Poor (to Mary)

Poor means

Poor it

Doesn’t mean

Broken nor

Does it

Mean ignorant

Or lazy

Or unlucky

Or dirtier

Or even

Less fortunate

So many

Of us

Have so

Much that

We forget

What we

Have why

Not give

Those forgotten

Things away

Not to

Make room

For more

But to

Raise the

Poor up

From the

Very bottom

Of life

Said (to Bean)

Sometimes the

Most painful

Memories and

Fears take

Years to

Expose buried

And hidden

Often best

Left to

Decompose we

Sat in

A park

Naked and

Drilled down

And while

Together the

Pain was

Gone but

Now alone

My exposure

Is beginning

To throb

Did I

Say too

Much did

You I’ve

Always thought

That the

More we

Say the

Stronger we

Are then

Why do

I still

Feel like

Crying today

I do

Know why

It’s the

Frostbite from

The truth

BlissfulSilence (to Bean)

Napping he’s

Far away

He could

Be in

A boat

Off to

Sea or

On a

Mountain top

No closer

To me

I guess

This is

What you

Become the

Blissful silence

Of love

Happiness (to Bean)

Impatient I

Await like

A child

Upstairs on

Christmas morn

Or the

Family dog

At the

Gate or

Even as

Cream for

Your coffee

Yet I

Don’t know

Which is

Sweeter the

Hope of

Happiness or

The memories

It brings

Joys (to Bean)

And if

You’re lucky

You find

A little

Piece of

Heaven on

Earth an

Orchid a

Skipping stone

Your laughter

Bean it’s

These small

Things that

Reminds me

That the

Joys of

Paradise indeed

Are around

Me every

Single day
