Eyes

In your eyes

I see the planets

soft and blue

slowly turn

for me to contemplate you.

I stare with great joy.

Inspired by Candy who introduced us to, Billy Collins. Here’s his poem and her response:

Carry

I want to carry you
and for you to carry me
the way voices are said to carry over water.

Just this morning on the shore,
I could hear two people talking quietly
in a row boat on the far side of the lake.

They were talking about fishing,
then one changed the subject,
and, I swear, they began talking about you.

—

I hear your
voice blow in the breeze
your heartbeat
in the waves
that lap against my small boat
and I row homeward
