It’s almost here and
I’m already there and
It’s strange this and
I’m just waiting and
It’s feeling different and
I’m getting excited and
It’s about time and
I’m on my way
Month: November 2022
Diamonds
Remember my friends
You have to
Shovel a lot
Of coal to
Either find a
Or be found
As a diamond
TinySoSoTiny
How can I
Being so small
As to fit
On a pin
Think myself big
I’m a dot
A blemish even
Just a blink
My mind thinks
That I’m bigger
Than I am
It’s my heart
That knows though
That you are
Face
It’s odd
This reflection
Reflecting back
I see
A face
That’s not
My face
I remember
My face
That you
Saw then
But this
This face
No one
Ever sees
My youth
Is gone
Wrinkles replaced
By time
CashedOut
Where’s my forever gone
I blinked it disappeared
Lost in a lifetime
Of love and relationships
Given to others sometimes
As easily as withdrawing
Cash from an ATM
While a few others
A long term investment
That I watched evaporate
During a mid-life crash
And now as I
Stare into my what’s
Left in my piggy
Bank of affection I
Carefully count my pennies
