New Year is around the corner!

"New Years are a Chance for a Beginning"
New years are a chance for a beginning
Even when there hasn't been an end.
Wheels turn in an interminable bend,
Yet, marked in one spot,
seem to wobble spinning
Each year we hope to do a little better
Although we know that really nothing's changed.
Reason thinks that everything's arranged,
So we must dream if we would fate unfetter.

"Dar's dingDong "
In the waking minutes of a new year
a fantasy draws near fulfillment
-and is interrupted.
Tonight
I have sat at your feet
and longed, longed to touch you.
I have smiled teasingly into your eyes
and noticed that I held your gaze
for moments that suspended time.
I have taken your hands,
kissed your lips,
wondered about you infinitel
-and at this hour
I am left
wishing desperately
for more time with you,
because now
I can only imagine
what might have happenedand whether
I will touch you again.
Love you once again.
