PoetryToMe

Poetry is the language

Of the ancient and

Children minds free to

Wander dream and think

Poetry confuses those middle

Minds taught to follow

For poetry never explains

But simply quietly suggests

Where you might go

Maybeland

What is possible

Is almost always

Certainly never probable

That is what

Dreams are for

They carry us

Beyond the real

Beyond the now

Into a place

Called simply maybe

It is there

In that place

Let me live

There in maybeland

Where the possible

Becomes the probable

JustBookendsWe

At first I

Thought that we

We were just

Two knickknacks collected

On a whim

Just things from

Somewhere else placed

Here to remember

A bygone time

Obviously different yet

Strikingly similar we

Hold a place

One of memory

Until today when

Hands repositioned us

You over there

And me here

Closer than before

Complimenting each other

As we hold

The world between

Us as bookends

MyDearBoy#21

We must grow

Together and not

Apart and that

My dear boy

Is the essence

Of a relationship

Yesterday was filled

With sunshine and

Frivolity like I

Was sitting at

A cafe near

The Seine people

Watching while enjoying

A sparkling aperitif

It was you
