For You


Still Life w/ tea

for you,
i would do most anything.
just to spend time.
to talk
or see your face,
to be with you,
within the circle
of your grace.
i would keep my hands
to myself
always,
so as not to hug,
or hold or scare you,
dear to me that you are.
i would keep my place.
if you would have the time.
Patience,
to call you mine
if only
for those short,
infrequent times.

Just the Same


NoHo

Even if you don't,
I love you just the same.
I see you
in your flaws,
your pale perfection
and intellect.
I see your bright-eyed
wonder
and smile.
I see the glow you hold,
and only want to
circumnavigate,
or at least to live
within the orbit
of your presence
as you travel through.
My sun is always shining
brightly upon you,
and radiating
and reflecting,
absorbing..
the perfect un-perfectness
this.
that glow that is very just you.
I live for moments,
the many days,
where the earth aligns
just right, the tilt..
your hello like waves,
your smile like a welcome shore,
your words are like hope
I bundle within
with string
and joy
and light.
and even if you
actually have rejected me,
Oh, but I love you just the same.
