Overheated Again

You’d be proud

You finally sat still

And let my overheated body crash onto

What I think was your chest

While some big-eyed, long-legged, bubble-blowing bug

Dug in

And giggled at the whole thing

Whose eyes were more sleepy – yours or mine?

A movie we couldn’t have missed

It was epic

And here I am overheated again

Or it could have been your shoulder before 

Epic, I said

Amidst The Noise

I hope too
I do

I hope He
Whispers with stardust 
My name 
Into your heart 

And it swirls and won’t settle
And it stirs your feet
Until you are found

In the calm wind
Of your name
That He whispered 
Into my heart

Concerto

The soul-thieving
The final note
The rise of it, without warning
The float away, away 
The carried heartstrings
The compelled to stay, to wait
The Violin, faultless 
The love, endless Any Way 

Storied Smile

Mr. Great, Mr. Great
I must touch your teeth
They have stories, such great stories
I’ll tempt them to tell

I have secrets, secret secrets
And a contagious splash
See here This Thing, This Shiny Thing
I’ll force your smile yet 

Truths

Next in the dream-come-true
After all the gathering
And the love
And the rest
Dr. Maya waived me back
Knowing look in her eye
Yes on your test, she crooned
Miracle as it is in this advanced media age
Despite the education and planning and all
But there was that hope
Then the faith
Congratulations
What will you name it
