"Thanks, I think."

I
Can't tell you that
Your mind is the sexiest part of you
For fear that you'd become offended.
But
To me,
It's the greatest compliment
I could ever think to have for someone.
And even though there's this back and forth,
It's give and take.
And in my mind, it all works out:
I and your sexy mind,
Happily ever after.

Utah Valley

Nothing could be more beautiful now
Than these mountains,
Green with mosses and grasses and lush undergrowth,
Rock crevices illuminated in the golden glow of summer's dusk.
The clouds are blue-grey after the rain,
And the smell of fresh new beginnings is the residual humidity.
Rainbow hues beautify the southern skies as the sun
Slowly drops out of sight in the West.
My heart is happy here.

Contemplation in drizzle

Running
With you in the rain
is
Infinitely better than
Standing
Without you in the sun.
