LoversDogs

Oh how the nights

Are long a time

For lovers and dogs

This time dawn time

Is my absolute favorite

When both lovers and

Dogs stir one getting

Coffee and the other

Love sometimes I think

That one would prefer

To be the other

CreateYourWorld

Oh how I wish

That we lived in

A perfect world a

World filled with happiness

And joy and peace

But we simply don’t

Rather we live in

A world of despair

Of heartbreak and heartache

Of loneliness and abandonment

Our real job therefore

Is as simple as

That single beach child

Creating a world with

Shovels buckets and sand

WhatIMissMost

Know what I miss

What I miss most

Now please don’t laugh

Because this thing that

I miss is personal

What I miss most

Is your breathing specifically

Your breathing as it

Changes from awake to

Sleeping for you see

In that precise moment

When in and out

Changes to aaah mmmm

I know that then

You are in the

Arms of dream angels

Mommy!

It is truly amazing

How something as simple

As a cold can

Reduce even the mightiest

The confident and articulate

Into nothing more than

A mewing sniffing toddler

Crawling under the covers

And asking for mommy

This is what I

Think when they say

Even the old will

Turn into young again

MeaningWhat

There is nothing

In this world

That is meaningless

We assign meaning

Or less meaning

Or no meaning

To things that

We do and

Say for the

Sole purpose of

Denying our responsibility

Everything that we

Do or say

Is our responsibility

And to take

A cavalier approach

By assigning anything

As meaningless points

The spotlight on

You and your

Pervasive abject selfishness
