If I was in California
I would drive along the coast

Tidal pools in Monterrey
Those I love the most

Poetry and religion
Distinct yet still related

Poetry and politics
Dangerously debated

Poetry and sadness
Ah! my dear, too true

But morning is made for gladness
The birds still sing for you.
The poems now just for fun
Words in search of mates

Poe in Baltimore
Poe-try, not debates

Songs for broken-hearted
Songs for twilight blue

Back to where I started
With a memory of you.
If human mind had pre editing facility
We could have avoided all the conflicts of the past and the present.

You were
My sigh of relief
And now
You’re gone
And I’m sitting here
Gasping for air
