Just how long
is one’s forever
when so much
ever has already
and what can
one even promise
that hasn’t already
been proven just
how many more
of the what’s
and when’s remain
do we make
things anew or
do we use
an eraser and
desperately try to
rub out mistakes
in order to
change the answers

Dreams
Dreams don’t happen
they sprout and
spread and bloom
once gained their
blossoms are gathered
into beautiful bouquets
tied with ribbons
given to others
but first seed
a wish for
that and then
Fight
Do I
don’t I
I’m scales
of justice
weighing hope
on one
tray expectancy
on the
other disappointment
and each
suitor steps
forward for
his weigh-in
it’s gotta
be a
fair fight
after all
Gates
I don’t think
that the Universe
always opens windows
after closing doors
what I think
that it does
is unlock the
gateways that we
have to find
it’s still up
to us as
to whether or
not we do
Beach
I don’t swim
but rather dip
or maybe wade
in the chaos
sure of footing
retreat I will
free from waves
that start far
offshore and take
their drama out
on those unaware
