Public places
now empty spaces
free of all familiar faces

But there is an upside
a turn of the tide
away from environmental suicide

Shifting towards clean
Mother Earth more serene
thriving more than I’ve ever seen
Inspired on a walk during the corona crisis

He barks, chained to post
His masters are inside, too
Chained in their own way

Where once
There was laughter
Silence is deafening
waking up is
always so hard
just like falling asleep
but I sleep with
sleeping pills and
I wonder just why
why aren't there
some waking pills?

Hi
Years ago
We stayed up till
3 am talking,
And today
I don’t even know
How to say hi,
Love is

the only thing

known

to never

bite

until

it's

dead

Gomer LePoet...
"Protect her eyes"
She was blind
"Protect her hears"
She was deaf
"Protect her words"
She was mute
"Protect our little girl from the world"
Blind and deaf she staggered
When the world ripped the tape from her mouth
She spoke so innocently
When the world took her ear plugs out
She heard things unknown
When the world stole her blind fold
She saw things evil and good
She couldn't defend herself
The world took advantage of this
It broke her

Your now
is not your forever
but
forever
is composed of nows;
Stuck in yet another loop.
Night sits on my chest
Squeezes poems out of me
And grinds my poor soul
