Poetry originally published in February and March of 2006:
Love is Light
Simple phrases sometimes
Sound the best
In tangled situations
And I never met
A poet yet
That didn't err in favor
Of the sentimental
A time or two this year
Yet please don't think
I mean to excuse
These profound moments
That truth seeps through
The cracks of this
Hastily erected wall
Love is like sunlight
Just a little touch
Is enough to kindle hope
In the dormant furnace
Of an icy heart
So raise a glass
Wipe the tears
As St. Valentine draws near
I'll be sharing a round
With Sgt. Pepper
While the Lonely Hearts Club band
Gets by with a little help
From my friends
And the world will feel
Sunrise To My Surprise
awakened to the prospect
of another day spent inventing
stories to entertain the subdued
remains of our tired relationships
but it's funny
how those vain imaginaries
never seem to pass beneath
the shallow surface of a spoon fed understanding
only able to accept the trivial or mundane
still a small spark
pops in the wilderness
igniting a single flame
an idea glowing in eyes
that say more than your
words ever could
and I know somehow
the past will fade into a glimmering
pinpoint in the starfield
of this relational tapestry
woven between us
filling this view
sunrise to my surprise
seen for the first time
without the pretense
of what we might've meant
by that...
