Corner

Me I’m
just going
to stay
over here
in the
corner having
once been
placed here
and now
realizing that
I belong

Quiet

No longer 
willing to
bay into
the abyss
to measure
its depth
I’ll simply
sit on
its rim
and contemplate
my own
for both
are likely
as deep
yet only
one will
ever answer

ToBe

To be 
now wanted
is far
less important
than once
being had
for having
been is
always better
than hoping
to be
someone’s later

Starlight

If but
each star
in the
sky is
one soul
don’t worry
about burning
brightly here
for there
you do
have and
forever will
instead here
be quiet
it’s time
to rest

ForItWill

When I think 
of loving again
at my age
I know that
having loved before
I must get
this one right
for it will
be for better
or for worse
the last love
for it will
likely be the
love to which
I whisper my
last breath being
the death of
me and love
