Poem: If You Take My Hand Tonight

If you take my hand tonight,

I’ll show you a love as bright

As the moon reflected in your eyes;

A love as true

As a clear afternoon sky is blue;

A love as real for me

As I hope it is for you.

Poem: Siren Sound

The siren sound of a sleepless night

Seems to have too much appeal

For my too-tired mind to resist

Diving in once again.

Poem: Globe

The little globe on my desk

Spins tales for me of the city where we met –

And where you said you loved me

For the first time with your easy summer smile –

But as I twirl it with my finger, so smoothly,

Like you had me wrapped around yours,

I feel a sort of relief in knowing

That I don't wonder where you are

And what you’re doing anymore.

Poem: Summer Sun

I first felt that I had woken up

When I looked into your wide eyes

That seemed, to me, to glow

As warmly as the summer sun

Shining from its highest point

On the clearest possible afternoon.

Poem: About Moving On

Romantic love, lately,

Has brought thoughts

Of stories and fiction

To my mind; I feel a

New kind of love for

Myself as I realize that

You aren’t the first

Person who comes

To mind anymore.

Poem: The Sound of Sleeplessness

The whirring of a ceiling fan

Revolving at full speed

Is the sound of sleeplessness

That plays in place of dreams.
