Patience is the difference
between success and failure
oftentimes it’s the gap
between quitting and triumph
it’s the place of
promise and the wayside
of hope patience keeps
the sputtering stalling
dream alive and airborne
patience calms excitement down
gives pause and respite
to anxious reactions patience
fills the pockets on
one side of the
courageous whilst trust fills
the other balancing them

Desire
I’m not exactly sure
which comes first the
shiver or the touch
for a shiver only
occurs when the touch
is desired oh sure
goosebumps occur after but
the hope sets up
the touch just like
the listening sets up
the joke and hunger
sets up the eating
shivers happen after desire
Happy
And then just when
when I thought never
never again will I
I ever meet someone
someone came into my
my life and made
made my life different
different and better so
I let him and
and I was happy
happy again happy happy
Found
I finally understand now
after years of marching
that where I am
could have only been
found after after after
all those other things
had been found found
found and this place
that I have found
after having already found
so many other couldn’t
have even been imagined
had I not ever
not found the others
LvW
I think that what
I’m trying to say
is that why should
I anymore having tried
before I sit and
wonder if trying is
even worth the pain
of yet another disappointment
yet another failed expectation
just one more L
in the loss column
that maybe I should
get used to this
because this is better
than any more losses
