Happy Birthday
September 4, 1932—March 31, 2018
Falling
my dreamer’s dream
the fluff of fairy tales
and happy endings;
the fresh fragrance of you
like a May morning after rain
all that I feel
a lovely anguish
and a longing
relieved only by your kiss
and your arms encircling me
cheek touching cheek
your hand firm on my back
guides me as we dance;
our hearts falling
into the same rhythm
Red Lights
