Put Words Away
Stop,
Just for a moment
And speak to me from your heart.
I’m weary of polite conversation,
Workplace banter,
Conventional wisdom.
Walk with me outside our preordained roles
And let our words unfold.
Let us whisper love’s confessions in the dark
Then, put words away.

The Part Of Me
I love you,
She said.
But I know what she really loves.
She loves the part of me that loves her,
The part of me that becomes the whole of me
When I am with her.
Yes,
I do indeed love her love of the love I too love to love.
Yes.

I Saw Her Yesterday
It’s been over long enough now,
Long enough to go through an entire day
Without the ache of memory,
The stab of loss,
Long enough.
I saw her yesterday.
I could not approach her,
Not even a passing smile,
Just a quick retreat,
Acting against every impulse of my soul,
Starting over again.
