Love (to boo and bean)

Love does haunt

It hurts and

Is joyous it

Bleeds and weeps

It’s sometimes bitter

And sometimes sweet

But love is

Constant either aching

Or joyful you

Can always count

On love from

Me to you

Stickman

All these faces

And texts haunt

Me as though

I were chatting

With a magazine

Whatever happened to

Laughter across espresso

Or winks across

Crowded bars have

We but become

Two dimensional in

A three dimensional

World let me

Hear you and

Feel you and

Touch you to

Know you or

Are you no

Better than stickman

Ghosts

It is often

The ghost of

What once was

That haunts us

Not the who

Is right now

It’s very difficult

To see someone

As they are

Rather than what

They were so

Long ago when

You first met

Memory tends to

Favor the past

GoneGone

At last finally

When I close

My eyes it’s

Simply black and

Peaceful no more

Smiling memories or

Laughter I’m alone

With my empty

Mind no longer

Thinking about you

For now not

Only are you

Gone but you’re

Gone from me

Boo (to boo)

And he was

Black and young

And I was

White and old

But somewhere we

Found harmony an

Understanding that despite

Differences we complimented

Each other like

Piano keys and

There in sharps

And flats we

Made music heard

Only by us

I will never

Forget you boo
