Waiting

The effortless ease of waiting for someone whose smile is worth looking up from the page for.

Waiting for you
Is effortless
When each thought
Is a sweet daydream

As you approach
I lift my eyes
From the last page
And delight
In the dissymmetry of
Your mischievous smile

A short, dark-eyed portrait of infatuation, written in forgiveness of its own excess.

Naming the uneasy, hopeful complexity of starting to trust someone new.

A short, unsparing poem about a confession delivered too late and too honestly.

A snow-dusted homecoming reimagined as the arrival of a new year's first love.
