(2014)
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
There seems to be a drought in my… but who knows if it is the cause or the result of the war raging within me
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
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
