December 2025

Abundant FuelStill I return to this fire,
Drawing BloodMaybe she was right after all
Like A FeverEros passes through me like a fever.
Pull Me InOne more day pondering, wondering, wandering,
How Are YouWouldn't you like to just talk about this?
What You Were FeelingI see your composure slip (a rare thing for you)
Lost VoiceI'm confused. Does that suit you, or was it an…
Standard Repertoire?What did you mean by extracting from a song
GhostsWhy do I linger in this garden, where only ghosts
Lark (She Could Fly)A lark sits still in her cage,

Toward Some IthacaThe Mother's unwanted affections could ruin
Yet To Be NamedSwirling, tumbling, over and in between
If I CanThese are the harder poems, the darker truths
Struggle, PrometheaI begin to understand, to see your burden.
MatinéeI shall come to the matinée, when the sun is up,
SynchronicitiesIt's amazing just how many signs, past and present,

Life Is StrangeOnce more, with feeling, summoning
Thorns and BriarsI think there is more than one way to arrive,
Worth AskingThere was a time before I knew this kind of love,
Quarter MoonA quarter moon dares me to ask bold questions,
This Secret WarmthI don't know how this happened, nor does it matter.
Can It Make Us Happy?I would love you until the stars burn out.
Somewhere She SmilesSomewhere she smiles, and that light
Our Next LivesLet us go into our next lives
A Signal in SmokeA new pain, new decisions, the war of the magi
Father Knows BestFather knows best, doesn't he, but maybe not this…
Classes BeginI have much to learn, but I am

JungleI must now measure my growth by the hour,
DemonstrationYou should be careful what you read.
Deciding What To DoI never told you how you caught my eye.
Talking To MyselfI'll just keep talking to myself.
The Central DreamAre we both cynical romantics? Big dreamers who have…
Dual PolarityWhat was the meaning of those signs with dual…

Finally AliveAll my tender feelings return time after time.
Feet Firmly Planted on EarthWas the urge of the unconscious perhaps only…
I believeI believe it now, though it took a long time.
From AfarThere you are, and always were,
HandkerchiefThis is just to say:
ScheduleYou say you want forever?
Burning Burning BurningBurning burning burning
Trust and Open DialogueBut you may leave me no choice. Love is not all,
Seeds of YouI have seeds of you
Touch and SootheDid I mean farewell? Or did I mean

FarewellFarewell, my love. I have dreamed you
Worth SomethingIt has had a long gestation, but now
To Rest At AllI have said what I needed to say, and now
Open HeartsWho can say, as day
Dying RosesI think things must end. We live
IrrigationThe only kind of love I would want
As If Love Can't Be QuestionedI know the way. The night is dark, but my eyes
Not So Useful AnymoreI think she used me, but I did
Starting AgainSoothe me, gentle spirit, goddess of flame...
No Day But TodayWe all must live our lives
They Don't Even KnowA murmuration flutters from tree to tree.
The Eternal DanceTell me what I want, and I will
PossibilitiesA flock of birds scrounges in icy soil.
The View Is LovelyYour way is harder

Can't WaitI can't wait. What a double entendre.
Can't Be Put OutWe must not hide. I can hear you
Clothes Back OnMust I put my clothes back on?
No Other WayLife is funny, isn't it, but not always in a way…
Fetch ItI passed you the ball
Am I Right?Am I right? Or have I pushed too far, dreamed too…
Getting ThereIf I should call now, it would interrupt a process

Two Black SheepI can see it:
Carried AwayI would like to believe, I really would, but the…
What's Best For YouI can answer for myself, my whims and stray…
Plant in the DarkShe was a plant in the dark.

CalypsoYears ago, I stopped off on Calypso's shores
The One That Deserves To Be HeardNever again would birds' song be the same.
Come and SeeWill we walk together, once the dust has settled,
Only Your HeartYou sigh and say you have a need.
The Troubles of LoveI just don't know. Can any secret love
SeedFor a time a seed germinates underground,
Naked But UnashamedI should have known that you were looking,

New Moon PhaseA bitter wind rips through even the warmest attire.
Forever To Yourself Be TrueAll is quiet, and it's eerie
It Takes TwoI feel strangely ready, prepared by years
The Punished Become The PunishersA witch from my past haunts my sight,
Will You Come?Will you come? I would like to
Time Is Coming SoonI see you in my dreams. You are half smiling,
Love Can Be DoneI didn't see it coming, and yet

Your EyesYour eyes know secrets, and I would fall
Make Ourselves AnewIt was true, it was always true, there can be no…
Twin EaglesTwin eagles soar
Shadow (Wherever Light Shines)And so the General of hot desire
DebutYou confirm my suspicions,
No Matter How CivilizedLooking back from a posture of wholeness
If Any Vigor RemainsI came to them not with hope but with fury.
No Longer SandI look forward to meeting you
Another HandI am once again myself.
Puella AeternaI have noticed that you are a woman.
Live WireShe was a live wire
Not TodayEnjoy your freedom. It has been well-earned,
