Change (to Eric)

Youth conjures thinking

Thinking conjures mind

Mind conjures action

And action conjures

Either change or

Something else waiting

For that change

Change is coming

LetgoDie

Do you not

Understand how hard

It is to

Choose nothing rather

Than something knowing

That the two

Of you won’t

Ever be what

You want and

Giving way to

What might be

Rather than clutching

To what isn’t

Let go die

Or start anew

Love

Love does love

Love also hurts

If upon ceasing

The absent love

Does not hurt

It wasn’t love

A mirage perhaps

Not an oasis

Maybe a cloudburst

Not a cyclone

Love leaves things

Different than before

If you haven’t

Changed then you

Simply haven’t loved

Shell

Lost I drift

Bumping into others

I have discovered

Comfort in myself

Absent of them

Alone and quiet

At long last

I can hear

The ocean again

In the shell

Against my ear

Knowing that life

Is in there

Just with me

EyesSmile (to Ivis)

It was three

Things that invited

Me to you

Your eyes your

Smile and your

Honesty yes by

What you said

But more by

The honesty of

Your smile and

Of your eyes

They speak louder

Than the words
