Stars

Last night
I looked up into the stars
And matched one with a reason
why I love you

I was doing great

until I ran out of stars.

Diamond

Diamond

She once said,
"I'm made of steel."
"I never get tired."
"I never cry."

But she did.
She got hurt, bent, and burned.

She stood up
Once again
This time, with a smile.

Because to tell you the truth
I'm made of diamond.
**Unbendable
Unbreakable.

Scars

Everyone have scars that,
they don't want to talk about,
Mine?
they are just on my body,
as well as in my head...

Suit

Let me cast
my heart
like a net
of desire
upon the body
of your soul.

Let us
struggle,
gently,
within it.

Let us
writhe
and turn
as one.

Let us
be caught
together.

Sweetest
*******.

Marriage

Tried it
for 30 years.

Not bad,
but not
for me.

Now I agree with
Katherine Hepburn
who never married:

"I prefer
to live nearby
and visit often."

The simplest
solution so often
the most elegant.

Except you

I can't see anything
I'm blind to everything
Except you.

A Gift

Poems are messages in bottles
tossed into a sea
that does not care
if they be found or not.

Thank you for finding this one.

You can keep the bottle.
