Like a flower
To remember me
I love women
like these beautiful sunsets
In my dreams
I love women
like a classic automobile
Of my dreams
I love wonen
like a glass of water
In the scorching heat
Of summer
To quench my thirst
I love women
Like a poem to inspire
Helps me rise
I love women
Like a verse from the bible
To enlighten my soul
I love women
But
I love you more
When I know
You are just for me

the simple knowledge that
you are
will nourish
the stony soul
wherein
my heart
takes tenuous
root

in whispered words
you sing along with
the song of my heart

unconcerned with tune
or harmony
a simple chorus
in unison

the reverb swells
as the presence
multiplies
you and i and love;
with Spirit
adding contrabass
more felt than heard

You ever wonder
why (with so many poems)
why we keep writing?

The deepest bruises
stay numb for the longest time;
self-preservation.
Romeo: Courage, man, the hurt cannot be deep.
Mercutio: No, 'tis not so deep as a well,
nor so wide as a church door,
but 'tis enough, 'twill serve.
"Romeo and Juliet", act 3, scene 1.

Mrs Timetable
Pink jelly beans
Kinda don't like your taste
Not sure what flavor
You're supposed to be
Maybe generic Barbie?
Please
Don't take this personal
Still very cute
Someone loves you
But
Apparently
I don't enjoy the taste of
Mystery
Hahaha
