And so we
Met and came
Together again not
Like before but
New exposed and
Naked no promises
Simply hope that
Each of us
Will be happy
That’s our blessing
To each other
Month: November 2020
ForTheOther (to Bean)
It’s odd this
This idea of
Rising from nothing
When things begin
It’s a firestorm
Ignited and fueled
By desire yearning
Fanned by winds
Of the newness
Of you your
Taste and touch
But when it’s
Over and we
Both lie in
The dusty ash
Of the other
When our landscapes
Lay barren exposed
And decimated maybe
Just maybe something
New sprouts a
Comfort knowing that
We’ve survived the
Wars of love
To be friends
Maybe something new
Quieter and better
Because we’ve learned
Who we are
For the other
Rather than ourselves
OnlyHere (to Isaac)
I used to
Run in the
Rain naked and
Now I watch
Those that do
With heavy sadness
Not because of
Their self expression
But because of
Mine mine lies
Here only here
It is in
The knowing the
Culpability that ones
Life regards another
That this one
Singular life means
Anything
Please America take
Us back from
Anarchy and hatred
And give us hope
That tomorrow will
Be better today
Thieves (to Bean)
Do you know
By now that
When I’m not
Thinking of anything
That that is
When thinking of
You sneaks in
Like when you
Sneak into my
Room and out
Of yours like
When you eat
From my plate
When I use
The restroom noticing
Upon my return
A Cheshire Cat
Smile on your
Face and less
On my plate
I guess we
Are both thieves
