CloserStill

And we looked 
at art and
each other and
and had lunch
and talked about
life with each
other and laughed
and grew even
closer to each
other we’d always
been very close
but today after
yesterday tomorrow
looks better still
years time and
distance means nothing

HeartsCrack

My heart is full 
but that’s not where
its beauty is found
where its beauty lies
is in its cracks
for that is heartbreak
and only heartbreak can
give a patina to
and also strength to
a heart that’s loved

LovePresent

Love is a
fools pursuit it
makes one vulnerable
and it hurts
that is love
that is past
love that is
present does none
of those love
that is present
is simply there
absent of any
memory of any
love ever before

Center

It’s the center 
not the extreme
that brings comfort
like a pillow
the fringe is
simply decoration meant
to entice but
the center is
where one rests
his head is
the strongest part

UsuallyElse

Very few people 
actually love me
and that’s heartbreaking
for I have
loved so many
and been forgotten
by even more
so why even
love at all
in this world
we keep looking
looking looking looking
for something somebody
someone and somewhere
usually else just
how much looking
does one have
to do before
one eventually stops
this over looking
