Our Two Hearts
The spark of distant stars jump-starts
the rhythmic beating of our two hearts.

JUST RIGHT, In Two Parts
College Before Family, 1982
My pen just writes
My dog just bites
My wife just fights
And I just might
Decide everything’s alright.
Empty Nest, 2025
Life didn’t quite yield that plight
Because the pen barely writes
The pups play fight
The kids had height
Were polite
And actually bright
The wife’s a delight
Most days and nights
My life might be trite,
And I’m good with this slight rewrite.

Two circular villas
Two circular villas perched on the bony roots
No coat, no paint, only the scent of the bare skin
Restive camera instinctively released its telelens.
From nowhere, a tornado started wreaking havoc.

We write poetry : Part Two
We write poetry (2)
I love what you stand for,
That’s why I gave you a ring.
Then after the phone call,
And a couple of years,
I gave you a ring again,
As you wiped away the tears.
And the two of us wed,
And slept together in our bed,
In our wonderful home.
We are no longer alone.
We are the lucky ones,
And

Two Too Much
To Tantalize with Skirt
To Jiggle and Giggle
To Romanticize and Flirt
Too Fickle with Wiggle
To Fantasize 'bout Skirt
No Jiggle and Giggle
To Dehumanize and Hurt
No Pickle to Wiggle

The Lonely Angel : Part Two
Scatters through strangers' scraps,
spoilt teens point and laugh,
she'll feast on left over snacks,
fills her belly & crashes on grass.
Her warmth at night, snugly blanket,
given thoughtfully by homeless stranger,
She's used to buses causing rackets,
sleeps in secret places, avoid the dangers.
She's like a needle in a fast society,
a sweetheart buried in debris
How does a mother abandon

Two Shall Become One
Your soul has shown me through your heart,
A loving, caring and kind part.
And from your mind it says to me,
Intellect and wisdom reside in thee.
And to your soul I do relate,
Experiencing oneness with my soulmate.
For no other presence has more blessed my life,
As having you as my eternal wife.
Two shall be one throughout eternity,
Sharing their

Celestial Two
* *
Through space and time,
Galaxies far and wide,
You’re the brightest star,
My galactic, cosmic guide.
The moon and sun,
So far up above,
Brought us both together,
Each other’s one true love.
A vast celestial view,
Gazing here as two,
My universe first began,
And will always end with you

TWO SOULS DANCING
They were not the greatest dancers…
Their bodies didn’t always move the way they wanted them to move…
and in all the years they’ve danced together…their dancing has not improved..
When the music starts to play…they try moving with the beat
but she is always one step behind…and he has two left feet.
During slow songs they hold each other…they

Only two ways to live
Two ways to live, love:
Dwelling on banks of Ganges
Heavenward to move,
Betwixt breasts where heaven is,
Forgetting moral judges.

The Harmony Of Two Half Hearts
Love is the symphony of two half hearts, destined to become one,
A union of kindred spirits, where love's melody is forever sung.
When disparate halves attempt to merge, the bond will falter and break,
For one heart may be rugged, while the other is smooth, and their love will eventually part and ache.
But when two halves of

High in the Top of Two Cottonwood Trees
my castle is twenty-six foot high in the top of two cottonwood trees
My daddy made it for me, he called it a tree house, but it is my fort.
My refuge, my camouflage, my hearth, my home.
I can sit here all day with a pillow, a swig of water and seven books.
I would make it eleven
