When Words Do Not Suffice

When words do not suffice,

let me still try.

Let me strain to obtain

the how and the why.

When words fail to express,

let me show you

with tenderness. 

Let me return to the fire

that smolders between us,

and channel our desire,

hoping to explain in syllables

and sentences

and stanzas

how much you matter

to me.

When You’re in My Arms

I feel

complete,

at peace,

at rest;

at home.

ecstasy

you and me

free to be

in love

(My divorce taught me that)

My divorce taught me that

I can survive

a broken heart.

Never Again

Never again will I try

to convince a woman

that she wants to be

with me.

From now on,

I will be the one

to convince.

(You looked at all that I am)

You looked at all that I am

and all that I offer

and said, "Nope."
