chrissy who
Our existences have to be on the same wavelength
To excite my heart like a photon
Absorbing the energy of your love.

I doubt
material wealth
means anything
in the afterlife
on the off chance
that I'm wrong
bury me
with my books
and my plastic owl.
Didn't expect to find
One of mine as the daily
Thank you
for the hearts and views.

Who are we to say
that a love is not to be?
That a love does not belong
and can never be set free?

Who are we to think
that a kind is not our people?
That a kind is far beneath us
and will never be as equal?

Who are we to feel
that a face can look unusual?
That a face must be a canvas
and be painted to be beautiful?

Who are we to judge?
To say love is prohibited?
To think below of others?  
To feel minds can be limited?

Living within this crumpling skin
leathering to the elements
all self delusions crease and crumble
becoming one with the old leather settee.
They say you are part of the furniture
long before your funeral
sinking in the folds, morphing into a couch potato.

Poets only become nourished
writing out poems
a poets life depends on it
starvation and hand to mouth
is never a lifestyle choice
you are born for it
like a Hobo riding trains.

Once I used to drink
with this girl who told me
we could live on an island
if I never touched her

she had this way with words

sit at the foot of my bed
she said, like a ghost

watching the boat in the cove
lose hope for its shadow

these days she hides
behind the shades
still wanting me to find her

somebody to love.
