I climb into bed, close my eyes, and you are there again.
Remembered soft breath sounds and warm body heat
Comfort me and recall times long past.
A card a day kept the loneliness at bay
When demons fought in your body and mind.
Cuffed weekend delights and devilishness,
Zoo visits where you chose to be a King,
And in choosing received the millenium ring,
A kitten and a house of strangers bound by a code,
Laying side by side and thinking of the color orange,
Attacks by the blue stuffed serpent with felt tongue,
Death masks, canasta and bridge,
Using your intellect to create your safe place,
Knowing the meaning of a Japanese Orchid,
Parties, graduation, and steak tartar,
Rings of blue and green and sanctified promises,
A brother’s secret and a brothers protection,
Dessert walks to cool pools, waterfalls,
Climbing rocks and knowing the mountain,
Burro rides for cheap tacos,
Driving into a town of friends and stars,
Ancient lizard and a house of birds,
First house of elephant grey and darkest teal,
Fire solidifies passage to a professional,
New business, new design, and no windows,
Miracle of a mew from new born kittens,
Temperate mist from a deck tub of water,
Relaxing alone, or splashing with friends,
Led to the east by hands traditional,
Tobacco house and perfumed barns,
Ancient oak, still ponds, a land of trees,
Fresh picked tomatoes and sourdough bread,
Bitter cold, ice storms and frozen water,
You challenging pools of ice and skipping stones,
Cat following your lead, laughing,
From home to apartment and closer friends,
Games of cards and games of people,
A stripping surprise to mark times passage,
Pride of design on barrier island,
A secret cottage in the woods,
Hope and Home and spiritual nest,
Morning deer and late night raccoons,
Red door open to future dreams,
Eclipse on a dark beach, midnight in the garden,
Thanksgiving, family and crown roast,
Christmas, New Year, watching the entertainer, you,
Loving you not for what contentment you gave me,
Loving you for what you stood for and what you are,
The energy we shared directly or indirectly,
The battles we fought together and apart,
Good times, bad times, marking our time together,
Branding memories into the library of the mind.
Cats guarding the night I drift into sleep,
And pray that remembrance will follow me,
Atop a crystal obelisk, dancing with Fire and Water.
