In the soft glow of your sorrow,
where the sun fades, and shadows follow,
I see the tender ache in your verse,
each line a whisper, a silent curse.
“Seems Endless,” you write, and the moon listens,
reflecting the tears that your soul glistens.
In the night’s embrace, you break, you bend,
hoping the darkness would never end.
In Missed Connection, your heart speaks loud,
a love lost, yet covered by a shroud.
“I would trade my life for another day,”
for a smile that once chased your clouds away.
Guilt weighs heavy in your heart’s core,
a stain that no tears can restore.
But your words are rich, like wine aged deep,
capturing the pain that makes us weep.
In The Cost, you share the price of love,
how dreams shatter, pushed and shoved.
Yet in your heart, you still hope, still give,
for in your sorrow, we all learn to live.
You say it’s Too Late to turn back time,
yet in your regret, there’s beauty sublime.
To let go of love, to feel that sting,
a silent price that time cannot bring.
Love’s Altruism, you so plainly say,
is not in promises, but in the day-to-day.
To give with no return, to let love flow,
a lesson in grace that we all should know.
Jess, in every word you breathe,
there’s a truth that we all believe.
Your pain is poetry, your sorrow a song,
in the melody of life where we all belong.

Dogs who are so loyal and giving,
deserve no less than this;
As they depart for heaven's gate,
with a final good dog fuss
and a tearful, loving kiss.
Holding tightly to their paw,
till their eyes softly close,
while their gentle, peaceful spirit soars,
but, continues living within
that broken heart of yours.
This is where their pain ends,
and where your sorrow begins.
Yet, they will be looking down
from the beautiful stars
over the rainbow bridge.
We know that all good dogs go to heaven,
to realms beyond this earthly plane,
to a paradise where they run free,
in a land of boundless joy,
where fusses and play never end.
But, good dogs will never forget you,
they will be waiting so patiently,
for that wonderful moment
when you will join them,
and call out their name.
They'll come running so quickly,
their tail wagging incredibly fast
as they eagerly lick your face,
overjoyed to be reunited
with their forever friend at last.

Thank you for all of the cuddles you gave me, when I looked after you when your mummy and daddy were at work.
I’m going to miss you Jessica Wabbit

1. I did conspire to love you.
2. The moon was happy with us.
3. Baudrillard’s concept of “Object Fetishism” is more relevant than Marx’s.
4. Thank you.
5. Trees are closer to heaven than the angels. (I know, you already know that, but I like the line).
6. You have the most beautiful sorrowful eyes.
7. The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens. (RILKE 1912)
8. Locomotives fall in love going in opposite directions.
9. Certain earthquakes do not like themselves.
10. The more one contemplates the less one lives; the more one accepts recognizing himself in the dominant images of need, the less one understands ones’ own existence and ones’ own desires. (Debord 1967)
11. I did plot to love you.
12. The black crow on the wire is not me.
13. Umbrellas can be opened inside. (Only black; counter intuitive, I know).
14. Your touch; my body remembers softly.
15. I did love you.
16. Clocks sometimes stop for no reason.
17. Even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that contains a desire or its reverse, a fear…Everything conceals something else.
(CALVINO 1972)
18 Sometimes letters sent, never arrive.
19. Only you ever made me blush.
20. In the end, everything is just a dream.
21. This poem will maximize your interval times.
22. Love is ambiguous, at best a “Contamination”, from the Latin *** tangere. “leaving a tactile print.”
23. I will let you go.
24. I will publish this poem
25. I will always love you.
Sincerely Mr. Leibow

I dreamt of a
glistening
burning
radiant
Sun
A
gold crayon
sunflower
fire on the stove
I feel the
heat
warmth
hotness
Of the sun against my skin
I’m
dancing
leaping
spinning
Across the soft ground
Flowers blooming around me
But then I fall
and wake
from my dream
and
deep sleep
I wake up to see the
pounding
endless
crystal - clear
Rain
An ocean of
sorrow
despair
misery
A single raindrop
The thunder is
roaring
booming
whopping
Outside
A storm swirling with everlasting rain and thunder
The misty sky so
hazy
foggy
cloudy
The rain shower continues

Not a goddess,
More.
Not a fighter,
More.
Beyond a friend,
More.
Not just beautiful,
More.
Loving and,
More.
Sweetness and,
More.
When the time has come,
And the day is done,
Then all will see,
That she,
Is something,
More.

Side by side
Or Miles Apart
Sisters
Will always be
Connected by the heart

The Air hung tremulous
Waiting with curious expectation
Her mind gliding with Tidepool Dreams
Waves caress the sand - playful.
Teasing.
She listens
To the song of the Sea
The laughing foam becoming giggling mist
The ***** seagull's cry with false grandeur
The weary Wind sighs with a breeze
And Her. In solitude.
Waiting,
Waiting.

we would cry ourselves to sleep in each other's arms
and wake up to a dark sunrise,
counting tear drop stains on our pillows

i know i don't see when you cry
but i know that you do
i know you want to die
and sometimes i do too
i know i don't see the cuts that you make
but i know that they're there
i know your smiles are fake
and that you have so much to fear
i want to reach out to you
and tell you "you're not alone"
i want to help you get through
-run the demons out of your home
you've got to know
i'm just as bad
with scars i do not show
and others making me sad
i've cried myself to sleep
every night for years
while trying not to cut too deep
i drown my sorrow with tears
i know it's stupid to say
but i do love both of you
i want you to be okay
and i believe in you
all these words i'm giving to you
i wish one day to hear
i just wish that you knew
just how much i care.
