These are some poems I've written over the years. The dates are publish dates as I'm unsure of when I wrote them.

I Love Love

1/4/2023

 
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

1/3/2023

 
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

Cold Comfort

1/2/2023

 
Sitting in my
cold comfort
alone.
All in place
as it’s been
Comfortable
appearing warm but
no
No love in a warm place
can only be cold
Comfort can be had in familiarity
Flowing easily in pat routine
But comfort without love
is cold comfort indeed

Friends Prayer

1/1/2023

 
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.
