You vs. Off The Cuff

What would it take for time to find you off the cuff?

In some better place – could drive out toward the aqueduct

Stumbling through, charging toward the finer points

To a much better you, and a much better me

And not quite as gone

And now is the time I feel the strong need to tell you how

How right it all feels…

How perfect it is to see you again



Nameless, But A Lover

Fragile goes the lakeside

And fragile goes the moon

Endless on the riverbed

Where we left it all too soon

And I walked you many places

And thought about you in between

You were shaken in the aftermath

In a sleepless kind of sheen

Finally easing off the secrets

And moving with the days

You staggered all your visits

And there was a new warmth in your face

And you said: “Something too familiar

Can sometimes be the bane…

You are nameless, but a lover

And you are completely my terrain.”
