The lion, the fawn and the elephants

I know of

A lion, who really is

a nervous cub

And then a fawn

whose false detachment

belies her care

Both are happy

when the other is around

But the lion is timid

and the fawn is proud

to ever admit so

There is an elephant

A real star whom

everyone knows of

But has yet seen

up close

Maybe one day

The fawn might

meet him and

the lion will

take heart

The fawn knows

another elephant

Her strong mate

who takes the wheel

when it matters

Maybe one day

the lion might

meet her and

the fawn will

take note

But maybe one day

The lion and the fawn

will be honest

And take charge

like elephants would

And maybe that day

is the start of

happily ever after

For two hearts

meant to be.

Summer 08

My first summer came
Without me noticing
and it evaporated
without a trace
as free as can be

It all seemed so far now
Yellow dunes and naked skies
A star-sprinkled night
Wonderment and friends
All but a memory

I thought I’d come back
And start my journey
But I was still dazed
by the jubilation
as fleeting as it was potent

What happened
In the space that followed
I can’t quite recall
We seem to build
Our own cocoons

Lazy days and nonchalant nights
As fickle as the vagaries
of the summer
I can see now
That I’m not the only one
You don’t really matter
Till someone really loves you

And you know
Autumn is full of promise
But I have never known
Another summer
