I have a friend
that carries his dog
everywhere and when they
get where they’re going
he sets him down
Curious I inquired quietly
can’t walk can he
Oh no he can
I just don’t want
him to run away
How many of us
carry around others for
simply the same reason
Month: June 2023
Hope
Hope is the only
thing that I can’t
live without any hope
about any thing carries
me higher and farther
than even their promises
for promises to most
are meant to be
whereas hope is here
now and not later
when they are already
gone
Start
The early morning starts
with windows of far
off downtown buildings drowsily
blinking like your eyes
do upon rolling over
seeing me smiling at
you as you inch
closer to me reaching
for my coffee cup
ignoring me completely as
I quickly snap shut
my arms around you
like vines of Ivy
trapping you in dawns
very early love embrace
LetGo
And as the
leaf said to
the tree let
me go for
I have an
adventure to attend
to so will
I let you
go for you
are not a
leaf but an
adventurer ready to
Ache
My heart aches
knowing that things
can be better
aching isn’t enough
I can ache
all day long
things never better
what does the
soul say about
anguish oh right
pay no mind
to what the
brain says for
it is devious
only ever listen
to the soul
for it knows
