sorrow so popular
getting all the reads
love patient and kind
never on the news feeds
lies shared a million fold
truth often ashamed to be told
hate contagious as sin
compassion sure needs a win

You speak of apologies
When your absence leaves a void within my days
I cannot meet the wants your heart so often craves
Yet thoughts of us persist in soft degrees

You say you're not the perfect one for me
And my love only exists in fairytales
But sorry, like a whisper in the shadow
Means little when you're all I long to see

You are the shining light in my soul
No other love can stir this deep within
You're the one, forever true love
In every heartbeat, it's you

In Love’s Sonnet, you're the verse I play
No other love can truly replicate

I gave her rings.
And within the jewelry boxes she places it.
I give her multiple cards of love.
Oh, she has a big selection.

I could give her expensive things of various things.
But to know her, is to enjoy her.
She so simple.

If I am blessed to be wealthy.
I don't if wealth could change us.
Or even her.
She so simple.

Just a rare quality about her.

Living to the full,

always searching for balance --


and finding myself.
