Who but I
Yes, a good question
Or who but you
Yes, equally so
To sidestep
To foxtrot
To line dance
To hide away
Who but I
And where but here
O yes
Keep those questions coming
To intensify
To mystify
To be courageous
In the absence of love
Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by

Denial Of Ownership
Is there always impatience lurking
Always another occupation to go to
Is their always a form of recrimination
Always some other blame to lay
Always another occupation to go to
Is their always a form of recrimination
Always some other blame to lay

Self Ownership
This is what I hoped for
This is what I wished for
Outside of meditation
This is what I craved for
Or at least one of the things
I hoped this room would bring peace
I wished this room would bring joy
Outside of meditation
I craved for this room in which to crave
To be at least one, of those many things
This is what I wished for
Outside of meditation
This is what I craved for
Or at least one of the things
I hoped this room would bring peace
I wished this room would bring joy
Outside of meditation
I craved for this room in which to crave
To be at least one, of those many things

Shared Ownership
If you came here
Or if someone else came here
To this room I have created
Would you, or they, look at the photographs
Would you, or they, read the books
Would you, or they, listen to the music
Would you, or they, sit around this table
If I offered you coffee
Or if I offered someone else coffee
In this room I have created
Would you, or they, make polite conversation
Would you, or they, shed their light, lightly
Would you, or they, smile, smile infectiously
Would you, or they, talk of our love, lovingly
Or if someone else came here
To this room I have created
Would you, or they, look at the photographs
Would you, or they, read the books
Would you, or they, listen to the music
Would you, or they, sit around this table
If I offered you coffee
Or if I offered someone else coffee
In this room I have created
Would you, or they, make polite conversation
Would you, or they, shed their light, lightly
Would you, or they, smile, smile infectiously
Would you, or they, talk of our love, lovingly

Ownership
I ought to be honest
Own up
To what I know about beauty
I ought to be clear
Own up, to myself
About where I discovered beauty
I ought to be sure
Find a certainty
Of feelings and time
I ought to be confident
Find a realisation
Of moments in time
Own up
To what I know about beauty
I ought to be clear
Own up, to myself
About where I discovered beauty
I ought to be sure
Find a certainty
Of feelings and time
I ought to be confident
Find a realisation
Of moments in time
