Past lives

 I wonder

How many of these words

We've spoken to each other

In other lifetimes together

Gloomy

 Eventually your thunder stops

Echo chamber quiets

Left with your storm cloud

In stillness alone

My sunlight won't be there

To brighten your gray skies

Cup

You cup my worries 

In your hands

Just like my face

And you kiss away 

Tears trailing from both

15 Seconds of Joy

 Do you think I didn't notice

You stopped watching my story

When I starting writing

In the language of love

#masclesbian

 I stare at her in wonder

She is modern art

Mondrian, Nevelson, Pollock

Some fools don't get it

Bravery required every day

While she wears it on her sleeve

Her sexuality, her heart

Bundle of complexity

Tough but soft

Driven yet sentimental

They don't understand the beauty

How she takes control

To kiss me gently

Masculine packaged girl 

Who loves her flowers

Her words take me dancing

Though sometimes I lead

Our scales balance

The emotional weights

Give and take

My goodness she's a giver

And I live in awe of my luck

That I even get to hold her hand

Thanks Technology

 I wrote to you many times

Not knowing the address was yours

Sent my words on the air 

Out of my hands 

Calling to you blindfolded 

And the universe carried you to me

I met you in my bedroom


I Don't Mind Aging

You don't like the lines in your face but

I read them like a storybook

How often a big grin spreads across

Your skins remembers

The magic of your laughter

I'm jealous of the sun

All its kisses to your forehead

And of time itself

The journey you've had together

Walking alongside your growth

Now here you are in front of me

A champion of all the past 

Challenges and heartache

Crinkles around your eyes

Show your resilient spirit

And my intention and promise:

I'll make those smile lines deeper

Parched

 My love your love Acid Rain Pouring down on me I raised my face Drink it in Burning My eyes my throat So parched Thirsty for any Drop
