The 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.

Saturday, April 15th, 1978I can feel myself, I’ve grown beyond our love now.— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
I’m taller by far than I used to be
the world and all its fears no longer scares me
and I can feel myself running free
I’m no longer bound by love to be a leaner
I make my way by knowing need’s a bore
she wishes after what she’d like to have now
but my need is gone and she can’t hold me anymore
with patient hours I try to reconcile
the pain her need is causing more and more
I say I’d like to see her if it feels good
but her pain is driving her harder than before
then I think I don’t need to really see her
when all she wants is to have me as before
and our hours are filled with such painful struggle
that I wonder what I need the hassle for
I’m free and she can’t seem to understand it
I love her still but now its something more
she like to own me outright but she cannot
my love is mine to give, so unlike before…

Who could need words with Helen
skin to skin ... smile to smile
east to west ... we, wordlessly
pleased and pleasing
underneath our cultures
its all the same
touches and smiles need no names.
