(2014)
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I wish you had told me that on the good days kissing you would make me think that I knew what happiness was and on the bad days
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
