Me? Why me?
I will never understand unconditional love,
and that fact wounds me.
It will always cause me to shake and topple when the idea,
even for a second,
pops into my head,
that someone who has spent so much time with me,
stupid, greedy, worthless, terrible, me,
could still sit down at the end of the day,
with the thought,
"Hey, I love that person."
And maybe,
maybe that still means I have growing to do.
I hope there's a day where,
when I see the child in the mirror,
I don't scream ...

sudden illness and a nurse
Sudden illness and a nurse
it is Saturday, the air has a whiff of spring
and I was too tired to go to the bakery
to get my, one a week Danish Pastry
It was a week when my wife ended up in
hospital, I knew what was wrong with her
but I was overruled by the health doctor
In the evening, as I was having a glass of wine
and a forbidden cigarette on the balcony
prepared for a calm evening, a knock on
the door of the unwanted.
A couple related to my wife came to visit
her at the hospital (I think my wife rang)

BECAUSE IT'S YOURS
YES!
Because
you asked me to,
I will think about it;
Because I've never
seen one before
I will take a look.
Because I've had
an aversion, yes
I will touch it.
Because it is yours
I will hold it.
Because it's your
new pet snake I
will go against my
better judgment and
handle it.......
"HEY!
"I think I'm beginning.
to like snakes; especially yours."

Moment in time. Rare selection. Part 1
Skating between the tall bulbous trees, happily greeted by leaves.
Spring will be soon.
Empty plastic bag stopping momentarily,fluid momentum. Rests it's complex head,on grass.
So still,empty bag ripples like waves,caressed by rain,coming of age.
Moments have collapsed and still empty bag, comfortable,is approached by a solitary magpie.
Moved by sorrow, empty bag slides and glides, like on an icing rink.
I look down.
I look back up.
Empty bag passess to the other side.

Rising Beyond the Storm
In the quiet, I stand tall, observant,
Watching the play of shadows and light.
Amazed not by grandeur but resilience,
As I navigate through day and night.
You, a storm, sought to destroy,
Preaching love while sowing despair.
True love uplifts, it doesn’t shatter,
A truth I’ve learned, as I breathe fresh air.
From one to another, you leap, leaving scars,
Spinning tales that the wind erases.
But the pattern reveals more about you,
A mirror to your own broken places.
In gratitude, I find my power,
Escaping the shadows, into the sun...

REMEMBERING WHEN
WHEN you turn your back on me
I will still see your face;
WHEN you say it's over
I'll remember when it began.
WHEN you say no
I'll remember the first yes;
WHEN you tell me to go
I'll remember when you said welcome.
WHEN you withdrawn your love
I'll remember when you gave it;
WHEN you frown at me
I'll remember your beautiful smile.
WHEN you are silent,
I'll hear your voice;
WHEN you want to take a break
I'll still want and wait on you.
WHEN you recommitted
I never doubted you would; ...

THE GIVER and A TAKER
The give and take in love should reach a mean
whereby the two would be equally disbursed,
so givers' hearts would never suffer lean,
cold hungry hours without love reimbursed.
And those who take would never reach the stage
of ravenous and selfish, one-way traits.
Such balance would create a better age,
if give and take maintained their equal weights.
But somehow this could never balance out,
for givers give beyond the gifts they bear;
in turn, must feed on crumbs, for without doubt;
the hungry takers take beyond their share. ...

friends and boys
Friends and boys
Three happy boys sat on a wooden fence
laugh ting at the world, one of them had no shoes
but that was of no worry now
they were active boys who knew where the bananas
were kept in this town and other
useful things
they were so very white, this is because the sun
stays away in narrow streets of poverty
In a few months, they would be thirteen, and many
things would change where they lived, they would
be seen as adults, but they had sworn to keep
together for all time.
they knew what they had to do to...

PLEASE FORGIVE ME
YES
it hurt and
surprised me;
set me back for
awhile locking me
into a stubborn self-pity,
poor me attitude..
THEN
upon honest, reflective.
and soul searching
I realized my subtle
part in creating the issue.
I'm no saint but I realized
my part and ask for your
forgiveness.
NO!
I'm not asking you to forget
but to love me in spite of my
tendency to put my foot
in my mouth.
YES I am working on
forgiving myself....
I need OUR help.

In Whispered Time
Who we once where echos in whispered time
Reflections second guessing who we are
After all, knowing of mountains we climb
Each sanctuary on summits afar
Of regrets contemplated in the dark
Our shadows searching for daylight to find
Solus seeking solas when thoughts embark
Gray painted memories color the mind
Does love betray, or do We just grow old?
This introspective canvas of hindsight
Indifference is heart felt as we fold
Clarity of darkness becomes contrite
Can the...

perspective vs communication
half-truths and misunderstandings,
full thoughts and hurt feelings.
fear of rejection and living in my ego,
standing in your pride and burying your pain.
did you feel my implications?
did I hear your hurt?
did you see my need for recognition?
did I think about your exclusion?
did you know I was looking for your attention?
did I know you thought I was playing games?
did my silence tell you I didn't want to see you and you weren't good enough?
did yours tell me you didn't want me and I wasn't worth...
