Oh hey look
There’s a a
A well damn
It’s kinda something
Else or else
It’s gotta be
Something else entirely
Why do we
Insist that anything
Ever be something
It’s usually that
Which kills it
Living up to
Things ends dreams
Category: Affection
Label
Things often exist long
Before someone calls them
Anything these things go
About doing but only
Be when someone say
Hey look at that
Calling something a name
Never makes it so
It makes it recognizable
Should it happen again
Before that it’s still
Confession
After almost a year
Of back and forth
Of steeplechase and jockeying
We finally did meet
And drank from each
Others cup feeling warmth
I had even before
You took your time
We laugh about it
I’m your very first
You’re not my last
But where we are
Is a comfortable place
I often wonder why
It is always hardest
To tell the truth
When two hearts are
NotYouYeahYou
It wasn’t like I
Thought that it’d be
Much less than fanfare
More like gaining weight
Rather than it thundering
It just quietly called
A hey you there
Not you yeah you
Want to be mine
And finally finally after
The fear of not
Of maybe never forever
You picked me to
Be on your team
Leaf
I knew a leaf
Once a magnificent leaf
I watched him bud
And yawn and shiver
On my favorite tree
He whistled in spring
And sunned in summer
He took great pride
In keeping raindrops off
Of hiding children beneath
But then Autumn came
And he grew tired
He lost his looks
And his boyish verve
One day while walking
I heard him ask
What’s happening to me
I looked up saying
It’s time to go
But you’ll be back
In the hearts of
Those who remember you
