You have left
Yet I remain
Like the tide
Leaves the cliff
You have taken
Parts of me
There with you
Parts that I
No longer have
They’re yours now
To be deposited
Some where else
To make something
New for you

Friendship (to Jay)
In the wood
Sat a prince
Thinking just thinking
Thinking about what
Was before him
Entering the wood
Came a man
Drawn by fire
Why so forlorn
He did ask
The young prince
There’s much to
Do he said
And you think
By sitting thinking
That it will
Be accomplished the
Man then asked
I don’t know
The young prince
Replied I do
The man said
Let us be
Friends let me
And not you
Slay the dragons
Let you be
The prince that
Will be king
That is friendship
Doing the one
Thing that will
Elevate the other
Arcade
Life is an
Arcade game where
With each step
And every level
You learn one
More thing and
Those many things
Result in prizes
I guess today
I finally won
The best prize
Of your heart
Lucky lucky me
Wishes (to Jay)
I wish that
I wish that
I were there
Now not later
I wish that
I wish that
You weren’t lonely
By my being
There with you
God how I
Wish that wishes
Always came true
I wish that
I wish that
I could wish
For more wishes
So that you
Were always happy
I wish that
I wish that
Was my wish
And that wish
Would come true
GoodDog
I am much
Like a dog
I enjoy being
Teased and played
With petted and
Called patted and
Reassured invited onto
The couch bathed
And preened and
Fed and like
A dog I
Enjoy being by
Your side on
Wooden trails in
Snow and rainy
Afternoons but what
I like most
Is simply this
The one that
You turn to
For comfort when
You are sad
That’s my place
Next to your
Warm hearts hearth
