More of my older stuff I thought I would bring over. While poetry is not particularly me forte....it definitely can be both cathartic and soul cleansing.
Lost
and I was here
and we talked.
We laughed,
we shared
and most of all...
I remembered.
A long time ago
when I was young,
and he was young
we were together.
He got me and I got him
until it was gone.
I don't know why
can't even really remember when
But he did.
He hurt and I didn't.
Not sure why or even how
it just was no more.
Now he is here
and we talked,
but only for a moment
Then he was gone....
and I hurt and he didn't.
Not sure why or even how
it just was no more.
Was it me? Or maybe him?
Was it time or circumstance?
Could we have been together again?
We will never know.
I just know.....
I lost a friend.

Me
and who I am
but I am very sure
you don't
You think my smile
is happiness
when it really
just masks my pain
You think I am strong
but I am not
and the days
they crush me
one by one
You think my words
are clever
but they are
just words
slipping from my mouth
with no particular
direction
You think my tears
are but a myth
and never touch my face
but deep inside
they drown my heart
and flood my very soul
You think that I am
who I show the world
my life an open book
but you don't know
the inner me
the one who hides
so well
You think you know me
and who I am
but I am very sure....
you don't!

Much Better Than Me
I look at his little legs
so small
with the swollen knees
which cross with every
assisted step he takes
I see the smile
always the smile
that ignores life's pains
and welcomes
each new experience
They say his brain
doesn't understand
can't learn like us
and will never be
like yours and mine
But I watch him
laugh at Spongebob
See him
gently pet the dog
Feel his
little arms
hug my neck
And feel his
childish lips
kiss my cheek
I would say
he understands
and he has learned
far more than most
for he grasps
the important things
in life
He knows
how to
laugh and love
and show gentleness
to all living things
So I really think
that makes him
much better than....
me!
