SOMETIMES

Sometimes I wonder what I’m doing here,

where I go or come from; it’s peculiar

for no one asks – or gives a damn

but I care. Ask me and I’ll tell you

how I love each rock and tree

and each smile I see on every child

reminds me (regardless of the sun and stars)

most of all there’s you. You who

haunts my days my nights, lying

awake I think of you. I must not speak

I dare not move. For fear my love

may smother you: kindness I do not crave

keep me alive keep me depraved…

while you are there, there is life

fulfill my desires and I would die.

A poem I love...... and means a lot to me, right now!

Comes the Dawn

“After a while you learn the subtle difference

Between holding a hand and chaining a soul

And you learn love does not mean leaning

And company does not mean security

And you learn kisses are not contracts

And presents are not promises

And you begin to accept your defeats with your head held high, and your eyes open

With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child

And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrows ground

Is too uncertain for plans

And futures have a way of falling down mid-flight

After a while you learn even sunshine ... burns if you get too much

So you plant your own garden

And you decorate your own soul

Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers

And you learn you really can endure

That you really have worth

And you learn and learn...

With every goodbye,

You learn.”
