Always

All I can

Promise you my

Young friend is

Nothing more than

Me to simply

Be your shadow

Even at night

Just close your

Eyes and I’m

Right with you

Have no fear

Because I’m here

Life

Loving someone is

The hardest thing

To do but

When you love

You live and

The rest of

The time you

Are simply dying

WeCallLove

I have finally

Learned that my

Heart never breaks

Like a movie

Or train ticket

It is punched

Over and over

And over again

Now full of

Holes incapable of

Containing anything it’s

Become a sieve

From which my

Light now shines

Attracting even more

Funny this thing

We call love

AfterBefore

This morning’s sky

Has cleared like

That upturned look

And sweet slight

Smile through tears

After we knew

We must part

As we sat

Sitting and breaking

And saying nothing

Because post truth

Nothing else is

Really ever heard

At least not

In the same

Way as before

ThisDay

The sky is

A work in-progress

Blue canvas spattered

Gray chaotic and

Lacking the definition

Of anything finished

It’s a torrent

Of cloudy rumors

Swirling about uncertain

Of its truth

Hazy like Pittsburgh

When steel mills

Billowed noxious smoke

Covering everything everyone

In light soot

Oh these mornings

Make everything turn

Away roll over

Trying to forget

That this day

Ever really started
