Desire

I have noticed
something about desire
it only happens
when it’s mirrored
it might be
missed or longed
for but only
ever occurs reflected
yet when absorbed
and given back
willfully and wantonly
when unwrapped and
set to air
it freely explodes
like a snowball
tossed at chest
hit by face
glee gaily erupting
surprised by mistake

UnderBridge

I have learned in
my long life that
both love and water
often flow together under
the bridge and that
both if given time
are continually caught by
the young at heart
and too let them
go there again for
others there to find

Damnation

I’m not saying 
that breaking up
is like dying
but it is
in one aspect
When someone is
ready to go
they often stay
not for themselves
but for others
the kindest thing
that anyone can
ever do for
anyone else is
let them go
when they’re ready
don’t hang on
causing them to
that’s called damnation

NoneOne

All it ever 
takes is one
one for me
of nearly everything
to prompt prove
and to provide
just enough hope
for me to
continue to sift
one nugget one
wink one smile
it rarely ever
is the one
you know that
perfect forever one
but one has
always been better
than the nones

GoDon’tStay

Screaming from the hilltop 
outside of your cave
I am lonely here
does little except to
sheep who graze nearby
instead gather what’s left
and go into town
and say hello to others
for everyone at some
point has been on
their very own hilltops
and surrounded by sheep
for as connected as
we all are now
it exacerbates our loneliness
