Worth the Wait

How inadequate it would be
for me to say
you have been well worth the wait.
Human beings feel this
loneliness bone-deep, a great hunger
a yearning to feel
the greatest experience, the right
mating of body and heart.

Fall And Rise

Listen carefully,
the fall and rise struggling
to be heard.
This song was familiar,
full of loneliness
an old ballad imprisoned
in his ghost.
