I love love
I still dream
of love
and laughter so deep
it hurts
I dream of crying
in joy
and sadness
Together
In love
In all
And joy, of course
Most the time
But unafraid
Of love’s pain
As love’s price
Is high.
I’ll pay
Again and again
I love love
I love you
Whoever.
You.
Are.

​

Like water
There are many pools
of souls
on planet earth,
or thereabouts,
always recycling themselves.
Water evaporates,
We die.
Water gathers in clouds,
then falls back down to earth.
We gather on the other side,
then fall back down to earth.
Like water

​

Alas, I have grown old
Where are all my friends?
They were here a moment ago
Glowing with life and love
Striving and achieving
Sometimes failing, sometimes falling
But standing up again with purpose
And love prevailed
again and again
I miss them so
They are where I live
and I don’t know if I’ll ever
find my way back home

Please …
Show me the way
And let me lay down easy
Let me see them once again
Eyes to sparkling eyes
Riff to sparkling riff
Either here or there
I loved all my friends
Still do.

​Too Much Noise
Too much Ringing
Too much Chatter
Too much Clatter
Too much this
Too much that
Never Stops
Can’t take it.
Please stop.
Please.
I’m done.
I want out.
Too much noise
Too much ringing.
Too much Pain
Turn off the radio
Stop shouting
Turn on the Music
Please, Oh, Please
Get me out, out now
Outta here
 
Where to sir?

I.
Don’t.
Fucking.
Know.
 
 Fuck.

I wish you were here
I wish you were so close
I could smell your skin
But more importantly
be with you, tell everything,
and anything
or
nothing.
I miss you,
your laugh when I’m silly,
my love,
my companion,
my feel ok whenever partner.
Inside Love
is where we live.
Sometimes
unable to see out
Lost because
we’ve found each other.
And, now ...
I can’t wait
to meet you.

No tripping
No falling
No dropping
No slipping,
No breaking
No dripping
No stressing
No kvetching,
No cutting
No head butting,
No sugar
No fat
No salt
None o’ dat,
No crying
too much
Or laughing
too hard
Force feed
you meds
To compress
who you are,
‘Be Careful
When Old’
There should be
A sign
Especially when
Dancing
And Bonging,
And drinking
Our wine;~)-

​Humanity on Holiday
How happy, how joyful, how Merry
can we be while 
millions struggle 
to stay warm, to eat, 
facing a 
madman’s murderous missiles,
and those who abide by his rule.
We go on, while they shiver
We have coffee and breakfast in our robes
They left their robes behind
We sip our drinks by the fire and look at our tree
They scavenge for food and blankets 
and live underground, so far from free.
Their children cold and hungry,
while ours open their presents
and sip hot chocolate.
Humanity on Holiday 
How happy, how positive, how encouraged can we be while 
the Traitor still walks free,
lunching with Goebbels, 
and the black white motherfucker
who lost his shit
somewhere between
art 
and a small, dark place.
Humanity on Holiday
How happy, how satisfied,
how enriched can we feel while
white men come home alive,
And too many black men 
never come home again,
dispatched 
by Peacekeepers, 
trained to close their ears,
demand compliance while
beating a brother,
killing one after another 
Humanity on Holiday
How happy, how hopeful,
​how enlightened can we be
while mothers in tears,
are turned away and
hand their babies 
across the border, 
desperate to save them
from starvation, 
torture, 
rape 
and murder
and giving them 
a chance at salvation
a chance to survive.
