IdeaFamily

I know now 
what family means
it is not
the relationship born
but rather chosen
it’s all wrong
this silly idea
that we’ve got
to tolerate others
to pretend to
make believe affection
family is who
you choose a
family did coddle
teach and show
but the moment
that you started
deciding anything you
began to choose
whom over what
this idea family
meant to you

SayIt

Despite what society 
tries teaching us
it’s never too
early to say
I love you
whereas it is
frequently too late

4,000

And with this 
just as with
that what started
as an idea
has become something
else entirely this
has become that
which I have
long dreamed about
and now that
this is here
I wish that
I could thank
all those who
gave me their
moments and minutes
for isn’t that
all that there
really is anyway

There’sOne

There is 
one feeling
that all
creatures understand
to learn
this listen
to children
laugh or
watch dogs
wag or
taste that
one long
awaited favorite
dish this
one simplest
emotion of
all is
just joy
