And just when
Being walked to
The gallows a
Light breaks clouds
And shines truth
It stayed execution
The generosity that
Love is triumphs
Adversity immediacy temptation
I’ve always had
Faith in love
You did too
Come back into
My arms now
A free man
Month: October 2020
Memories (to boo)
Like hand me
Downs that are
Thread bare and
Worn it’s clear
To me that
You’ve outgrown me
Now like a
Pair of skates
Or your dog
I wait patiently
In the mud
Room for that
One simple chance
That we might
Play and bark
And ooo and
Ahh again to
At last feel
The wind and
Smell the breezes
But alas we
Won’t you won’t
And neither will
I because something
Prettier newer less
Clunky has caught
Your eye but
Don’t forget where
You put me
There in your
Oh so very
Young cherished memories
MorningMyBoo (to boo)
And yet you
Sleep far away
From me though
We’re touching now
In these wee
Hours I wonder
If I’m next
To you as
You are to
Me on some
Adventure or discovery
Some journey or
Quest fighting dragons
Or wooing princesses
Or what wait
One eye open
You say I
Know what you’re
Thinking you don’t
I reply I
Know what I’m
Thinking and then
And there we
Are dreaming awake
About each other
Morning my boo
OurSong (to boo)
And then when
The record us
Suddenly hits a
Scratch we pick
Up the needle
And start again
We do this
Often this starting
Over but each
Time we expect
A skip we
Realize suddenly it’s
Not there because
Our song is
Never the same
Because neither are
We are we
One day soon
I promise that
We’ll get through
Our songs together
Silence (to boo)
And now the
Chasm of silence
Has widened deepened
Silence has crawled
In like a
Dry airy dust
Storm quieting laughter
Silence like gathering
Billowing clouds far
West on the
Horizon silence like
A sheet of
Ice in November
Silence like a
Broken door bell
You may still
Be here but
I’ll never know
