Once you ask for advice
And get no answer
It is silent guidance
Filtered by experience

"I'm an open book"
She says

Written in
code.

If the icebergs are melting away
How come my mother-in-law
Is still intact?

My grandpa
             Words he gave
                            To me once upon a full moon
“Son” he said
            “When you go into this life”
“Remember, that love is a language “
             “So find, my son, find someone”
                     “Who speaks your language “
      “So you don’t have to translate your soul”
                                   Hmmm.

We fell in love by chance,
We stay in love by choice.

history
never repeats
but human nature
does
