I muse upon her
At a tree by
The lake,
I take my time,
Try to see
The line
Of her grin,
I can't
Put a pin
On what it is
I love in her.
It's a sin–
The way her
Hand can play
Over her face,
My lips
Long to feel
Her skin,
Her silk.
I miss
Her eyes,
The sigh of
A kiss,
She is a
Poet with a
Look that can
Send me.
I am her
Enby, true
To the End.
We will find
Joy.
If only
She
Was
Here
With
Me.

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.

Dear BJ - So glad that I've just discovered your 'original' talent. *As I scroll through your incredibly eclectic offerings I've subscribed to you with pleasure. I'm just a retired highly scrutinized Legal Biz Writer morphed into a self described "Goof Writer" never entering contests/or stat counts; nothing more.
