The Everyday You

I’m in love with the every day you
hair pulled back
and green tennis shoes
blue jeans and tee shirt
under your nails – still – the dirt
from the garden full of roses
in bloom –
I’m in love with the everyday you

Addicted for Life

Necessity

for survival beckons me

to gorge – unsufferable;

subservient to nature,

need to indulge – bitter, sweet.
