i was that lover

i was that lover

yet also the leaver

i stood by your side

before walking away

i was the scoundrel

who left his two children

i said yes and forever

but was unable to stay

Available at Amazon

there is a love

there is a love

which, quite simply

cannot be broken

this is the love

which yes and forever

will be softly spoken

there is a flower

which even in september

wishes to be open

this is the flower

which yes measure by measure

is a surefire lover’s token

ghost like black figures

ghost like black figures

with fluorescent silver outlines

as I reach the end

of my morning meditation

wherever you are

is wherever you are

with or without my being together

in ghost like black fluorescent silver

do you remember those boots

i don’t seem to have

a photograph

although the memory bank is deep

Available at Amazon

i remember you asked

i remember you asked

could you ask something of me

would i be able to meet you

after your summer school

to spend a weekend together

of course you said

you would fully understand

if i was busy

if i couldn’t get away

to be with you

it is today

it is today

this vision of you

with mountains and clouds

out in the ocean

swirling and dancing

alive with joy

as a gift of love

to the whole of society

it is today

that i begin

a new presence on instagram

with a retrospective

of my series

of an image of a woman

beside a poem

with inspired connections

it is today

that i think

of the first of october

when my life

will take another departure

on my journey

through education

whatever that means
