nothing would make me happier
than to hold your hand for the rest of our lives
grow old with you
and watch our grandchildren play under
the magnolia trees in the summer sun.

The tears I shed for you, all one by one,
Are more precious than moon or sun.
I hope they come alive at Judgment Day,
So they will intercede, before it's done.

You
and I hope that every time
your mouth moves
to make the sound
of the first letter of her name

somewhere

deep down

in the back of your head

you hear my name instead

I
kept
dead flowers
in a vase

they
reminded me
of you

And with a sincere smile,
she looked to the stars
knowing the future was worthwhile,
even, with a thousand scars.

Before
either of us
ever said
a word,
i saw you
from across
the room
& knew
i was meant
to love you.
I have the plot
The main characters
The villain

a perfect story
of love
and fear
and faith

yet every time I try to write it
I can not

so the perfect story
remains hidden

in a mind
forever to be hidden

You are my unsent message.
The cursor blinking rhythmically,
With my heartbeat,
Waiting,
For me to hit send.
But I am not ready,
And I’m not sure if I ever will be
So I left it like that.
Unsent. Unseen. Unread.
“I miss you.”

we do not write poetry
we write mirrors
which are held up
to curious faces
who read
looking for their
own reflections
