The Intersect
In the midst of the struggle
In the middle of the pain
In the midst of the chaos
In the middle of the change.
When life seemed confusing
and my path was indirect
is when I found you
on a journey that intersect.
Tulsa, OKC
and a few towns in-between,
our paths crossed
creating a love unforeseen.
Together forever
was our wedding vow
choosing a life together
without questioning how.

When Past and Present Intersect
Some find the present holds no happiness.
Cocooned in memories of glory days,
they spin embellished views of each success
and leave bad times to vanish in the haze.
Some lend the past no power in their lives.
They learn no lessons from mistakes they’ve made.
If unacknowledged past with present strives,
will those same issues future peace degrade?
But wise ones know

Where Our Lives Intersect There Is No Sunshine
Where our lives intersect there is no sunshine
It seems we are rooted in coldness.
How we nourish ourselves is our mystery.
On the outside we look healthy, even beautiful,
Others envy what they think we have—vibrant love.
But through our veins runs the ice water of our darkest winter.
Our outer shells are just that—shells
Golden in appearance to others who

Intersect
Find your own way
Through haze and maze;
Live well each day
In dazzling craze.

In your affairs;
For where you roam
Confronts new cares.
Find all right here
Within your soul;
Start with good cheer
To know sure whole.
Find what you seek
In faith and hope;
Know that the meek
Can sculpt kind

Heart Streams Intersect Then Diverge
Sum of two, percolating hearts
Two forks merge, Love's current to kickstart
Love's seminal streams nutrients cart
Naively, through winding conduits dart
Each mind's eye the vital signs chart
Through coronary arteries; blithe goals, hopes jump-start
Strains increase blood pressure, tearing conjunctive cells apart
Gritty plaque dams; communication channels thwart
From heart's door, through silted veins, corroding dreams depart
Alter egos swell; each

Glitzy Currents Intersect Spark Wavelengths
Colored lights may hypnotize
and sparkle someone else's eyes
now, woman
your words
glitter like you've been drinking glitterade from devilish
dixie cups' alchemy secreting formulas outshining
phosphoric secretions from fireflies and other
coelacanthic creel creatures scantily clad depth diving
kaleidoscopic critters glitter glowing fash gnashing
ostentatious understated fatal attraction
ultra auric traffic controls
glow neon landing strips untorched
metal smith’s grinding wheel sparkles
oxyacetylene torch, arc
