Where’s a moment that I can say’s not ours— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
that I might run free of love.
To feel the sun, all mine again.
To be in love with life.
Lord, I care for you,
and, yes, even love you
but its not enough anymore.
Its just not enough if it becomes a limit.
Outside my front door and your love
lies the rest of the world
and I can hear it calling to me.
What’s there in houses and bills to compare
with the shock of these last months;
the lovers, the pain, and the poetry
and…most of all, you and I finding our ways.
Love’s no better than a house
if it hides you from something
instead of giving you rest before you go out again
to press life to you
as if it were the most important thing….

Tuesday, April 11th, 1978She’s so good I want to shout about it.— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
all I can hear is my heart telling me about it
I told her I don’t want to loose what we’ve become
that I want to win at work and have both … all.
and she smiled, like me.
So we’re done takin chances
and on solider ground at the same time
with each other.

Friday, April 14th, 1978The morning light came shining in when she arrived— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
in a white dress she came to breakfast
into a room so filled with light
that the moments felt like music
and the feelings were so clear and bright
she posed before the window
and I caressed her face with light
and shuttered the finer moments
and we smiled at the camera’s plight
these crystal and fire moments
the way the apartment glowed with light
the looks her brown eyes gave me
and the word her smooth hands said
its strange that I’ve come here again
to where love could knock me down
but I don’t care, I just love life
and, for the moment, I can see nothing
but eyes so brown.
