How do you explain
That feeling
Butterflies
Passion
When she looks into your eyes
Cuddling
Kissing
Hugging
The caress
Call late at night
Or early in the morning
Can’t wait
To hear her voice
Because you love her
Always
once more, the mystery of race
      as before, the beauty of her face
             endurance, encounter, embrace
Beyond this
   I have nothing to declare
   only:  an honest person
   always plays fair
Not for me
  I decline--
  that which you offer
  should not be mine.
Details lost,
No prints mentioned,
But sin is judged by the intention,
So maybe his spirit will repent,
It could have been an accident,
A suicide,
A cry for help,
Maybe it was someone else……
Too long ago,
Too much to tell,
The only witness,
The Chelsea hotel,
A single room,
Not too fancy,
Good enough for Sid and Nancy

I just watched "Sad Vacation".  My God, it is already 40 years?   I know, the story is old, and in retrospect, the music ******.  But we were so young and pretty.
how does a bird fly
if he cant appreciate his own wings
and realize that those wings
can take him places
that he has never been before
to see the mountain tops
above the orange horizon sky
into the deep blue nothing above
to see new beauties that have gone unseen
but if the bird can never see
that the only thing that can lift him are his wings
then he will never truly learn to fly
and if he never learns what his wings can do
then how will he ever become
truly himself
I wrote this poem with the personal feeling of how I cannot possibly be loved by anyone else until I love myself, first. How can I possibly be truly connected with someone if I never have the self esteem to believe them when they say "I love you". I realize this and I wanted to show it in a poem, and i decided that a bird is the best way to symbolize that.
This seat
I'm happy to vacate
he's a better person
I won't let him wait.
A long walk
Thru life
Waiting
To meet up with your love
Thought it would not happen
Time passed
Then you realized
You must take that chance
You reached out
Waited
Waited
Waited
Then she replied
From that moment
It was fate
Two hearts
Waiting
To come together
Once reconnected
Will never be torn apart
I don't need to look beyond
right now I have too much on!
