hesitate
i didn’t mean to
your eyes, unblinking
patient
suck me in deep
 
and now i know
i can’t reply
 
the gulf widens
like a crack in the lake ice
 
as you turn
away
 
the crack expands
and i sink into
blackness

"You" written on 03/2000

a sensing,
a feeling starting deep within me
self armoured tree, its sap trapped inside
has started to flow again
 
i let your kindness
like cool clear water
seep into my well-defended soul
 
mornings after nights and days of wonderment
leave me vibrantly tranquil
 
i hang up the phone and soar
into the sky through clouds and
back into myself
 
tonight
is a lifetime away
salty tears of joy form up
but don’t spill
in anticipation
 
later lying beside me
your hand touching mine
power, raw energy flows from your fingertips
through me
around me
and then i feel me flowing to you
into you
through you and we are transformed

    I started my "Poem-A-Day" writing exercise back in 2010. It was a way to get into the habit of writing everyday.  It took awhile but once I got into it I really enjoyed the process.  I took a break in 2023 to work on getting "Carbon Copy" into the wild. I also wanted to re-read my poem-a-day scribblings to see if there were any unpolished gems amongst the rubble.  My plan is to post one per week in my Blog.  Find "Carbon Copy" at:
