smiles beginning

Do you choose the music you wrap yourself in 

Or does it choose you

How does it begin

I’d lay bets you reach out

With willowy fingers 

And some silken spider’s web smiles

And ensnares you as you thoughtlessly smile back

Coaxing it close around you, knowing you’ve no need to grasp

And this music and this you and this ease 

Finds us ensnared in the silk and the silly

Smiles beginning

Nothing Only Light

Carry on with sport of such great import

Continue conversing sublime inside joke

Convince all around your indifference to 

The light and the breath who did just say goodbye 

Covet the thought she knows not where she’ll roam 

She knows not where she’ll roam 

Curious thing, she’ll walk boldly with grace

Caress life’s left wrist, stare softly at truth

Conceived by the greatest and most perfect Will

The light and the breath it’s her honor to carry

Convicted her roaming will do just great good

She knows just that she’ll roam

Back To The Future: A Poem

Born of a curveball and dazzling smile
Perfecting Them everyday since
There was no way of knowing you hoped to be captured
And held and then softly convinced

But I did the dance you demanded of her
And I own the field quite fine, thanks
This smile you made and that smile I own
Equal forever in rank
