insulated silence
snowflakes big as your hand
falling soft at dawn

The question has always been why
Why this?
Why you?
Why now?
The answer has been more difficult to name
Yet love makes its own way
To those who least expect it
In the time that can only be now
You are unexpected
A most joyous surprise
I didn't see you coming
Yet here we are~so close
My heart, my life
Will never be the same

Today Sol is slow
Faraway cold and dimmed
Winter's hold is strong

Listen to my words
Hear only what I say
Take this opportunity
To relax your mind
To rest your imagination
You might find strenth there
Where voice and words can
Again become meaningful.

Living a pipe dream
What hubris is this
To love you so
Imagining you long in my life
Deepest friendship
Sweetest lover
Ersatz partner
Foolishness in purest form
A precious fantasy
To grow old by your side
Together
And not
Content with half measures
Satisfied with self-imposed limits
My beautiful pipe dream

White brightness shines warm
Garden growing with each touch
Bathed in summer sun
Love nurtures gentle expansion
Warmth flows from your kind gaze
