Poor men talk to God.
Rich men talk of wealth and fame.
Poets talk to ghosts.
The heart knows it’s right
The instant it sees a soul
Not through the eyes
It’s all about the vibes
Yes, A friend
A little one for friendship day
Happy friendship day to all at HP
Stay safe and happy
Lit lanterns
Lit up the lonely tree
The night knew its darkness
Was for all to see
For the lanterns, they knew
They lit what was to be seen
The tree
Forever, it knew

What river song must I learn
to understand the language
of your quiet waters?

If I do not
Stop writing
The Truth which
I wish to express
May well be more
Submerged..
Might I stop now
And allow the
Dimmed light to
Remain as glimmer..?
Or might a few
Words more
Serve to cleanse
What is already
Said...?

You
wrote a word in the sand
I
took the time
and
painted a picture holding your hand
red wine
comingled with memories
always rekindled

for
years
four
letters

we are still at it content

LOVE
Braid the broken strands ‘till it’s like they’re meant to be there,
hold yourself together like you never fell apart—
rip at all your seams ‘cause you hate feeling fragile,
rather be a broken bone than a spindly work of art.
