When you kissed me, I lied.

I let you kiss me because I wanted someone to love me.  
I was selfish, I wanted to soothe my craving for attention, soft and kind love.

It’s because you’re warm and safe, I still do get the urge to trust you with love.
In fact you’re handsome while so insecure.

But I shouldn’t have kissed you, because I knew I didn’t want you but your aroma.
I chewed it and played with it to spare your feelings and to ebb my shame

but believe me, I’m happy to have made your acquaintance on that awful day that appeared on paper as perfect.
On the day when the last one I loved, introduced me to you
My poems have started taking sound of a prose?, not sure where it came from
There’s a secret in heaven
In the vines weaved through the overcast
Of a leafy canopy
Someone sleeps in the gathering
Of rain puddles and
Drips like the liquid
In an IV
They say,
Someday
We will be free
From our lost ideals
And speak the last words
We can muster
Someday
We will hear them floating in the
Particles of the wind
And become the stories
That the earth
Tells to the stars
Often unwell, she wrote
Often unwell is true
Endurance please and movies
Rest my point of view

Wait for it to come to me
Help my second son
Libraries in the New Year
Little way French nun

Q can cook creme brulee
Now almost as tall as me
Get Cam into sports
Watch him run break free

Plato wrote in dialogue
I can write it too
Shema Israel
Marc Cohn taxi Lu

    The best for last for you
At times the unusual
But revere the ordinary
Talk with friends at lunch
Take a nap in peace

Tragedy and Triumph
Wedding in Tel Aviv
Wanna get to Istanbul
Don't really wanna get to Greece

Still learning synchronicity
Every little thing she does is Magic
Wrapped around your finger
Sting and the Police

When they talk of the West
And wish to dominate
I have some yellow curry
And Thai Wai the Southeast

                  Bangkok!
Do you ever wonder about the wonders that are out there
did you bear witness to the grass dancing at dawn
have you seen deer giving birth
felt the rhythm of the earth
did you ever wonder what would happen if the wonders weren't there
or
are you like me and take these things for granted?

Sweet memories is all we have
Flashes of holding hands
Remembering the best of  kisses
Just for a moment young and yours
Time left us with this
And everything we missed in between
Untouched is our love
And sadly
Unfinished is our story
