When you love
It can take away
Well at least
Soften those
Rough edges
When you love
It brings
A season
Of gold
Glittering in
The glorious light
When you love
A spring

Of joy
Flowing freely
Inviting new eyes

Within the eyes
Of another
When you love
An opportunity
Is afforded another
Afforded to you
Embrace and grow
Moving into
The gift offered

Tasting of cheese sticks at Applebee’s. Great going in. And going down. Void of sustenance. Leaving regret behind. What is lasting sex? 15 minutes?…
Laying quietly The yoga mat Hugging my body Melding into The earth Beneath my skin Breathing at A minimum Fully in The moment This moment The serenity Of this Sacred place The voice Of one Lovely and skilled An image Little Ricky Slowly moving in No longer A fog Bringing pain With it Welcoming him…
