Love Note

Amorous versions of Note to Note.

Fathers of Sons

Fathers of Sons
 
they say we take your DNA 
and put  it away when we 
give you a son.

you never leave. 
we absorb you.

it’s not chemistry.
it’s got to do with biology.

to Love

the last one standing.
you haven’t conquered anything.
you never even tried.
you’ll just endure to the end,
won’t you.
and nothing else
ever has mattered.

Love Note

Tomorrow dawns with our embrace. We love prolifically, as thirsty Hibiscus. The sun comes. Our hearts open. Dead blooms fall to the ground. We don't look down.

Love Note

Deep breathing is how

to stay in Love

year after year

never fear

where Love will go or

come from flowing

through you and

around you pluck

it from the air and

let it stay there too

between me and you.
