How I Loved You Then

Oct. 21, 2007


Working Out...an ode to happiness

He is hope, personified
Inhale that vibe, infusions
Of energy that uplift.

An inner smile pushes outwards

Until I can feel those muscles
In my face again.

They ache with disuse, but
I carry on, a daily exercise
Easier with time.

It seemed impossible
This meeting, unexpected, perhaps
Unwanted, but I am here
Cloaked in his smell, his clothes
His presence and there is peace
At long last.

Trust

Trust.
That I want you in my life.
Trust.
That I care.
My baby steps toward you
May seem too small
But still I’m walking.
