Truce?

We're at war, you and me.
The damage has been severe.
We hate the enemy!
We've forgotten why.
Both sides are even.
Can we call a truce?
When there's a truce, the two sides stop attacking each other, catch their breath, and try to work out a peace deal.

in the air I can feel
you

feel your heart
I can feel all of the
Vibrations of your soul

I’m overjoyed
by all of your sounds
of love

even in the air I can feel you
all of the vibrations of your soul

I'm almost 71 years old.
I'm lost in a changing world.
I still have hope for progeny.
I still believe in True Love,
Santa Claus and happy endings.
I don't think I'll ever really die.

she doesn't know
what it means
all she knows
is that she
is going to
die

"cancer"

she hears the word
over and over
again
she asks her mom
what it means
there is no reply

"cancer"

she's eight years old
she'll never go to college
never kiss anyone
never
never
never

"cancer"

she hates hearing
that word that means
nothing
she cries
why will no one tell her
what it means?

watching you draw
all the beautiful things you saw
creating worlds
with the movement of your wrist
drawing the lips you've kissed
i see my eyes form
pencil creating a storm
fingers grasping
holding it tightly
lips parting slightly
creating my curls
dark golden locks in swirls
you look up and me and smile
and i want to look at you a while
fingers entwined
as the masterpiece is signed
