Cozy and tight
together
we sit.
Laughing quietly
knowing
bad
will never
exist.
To
mar our day
our week
our life.
No
we are pleased
to feel
this bliss.

Full Of Hate
October 2, 2026
The world is full of hate
Will it ever
Ever
Dissipate?
It festers, boils, multiplies
Spreading over
All sweet innocence
Kindness
Is
Denied.
My heart cries
Weeps for the world
So full of anger
Steeped
In
Hate.
Please take it
Make it be
Not
Of this world
Not for us, for you, nor me.

You Hold Me
September 30, 2026
You hold me
hold me close
I feel you warmth
your breath
breathing life
kindness
into the world
we live in.
I hold you
close
to feel that
loving caress
that
kiss
upon my lips.

Can’t We?
September 29, 2026
Can we be
like
we used to be
friends laughing
endlessly?
Can’t we?
Can we put aside
our anger
our differences
please.
Please
can’t we?
I know you care
I know
you’re more
than fair.
So what is wrong
with
being what
we used to be?
Can’t we?
Can we be
friends
lovers
gentle souls
giving all
we can.
Please
can’t we?

Come, Sit By Me
September 28, 2026
Come, sit by me
let’s talk
let’s speak about
our destinies.
Don’t let anything
be unsaid
for
together
we’ll make it happen.
We can see
our
dreams, our desires
come true.
No matter
what
others may think
say
have said.
We’ll do.

No One Told Me
September 25, 2026
No one told me
what I’d see
No one held me
giving security
No one showed me
told me
what life could really be
Only life itself
gave
that opportunity.

My Heart
September 24, 2026
Warm and quiet
my heart
does beat
beat
beat.
Not
to the tune
another plays
no
it thumps
to
its own beat.
It may
skip
slow
race.
As
my heart
feels
blood flowing
with
each beat.
Coming, going
beat
beat
beat.

Go
September 23, 2026
I hold you close
I can’t let you
go.
My heart races
there is
no ebb
no
flow.
My eyes
cry
they weep
they weep so.
No more
will I go
to
the edge.
No more
will I let you go
for
you’re all
I have.
No, I must not
not
let you go .

The Scope
September 22, 2026
The scope
of
what we’ve done
won’t be
forsaken.
We will take up
the slack
make strides to do
even better.
Cause that’s
who we are
who
we’ve been.
And
those that care
will
support us.
In
our work
our
lives
Everything.

The Breath Of My Soul
September 21, 2026
The breath of my soul
knows
each step you take
each word
you speak.
My heart knows
it beats
to
the pulse of yours.
Skipping a beat
when you smile
caress me.
My eyes see
love
so great
it can’t be contained
in this
my body.
You needn’t speak
a word
for
my ears, my eyes
my body
know
I love you
And
you, you take care
in
loving me.
