A voice inside said,
come, come back
to the place where
my college years
started.
Burnt out
I came back
from college
in Cedar Falls
for the summer
to a familiar place,
and I was reborn.
Six others and I stayed
in the fraternity
working summer jobs.
The quiet bars near campus
and familiar places
echoed memories
of the bustle
of fall and spring semesters.
But now I sought
a sense of peace,
and two geese swam
on Lake Laverne
near the Memorial Union.
The sun reflected on sidewalks
that crisscrossed
the university campus
journeys taken
of myself and others
to discover who we were.
In the midst of classes
and changing measures,
and I found my place,
although I knew
my life would take
me somewhere beyond.
But for now
the voice that said transfer
two years earlier
called me back.

No lie, I'd be in grave trouble, 
               Should you slip far out of sight. 
        That's why I need you to hold me close. 
   I'm afraid I'd be incomplete, if you disengage.
Imagine how Shirley would feel without Laverne? 

             Or Colombo without his overcoat?
           Never let me go, or you'd render me 
      Lifeless, because life is in your every kiss.
You're bald eagle carrying all of hope on its wings, 
               And if you soar far out of view...

              You'd leave me none to cling to.
                What good is a bloomed rose
        Deserted by bees, birds and butterflies?
             I plead that you don't forsake me 
        Because you're the nectar for all of life!

             Hold steadfastly to me, I implore.
  If you unwrap your tight embrace, I'll no longer
         Hear the sound of your breath, or feel
        Your heartbeats; now you see, my love...
                  Why I can't do without you?
