My Dear Poet Dec 2021
one more poem
if I may try
just one
more
before I lay
down
and die
for I have cried
some silly words
to rhyme, recite
rewrite
the absurd
I’ve barely been able
to live with myself
let alone
with my thoughts
and no one else
I’ve wrestled
and fought
most of life in my mind
now I empty myself
of my final line
one more written
last one read
so you can bury me now
alone
inside my head
My Dear Poet Dec 2021
Your crooked smile and sinister lips
make it hard for me to fix this kiss
My Dear Poet Dec 2021
People with big hearts
are often bleeding on the floor
when found

‘Beautiful’ is so big
it often weighs them down.

People like you and I
should help carry beautiful hearts
around

hold them over our shoulder
and let the beautiful abound

Soon enough people will see
you’re  bleeding ‘Beautiful’

and help you too
off the ground
My Dear Poet Dec 2021
A blind woman gave birth
to the most beautiful girl
on earth

She could feel her heart beat
but could never see her face

She could touch her hand
but never saw her
eyes of grace

She could smell her skin
but never seen
her smiling

a beautiful blind woman bore
the most beautiful woman on earth
who saw her mother more

than just with eyes and all their worth
My Dear Poet Dec 2021
I don’t know where it’s been
I just know where it got

I don’t know where it is
I just know where it’s not

I don’t know how or why
I just know where is what
My Dear Poet Dec 2021
It takes only one true kiss
to erase the lies tattooed on your lips
My Dear Poet Dec 2021
“Pick one”
She pointed at her freckles

“Choose one”
I pointed to the stars
