Traces
You slipped from my hands
like grains of sand
I’m left desolate
with just a hint of you.
A few granules remain
proof you loved me once
just enough grains of reflection
sifted onto my splayed palms.

You made an invisible
sign of the Cross
over my head
so You don't forget—
you winkingly said.
I answered in smiles
knotting you to myself
with invisible threads
—so You'd be free from regret!
I thought to myself.

All I Will Ever Need
Love is all I need
I could be homeless
I could be starving
The world could literally
Be falling down around us
But as long as I have you
And as long as we share
The same love we do now
I will be fine
I will be satisfied
I may even be happy
I don’t need anything more
I would be content
It would be enough
To lay in your arms forever
And never move
Never do anything more
But without you
I couldn’t function
There would be no point
To doing anything
To breathing
To working
To writing
To living
Love is all I need
And it’s all that can kill me
It’s all that can destroy me
It’s the only thing
I may never bounce back from
You have power
Do with it as you please
I need you to know
You are all I need
SATISFACTION
Cow on bluff,
facing freeway--
satisfied enough.
On her own,
she chews and chews--
with never a groan.
Naught a care,
far from the herd--
just sunshine, fresh air.
Mind is clear,
not like WE are--
racing far and near.
