If love were a city 

I would crawl through every alley

On hand and knee

Feeling every crevice

Caressing each contour

Of it’s aged pavement

Relishing each touch

Wondering at each turn

Lost on streets, with names long forgotten

Meandering past walls never named

It would trouble me little

The distance left to traverse 

The steady, unrelenting passage of time unforgiving

For by now I know

I am already home

Long Waits

Leisurely ticks the second hand.Making customary circuits andLazy rounds, within the perimeter of eternity.While bounds, of anticipation set me freeOf time, allowing each moment to be a Meeting mineEach longing sigh, a secret poem thine.
