Meetings

"You look young for your age"

he says and

She laughs out loud

and says

"not really"

and then he wonders

what she means and

he's not sure now

if they should meet

after all

but if he says so

what will his excuse be?

since he's been acting

so eager

and then she says

"are you there?"

and he says

"Yeah

how about the Sylvia

on Sunday

at three"

Awakening

Tenderness is a lie,

compassion folly,

intimacy a pretender

stealing the night

creating fantasies

dreams with rude

awakening

 

One day all will be lost

secrets revealed

sorrow

awakening

 

I don't believe her

I am beyond doubt

I know his tenderness

is true

His compassion

Our intimacies

that steal the night

our dreams

joy

 

awakening

Up in the Morning

"Up in the morning's no for me

up in the morning early"

If I'm disturbed before 'tis noon

you're sure to find me surly

I am nocturnal in my soul

don't miss the sun arising

I spend my eves with muse and pen

which isn't so surprising

I love to sit and watch the stars

the constellations shining

I lose myself in thoughts of love

for which my heart is pining

So leave me to  my late night play

no "up in the morning early"

If I'm disturbed before 'tis noon

You're sure to find me surly

'Ellecee"
