Today is was
my older brother’s
birthday there hasn’t
been a single
day that I
haven’t missed him
he’d have been
sixty-eight had he
been given the
chance he’s missed
so much and
I have also
death is a
part of life
but the living
often shoulder the
burden of those
taken too early
rest in peace
my dearest friend
my best brother
see you soon

LongLast
I have finally
at long last
settled in or
maybe settled down
into a life
filled with clean
clothes and clean
things and clean
heart I have
at long last
simply found me
in the one
place I never
thought I would
here I am
at long last
Hear
I heard you call
from the other room
just as I sipped
it’s a habit you
have of calling me
just as I sip
or chew or eat
causing me to delay
and you to call
again thinking that I
don’t didn’t hear you
honey I always hear
you I never don’t
ever hear you because
I listen for you
like a child holding
up a sea shell
knowing that he will
hear sounds of sea
DanceDream
I dreamt of meeting
you before meeting you
as we haven’t yet
but it was you
I know it was
You were shyly timid
aware and cautiously kind
we talked and laughed
and didn’t know but
knew there was something
which drew and invited
us inch by inch
closer to each other
oh and there were
sparks like little lightning
bolts that leapt from
fingers to thigh to
hands that tickled us
and then the kiss
which you landed softly
upon my left earlobe
and then your smile
saying silently that maybe
I shouldn’t have but
yet I just did
such a delicate dance
like catching of butterflies
and keeping them ogling
at their tender beauty
ISee
I see
the world
through loves
blurry lens
I hope
and pray
that you
too do
but sadly
you probably
won’t and
me maybe
one day
I will
stumble across
someone just
as blind
as me
