for baby doe

why do I love her?
she so difficult,
but so strong?

she

the anchor of my disposition
flung and insistent
legs splayed in a dance

bow legged nymph
radiant as science
and magic stumbling

Why do I love her?
I could provide a litany
of reasons beyond reason

such as melting poetry
archives of fingertips
Shall I go on?

angel of passion
aggression and retreat
feet against my legs at night

love is only whimsey
just a cracker baked for crumbling
a lesson lashed with candy

profound desire, yes
profound desire overcomes
reason, thank god

this makes romance possible
between we sames and opposites
forlorn as lovers

is there amnesty in our dreams?
is lust particular or general?
are we meant for each other?

romantics ask foolish questions
like where do you go when you die
I don't care about these things

only you.

Whoa! I was once loved. That's a great memory. And I loved him, too. I miss him....and I miss having love in my life. I know, I'm such a sentimental person. I can't help it. Sigh. Sigh... That about sighses it up. ;)

I don't worry about where I am going, but then I am crazy jack son of crazy mike. a fortunate son.

I remember the day I stopped thinking about you as just another white boy.

The day you told me about your great grandfather.
When I started thinking about you as another fortunate son.

fractured quote from geezer memory

Lovers who speak of forever
speak mindless of times constant prowl
time the unbending deserter leaves you only the now
if you fill every moment with love
the time will see that it is done
where are the children of sun light
and why did they all have to go.
