There are some days
when you simply shine
like river rocks paving
a cold mountain stream
and then there are
others when you’re frequently
overlooked like dirty
snow piled onto corners
frozen in place avoided
and one day disappear
as though never even
there I wonder why
for am I not
the same I go
out me every day
every day the same
I guess people are
fickle never knowing what
they want if anything
if ever any day

Sex&Love
Why is sex sought
but love is found
When things are sought
they do get found
but what is found
is usually far less
than what was expected
When things blossom naturally
organically when things
are noticed stumbled across
then the one seeking
is hardly ever the
one who eventually finds
Candle
I’m not a boomerang
or even a canyon
nor even return postage
I don’t share myself
with others hoping for
any kind of return
What goes out stays
out like a candle
that once brightened those
closest to it that
led others to its
light and even those
farthest away might see
its flicker and think
There is something else
besides me in darkness
EyesSmiles
It’s always been
about the eyes
and the smiles
The eyes show
that one is
thinking and the
smiles show that
one is understanding
Despite what anyone
thinks whether they
agree or not
the eyes pull
something skyward and
the smile says
I am here
TooJustTooToo
I think that I’m
too different too different
than most too different
that I become impossible
I think that I’m
better off alone alone
just with me me
and my thoughts thoughts
that carry me beyond
my own impossibility to
a place of comfort
where I am and
can think too differently
differently than almost everyone
everyone except me naturally
