One of my favorite
Things about loving is
The knowing and understanding
Lovers have a shorthand
They way they touch
Look at each other
The variety of kisses
Always say much more
Than words ever could
So why are poets
Who use words simply
Always the best lovers
Easy because they’re used
To seeing their worlds
And telling of such
With their dancing fingers
One of the problems
With society is renaming
Behaviors with cute names
Grindr date for hookups
Ghosting for rude disrespect
Fake for the liars
And flake is crazy
When we cutsify bad
Behaviors we condone them
Let’s all remind ourselves
That shitty is shitty
And stop accepting it
I can’t remember lyrics
But I can hum
With the best of
Them I’ve always hummed
In fact I could
Whistle before I talked
There’s something to be
Said there I’ve always
Loved long before I
Understood and that tunes
Are the hearts song
The difference between selfishness
And selflessness is simple
The first is survival
And the second living
When one is selfish
One thinks of oneself
When one is selfless
One only thinks others
Put it another way
Love occurs inside selflessness
And is expressed outwardly
Greed occurs inside selfishness
And is expressed inwardly
To live love out
Age creaks youth bounces
And the middle resists
Running away from one
And into the other
The pain of life
Reminding me reminding me
I’m not done yet
Now in my Autumn
When youths leaves turn
Comes my brightest colors
And then and only
Then I’ll be gone
