Acquaintance: "Brian, if you ever need anything, let me know, okay?"

Brian's thoughts: "Sure, but you only say that to boast that you're a kind person. Sure kind persons don't always have to act right away, but I can sure as hell see you not being there for me.
I've had a lot of people say something like this to me, but I only know I'd be stalling their time or bothering them if I actually did ask for a favor or assistance.
i have little kitten he just loves to grin
as i stroke his fur underneath his chin

he begins to purr as peaceful as can be
i can see him smile as he looks at me.

then he falls asleep while sat upon my knee
to his land of smiles with his life so free
i like to watch the sunset  across a sandy beach
setting very low like something you could reach.

painting such a picture that brings you peace of mind
troubles seems to cease and are left behind.

a little peace of heaven there in front of me
a lovely peace of nature for all the world to see
Her light travels into me
what gods arranged our intersection
I am the blood of myth
gathered tales that justify
more the seeking
than fruition
ignorant authors
casting our will into the heavens
we paint our stories in the skies
but as her light falls through my flesh
she whispers
“I can never be possessed”
you
the pages of your soul
turn tattered and dusty
in the epic that bleeds
through the vessel that contains
only you
if we could get together and make the world unite
the future would be different life would be so bright.
we could love each other the way its meant to be
the world would be a better place with a life so free.

hand in hand together across the human race
and the world we live in would be a better place
a land of only peace with a life so free
the world would come together the way its meant to be
fill the world with love let the fighting cease
fill the world with happiness with nothing else but peace
let us live together let us all unite
make the world a happy place make the future bright.

let us live as one with lots of love to share
share it with the world each and everywhere.
the world be so happy a better place to live
with peace for evermore with only love to give
2 drops at dawn,
To wake me up,
And mixed right in,
My coffee cup

2 drops for lunch,
To keep the haze,
As we each go,
Our separate ways

2 drops at dusk,
In my evening snack,
To chase away,
My heart attack

2 drops at night,
The serum's thick,
I'll take the fog,
Over being sick
A simple 4x4 verse alternating rhyme scheme.  Nothing overly clever, just a place for me to store my morose.
If only I knew you then,
Maybe I wouldn't have made so many mistakes,
Maybe I'd make even more,
Maybe I'd never have left,
If only it was you, at my door

Maybe I would have been much greater,
Maybe I'd have been worse off,
Maybe I'd have known true love,
Or maybe I'd have grown too soft

Maybe life would be so different,
Maybe it would just be the same,
Maybe I'd have never lost myself,
If only I'd known your name

Maybe this exercise is failing,
Maybe I should accept what's here,
'Maybe' doesn't change a thing,
And I'm happy, now that you're near
I just wanted to share this Valentine's poem I wrote for my girlfriend, Amy.  It truly is nice to be with someone stable, that balances my sad moments with nights of wonderful snuggling, and appreciates how hard I try to make her smile.  Happy late Valentine's Day, Hello Poetry!!
