Random Poetry for a Monday

I collect books of poetry. I usually choose those with inscriptions in the front.
Sometimes I choose one because of the author, usually someone you don't expect to be writing poetry.
This caused me to end up with a book of poetry by Leonard Nimoy, Warmed by Love.

Allow me to share a few with you. I like them. Whether they are technically good poetry, I cannot say.

Rocket Ships

Rocket ships
are exciting
But so are roses
on a birthday
Computers are exciting
but so is a sunset
and logic
will never replace
Love
Sometimes I wonder
where I belong
in the future
or
in the past
I guess I'm just
An old-fashioned
Spaceman

Love Does Happen

Love does happen
Like a touch
of grace

It falls
Into place
Where there used
to be
Empty space

When I hold your
face
in my hands
I ask
How did this happen
To me?
