Hope.

Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -


And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -


I’ve heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet - never - in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me

My arteries turned
into overgrown tree limbs
when I first saw you.

a quick fix
the cure all
there are pills for everything:
heartburn, headaches, migraines, depression
anxiety, back aches, cramps, and bipolar

but is there a pill for a broken heart?

I'm not perfect
and you're a liar
but therein lies no
overlapping business.

What I see reaches much higher
and I am never worried.
I took a chance despite
what I knew
as did you.
A chance to put ourselves through
hell on Earth
for the heaven
we might not get to.

Misfortune
and cruel words
might feel as though
it was a waste.

But I never regret anything
and so I have no bad tastes
I hope you look for signs
and find your way
for misfortune in
the form of women
might not always work this way
but for better luck in love
for you I'll always pray.

Blessings
happiness
and your own
garden
are headed your way.
have faith.

it’s a **** good thing that I’ll never kiss you,
because I think that my heart
would jump out of my chest.

Your eyes remind me of oceans, yes
But that's too cheesy
Your eyes remind me of the night sky when theres only a few light thin clouds
That's still too cheesy
Your eyes remind me of winter sunsets
Still too cheesy
Your eyes remind me of the smell of Chinese food
Gross
Your eyes remind me of the vibrant colors of the partially white corn snakes
Weird
Your eyes remind me of why I don't give up
Ahh
Perfect
Not really poemy but needed to be said
