JustRemember

Just remember this 
we all have
our own lives
as little or
as grand that
we might think
that they are
but for me
I feel very
lucky to have
as much of
you as I
do when I
do and how
I do when
I have you

Betrayal

And now 
and with
that and
now this
I can
say why
because before
when I
didn’t know
when or
where or
what I
certainly never
imagined whom

FallenLeaves

Now it’s November 
and as winter’s
chill sets in
and the days
turn more into
nights I’m reminded
I’m reminded of
whom and when
of where and
what of why
and they all
blow past me
like the significance
of fallen leaves
all having once
been summer’s dream
canopies as we
gazed through them
pretending and imagining
but like them
these do just
swirl and dance
and then go
to somewhere else

ThatMeThing

I’m no longer 
looking have already
found that thing
which hasn’t been
and it’s funny
when I recall
my own despair
I finally realized
that I myself
lacked this thing
and that I
then looked for
that very thing
always in others
thinking that maybe
just maybe but
never considering that
what that thing
was was me

You’rePerfect

I do think now 
no longer feeling it
that loneliness as an
idea stems from a
lack of happiness with
oneself and a desire
for another’s attention to
somehow solve the question
why aren’t I happy
Why do you think
that God is single
after all it’s said
that we’re all created
in Its very image
God is single because
God is perfect just
the way It is
and logic insists that
if one’s a reflection
of another then are
they then not both
and not in need
of another or of
anything else at all
