OnceLoved…

I live 
my life
by this
simple truth
Once loved
Always loved
for love
to me
is the
only thing
when given
freely can
ever really
be returned

WeMiHi’76

I remember 
all of
you just
as I
do me
a bunch
of kids
and goofballs
the difference
now though
isn’t that
we aren’t
yet still
but many
of you
have those
now of
your own
except me
instead I
get to
remember you

Simpleland

Having lost 
so often
having rebuilt
as many
I’ve learned
to live
down here
in Simpleland
up there
belongs only
to clouds
and those
foolish enough
to believe
that bigger
and more
is better

TicksClicks&Such

Ticks clicks
and such
these moments
these seconds
often missed
and mistakened
mean more
to me
than any
grand gesture
for they
not those
are my
twinkles seen
notes heard
sighs felt
loves kept

KnewThen

A brief 
click one
small tick
a glance
then moments
later smile
and this
is when
the fall
knew summer
was gone
as we
did too
