SoulFlow

One time with someone 
we fell asleep together
forehead touching forehead and
as he exhaled I
inhaled his very breath
and if someone had
been there in the
room and watching us
they would have witnessed
his soul flowing into
mine and kissing me
there deep inside there

Damnation

I’m not saying 
that breaking up
is like dying
but it is
in one aspect
When someone is
ready to go
they often stay
not for themselves
but for others
the kindest thing
that anyone can
ever do for
anyone else is
let them go
when they’re ready
don’t hang on
causing them to
that’s called damnation

NoneOne

All it ever 
takes is one
one for me
of nearly everything
to prompt prove
and to provide
just enough hope
for me to
continue to sift
one nugget one
wink one smile
it rarely ever
is the one
you know that
perfect forever one
but one has
always been better
than the nones

GoDon’tStay

Screaming from the hilltop 
outside of your cave
I am lonely here
does little except to
sheep who graze nearby
instead gather what’s left
and go into town
and say hello to others
for everyone at some
point has been on
their very own hilltops
and surrounded by sheep
for as connected as
we all are now
it exacerbates our loneliness

Nots

Letting go of one 
thing always makes room
for another whether it
be friend fruit or
foe accepting what is
even if broken bruised
or bankrupt only serves
them and never you
we can always have
most of almost anything
but to have more
requires each of us
to let go of
all of our nots
