Poem for her 793

Dear Dear Readers,


Smiles

She giggled as I told her something
The scene is everywhere
There on a note book line
There on a porch swing
There on a path somewhere
On paths and days and weeks
Years and seconds and just
There in memory and video and film
There that just say something
Just make a face in my own vid
There I was
Amazing her
By being me
Full blown all of me
Pushing all of me into that moment
Telling her every deep dark part of me
In long emails
Unloading myself
Into the lines
There for her to see
I couldn't stop
I didn't want to stop
Needed to tell her
So I did
Then
Magic
Miracle
That sign
Those words
She said them
I asked to repeat that
She did


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.
