Sheila Moschen asked me to read 3 of my love poems for a Valentine Day’s Show on her KHOE radio program, Let Your Heart Sing. This 38-minute show (#56-R) aired on Monday and Tuesday this week at 1:00 and 7:00 pm, and will soon go into her archive. The last musical selection Sheila played was the beautiful love song, Longer, by Dan Fogelberg (at 33:05). My poems complete the show (at 35:34). They’re about a special relationship I shared with my sweetheart Sally Peden. Listen here on Google Drive or OneDrive.
CELEBRATING VALENTINE’S DAY WITH MUSIC AND POETRY
COMMITTED
a two-haiku poem
When the tide rolls in
bows of boats bump each other
tethered to the dock
With our ups and downs
we remain tied together
solid as a rock
~
This is a quiet love
One of simplicity and easiness
No complications here
It’s too late in life for that sort of thing
Just time to be best friends
~
Some people are stargazers
We were soul-gazers
Looking in each other’s eyes
Windows to the Soul
A Self-reflecting mirror
Drawing us nearer
Love … looking … at Love
