me, you, this room, and an elephant or two.

Rainy day compilations

a little bit of nothing

you can't know

what you don't

trite but true --

you've never been

where I went

but someone like me

having someone like you

when little things

are big

and nothings

are everything

you are more

than you can know

to me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

filling the room with polka dot elephants

dancing around the room

with 300 pound gorillas

and polka dot elephants

I am very good at

filling the room

with words.

all of them but three.

you are very good

at not saying anything

and letting things be.

I heard and said too much

prior to opening your door.

you don't want to say

what you've never said before.

each time you stand

and watch me go

you wonder

is it the last?

neither of us

is quite ready

to completely shed

the past.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------my heart to keep

sacrificed on the altar

not once

but twice.

handed my heart over

like cheese

to mice.

but for the first time

I found someone

to whom I wish to listen.

discovered something

I never knew.

the one who loves you

will never

take your heart

away from you.

the one who says little, who gives away little..that is the one we want to engage...
