A Thank-You Note
Simple love:
The longing for one more day.
Fully here and fully alive
Simply love
Every moment I have.
Thank you.

The Next Best Thing
If I can’t be next to you now,
The memory of you
Is the next best thing.
Keep me! Keep me!
The sweet and tender moments chirp
Like birds,
Disappearing into the sky.
Astoria, New York
In the morning hours of December 12, 2021
Morning Hours
I stay in bed
In the dim light of morning hours
To be with the memory of you
In between dream and reality.

This Moment For You
Are you happy to know
Right now
3,000 miles away
Someone on earth
Feels this strongly about you
Thinking of you as a
Kind
Generous
and
Attractive
Human being?
My thoughts may change
My feelings too.
But I want you
To own this moment
- this moment
I want you
to be happy
Like the other 42 happiness
On your left arm.
