night The one who teaches  And holds you tight    Love is your soulmate  Who captures your heart Bonding you...

No matter how far away we are. Your voice makes my heart melt. Circumstances have kept us apart. Our love keeps us together.   Even if you are across the ocean or in the mountains. You will always be close to me. I will find a way for you to be next to me. We are meant to be together forever.   Everything leading up until today is in the past. Being together here and now is our future. Holding hands walking together, side...

I remember when I met you, a long long time ago I knew that once I’d found you, I could never let you go   We became so close together, we always got along You meant so very much to me, I knew it wasn’t wrong   To love another woman, never thought I’d see the day I simply fell in love with you, the day you came my way   Nighttime I would lay awake, just turning in my bed Sleep would never come to me, with you inside my he...

At the top of a hill, in the corner of the lot sat a blue Camry, still running. The driver, a woman, more nervous on this day than she ever had been, sat staring at the wheel. She was jolted out of her mindless gazing by the radio host yelling in that over the top voice that could only belong to a disc jockey. She turned the car off and sat very still. She still couldn't believe she was actually here. Actually going throu...

Sitting alone, again, on a sweet September evening. You’re so far away and yet you permeate my every thought I see your face in the clouds as they sail across the sky I hear your voice as the waves crash upon the shore Water curling over and toppling the sand with its foamy white froth   The sky takes on a pastel hue deepening as it reaches the horizon The leaves of the palm trees wrestling as I sip my glass of wine Wind-...

I have amongst my real life friends a friend that I call A She writes such charming poems and swings the other way   Whilst making love by candlelight she finds it most appealing To lie back while her shadow does a dance across the ceiling   When she wakes her day begins with a ritual she can’t miss She takes her lover by the hand and plants a tender kiss   Her lover is a friend of mine we’re very close you see I won’t di...
