On this
my journey
I’m present
to pain
of others
but not
from reality
I’ve noticed
that their
pain comes
mostly from
their avoidance
of it

Pension
Most of my friends
now live far away
except for the one
for whom I moved
closer to be near
he him that one
has known me since
college and I like
a pension is his
to keep to spend
and to enjoy throughout
the rest of his
and my life he
and I being both
besties and our retirement
Ages
Having acquired most
and experienced more
I am left
now to wonder
is this it
I’m done traveling
to distant places
exploring new cultures
learning new lives
I’ve had tragedies
and my triumphs
and now I
wonder if life
at this age
belongs to reminiscence
and why then
if that’s so
is life cruel
for the gaiety
that youth was
should never be
remembered just as
this now old
age back then
could never ever
have been imagined
life you should
not make one
age responsible to
ever even think
about the other
Love#347
Love is
as love
does and
never as
love wants
TheirsNotYours
The lesson
of my
life to
learn is
not love
but rather
that love
can sometimes
corrupt rather
than comfort
we have
free will
to choose
and some
people frequently
choose harm
love them
too those
their choices
but theirs
aren’t yours
yours to
choose is
whether or
not you
can love
them despite
those that
they make
and not
be yours
