Some Poems For Mandy

at last my face begins to rest
at last my feet are curled
    warming on the soft plush carpet
fire for heat
    and light giving character
    in shadows and
        light darknesses
thoughts of the days happenings
fly like sparks
memories of a day adrift
    lazily stream into darkness
    night’s relaxing sooths
    full with sunset’s ease
    the books I’ve never written
    fall from the stars to me


talked to Mandy on the phone
she asked me if I would kiss her

Has she not heard it in my voice
	when I say that I love her?
Has she not seen my love sick dreaming?
Has she not talked deep into
	the night with me?
Has she not sensed the longing
	the desire in my poetry?
Does she not know that I have
	dreamed of kissing her for
	what seems like an eternity and
	if I could kiss her for one half
	that amount of time I would still
	long to kiss her again?

Mandy I love you and will kiss you whenever,
wherever I can even before you brush your
Teeth in the morning


Rain has stopped
The occurrence of
Sporadic heat
Yet in the basement,
Cool and dark,
I lay not wanting to
Move not wanting
To do anything
But to dream of the
Woman I love


How can I explain the way
I love you 
It is like my love of God
My love for nature
My love poetry
My love for beauty
    And indefinable happiness
My endless search for perfection
Instead of ending up in verse
Has been pettily packaged in a woman
Who gave her love to me
