Still

The memory of you is a wounded bird.

It beats its wings, struggling against the woven cage of my heart.

You were a cloud that covered the moon.

When you left I saw how bright the night could truly be.

Compass

Every now and again, I feel my bones shift towards you.

Likes a compass desperate to point home.

Vague

I had a cool dream last night, but can't remember it.

I think death will be like that.

wifey

the way to a man's heart was his stomach

the sternum is much harder to pierce

A Graceful Ending

When that velvet curtain falls on our time together, I won't mourn the memories.

I'll bow my head as the audience cheers, a performance imprinted in their memory.

What then?

It's on odd silver lined

days like today

when I can hardly hold

two mercurial thoughts,

never mind pen

two wild sentences,

that I truly appreciate

the perceptiveness

of a simple

poetic

challenge

to bare

something

that everyone

(in sitting)

painfully

regrets.

Sometimes,

we find

the cage

vacant.

The world is big

This poem is as insignificant as you.

In the end, it will be forgotten.

Oh my little dove, pour out, scream, cry,

But why would you be so certain you deserve to die?

The Wisdom I Absorb

Being a sage is more work than reward.

But good Lord, being stupid is worse.
