I am

I want to taste

The Knowledge on your lips,

I want to feel

The truth you have to share.

Healing begins

Knowing where I end

Being feels

Like I am reborn.

Thirsting for it all

Pouring it down

The channels of

My endless spirit.

Reaching out across

Time into perpetuity,

I touch the truth in you,

And swallow the sweetness of life.

No Photos

Siitting in the cool

wet sand,
Feeling the grainy,

earthy texture

Against my hands.

The water lapping

lazily at my toes,

The sun picking up

the gold in his hair,

my son.

Laughing as the surf
erodes the fruits

Of our afternoon's work.
Wading in the calm bay,

Looking back at the shore
Trying to freeze the frame.

Burn this image into my brain,
Carve it into my center

My heart wants to know it
forever.

No cameras, No Phones,
No photos.

Just me, just him,

The summer son

and I continue our

lovely swim.

When Love is a Drug

When love is a drug
It intoxicates

It teases

It promises,

It pleases.

When love is a drug

It surrounds you

It feeds you
It says
It will never leave you.

When love is a drug,

Nothing is real

An illusion

Meant to confound

And confuse you.

When love is a drug

You ache

You feel greed

You suffocate

You bleed.

When love is a drug,
It leaves

You feel like you want to die

You cry and pray

You can say Good-Bye.
