My Dear Poet Jun 2021

A Lily never lies
unlike a neighbouring plant
where shrub and grub
are given a rub
like lavender to enchant
A Lily never lies
like your eyes
even if you tried
you can’t recant
you send a scent
and as soon as it’s sent
like lavender you replant

A familiar fragrance

Every flower has a name
till you became the fragrance
that named every flower
I smell

Speak life

I’m not one
to speak for death
for death
could speak for itself
I speak only for life
for life and wealth
is the breadth of breath
and the well
of heart and health

Here’s to life and happiness

You don’t know

“You don’t know how good you got it”,
she said.

“You don’t know how good I make it”,
I reply.

good in part, still falls apart

though making most
of what you got

you still wonder why

***** Truths

What the world needs are flowers that grow everytime a lie is spoken
so a man and woman can look for truth
away from beautiful scented things
and possibly find it

Sometimes truths are not only found among beautiful things

My Dear Poet Jun 2021

You never asked me to watch you fall off the bridge

You asked me what my name was
You asked if we could dance
You asked if you could have my number
You asked me to call
You asked me to pick you up
You asked me to hold you
You asked me to wipe away your tears
You asked me to just speak nice things
You asked me to stop fixing things

I never asked for anything
And now I’m asking why

Breaking Bones

In death there is no fear
neither is there in pain
compared to such a treachery
than putting one to open shame
many a thing they may endure
but poke at the pride engrained
you’ll bind and break their spirit
when speaking evil of their name
