Shorties
Yearning for love
Burning with desire
I feel as if I were trapped in a mire
Groaning with disapproval
A never ending hunger
Nothing can satisfy
Omitting deaths cumber
Through all of life's ups and downs
I'll travel continuously around
Slowly donning my crown
For I am the king of the clowns
Burning with desire
I feel as if I were trapped in a mire
Groaning with disapproval
A never ending hunger
Nothing can satisfy
Omitting deaths cumber
Through all of life's ups and downs
I'll travel continuously around
Slowly donning my crown
For I am the king of the clowns

I’m glad that this keeps things short. It really keeps the images sharp. The last line there of describing the person as the king of clowns I think is very reflective of who we feel in the experience of love sometimes.

Dear Frankie,
I wish it were possible for me to have read these in April 2022. I am a compassionate witness to your pain and give you safe harbor,
Retrospectives are oh easy to make and are usually bull$hit excuses for non-action.
But, I am offering a commitment to be ever mindful of who I am in the company of.
Your spirit is present and your direction clearly visible.
It is my obligation to channel energy that transforms and heals.
I feel you near me and listen carefully.
