if (like vows)

if I had you
to hold you
forever
like vows

would I have you
to hold you
forever
like now

every thought
every word
just kindness
towards you

can I have you
just hold you
forever
us two?

savage snore

when passion fails
and you begin 
your savage snore.  
I will slip away
to your sisters room
and comfort her  
again and again

suitcase

If I knocked at your door
homeless, jobless, penniless,
would you ask me in,
open your heart, 
offer your couch?
might we talk until dawn
then sleep through the day,
awake to something near hope?

heartfelt

spooning afterglow   
holding soft
your warm tummy 

my fingers
move slowly
between your breasts,

creeping further
to rest just below
your collarbone

where forefinger
and thumb surround
that tender spot

where they mended
your broken heart
to leave in my care.
