Writing

I write to understand

Thoughts have no form

They swirl and spin

Dodge coalesce and dissolve

Words are my landfall

Where sirens and storms

Come to a stop

When after I read

Now it makes sense

I can breathe again

FloodWaters

I’m going to be

Quiet peaceful and calm

Said the water to

The sea I’ve done

As you have asked

And touched the land

I don’t like it

It’s hard and cold

Always in the way

And life runs away

From me home I’m

Wishing to go where

At least I’m free

Miscast

Just once I’d like

What the movies show

Or greeting cards say

And the fairytales promise

But always seems to

Forget its own lines

And stealing the show

Leaving me to improvise

And play the fool

Both

I do understand Autumn

I don’t understand Fall

I enjoy the colors

But not their result

I love the hope

But never the despair

I await the invitation

But then not always

Why does love too

Seem to always be

A double edged sword

Cutting in all directions

Once making its mark

The other its scar

ToYouWhoReadMe

I don’t know who

You are but only

Where you are and

Knowing that allows me

To kinda know you

Just a little bit

Know this I see

When you read me

And know this too

Even though we don’t

Know each other you

Know a very very

Special part of me

So whomever you are

In this big world

You are my friend
