Love in Other Forms

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Perhaps not with words,
but with the way I look at you--
with the way my spirit glows when you are near,
with an extra tight embrace,
with an excuse to touch you,
with the excitement of seeing you,
with your laugh that catalyzes a smile,
and with a kiss that doesn't escape a memory.
Perhaps I don't say it enough,
but I love you.

Sonar

Emitting love and light

To a vast world of hollows.

The energy beams from inside,

Searching from soul to soul,

But returns without an answer.

I seek you,

Nameless one,

To recognize myself in another.

But even in disappointment,

There is beauty and oneness in nature.
