You’ve placed these boxes carefully
   almost ruthlessly in my path
Must I sidestep them?
   Simply tear into them?
Or draw myself a heavy breath, pause
   and rest here among them?
Are they just packages full of our long ago
   or perhaps flush with a future?
I'm afraid to look inside and equally afraid to ask...

it's amazing
to wake up a sea view
and drink too much eaux de vie
and dance to an old jazz
and love you way too much

The UnKnown
She was alone,
Judged by all.
Put others before herself.
Still she waited,
Unnoticed.
Alone.
She hated herself,
For everything she loved,
She hated,
And worst of all she hurt.
Not others but herself.
The pain growing ever more prominent in her
She was not enough,
Not for herself,
Nor anyone else.

You may feel it,
though not often true.
You are useless,
Lost,
And alone.
But take my hand,
And I will pull you from this depression.
Together we can start over.
Form a new life,
New thoughts and actions,
Then soon enough the hate you hold for yourself,
will be abolished.
By your new found happiness.

The Question
Just out of curiosity:
How do you picture your perfect life?


The Reply
I gave this a lot of thought last night
I guess in the most basic sense:

everyone I love is near me
If so, check that box next to "Perfect."  And in the most basic sense, then, I'm very happy for you...
