Overcoat

I do know who

And I know why

What I don’t know

Is where and when

Much like the fall

Knows that winter comes

But not knowing when

It readies itself by

Shedding summers last hurrah

As I too remove

The last summer romance

Donning my solace’s overcoat

Fireflies

Love is like a

Firefly that we capture

With the hearts net

And that unlike those

In the wild never

Stop flickering until at

Last we eventually do

But they are released

Back into the wild

Flickering again until caught

Illuminating someone else’s heart

Truth

There is only one

Thing in the world

Which can never be

Submerged or buried forever

It’s called the truth

It’s either offered freely

Or answered when asked

Or ferments and rots

When attempting to hide

Appearing like a rash

Or like erupting boils

Sometimes like tree stumps

Or potholes which halt

Even the deepest hope

The thing about truth

Is that it is

Like water sent to

Cleanse erode or crack

The best built walls

There

I have no regrets

Because there are no

Mistakes everything has its

Purpose whether good or

Bad everything only ever

Does one simple thing

Getting you from here

To there and absolutely

Everywhere else in between

BackFront

Some people want to

Keep you back there

Back there where the

Back is gone the

Only ones that can

See the back are

Those behind you and

Never those in front
