We Two

We two

Lost in space
Searching for a connection
A chance
A wish
A whisper 
Mobile and amiss
Cosmos collides

We two

Found each other 
One and one
Fingers intwined
Orbiting the universe together
Crossing the great divide

We two

30 Years

Thirty years ago
I said yes
You said yes
At least I thought 
You did
Once 
Twice
Thrice no more

A fresh love embraces
Does the future bring
A lasting feeling
Longer than ever before
Roses
Roses
At my bedroom door
A new love forevermore

Abyss

Preoccupation
Contemplation
rumination
meditation
come to pass
results
follow

I've fallen off track
Much too long to get back on

my down period
let down
a down turn
slow turn around

"When I need help, I get it."

Self talk
I need to push on

Caught in the abyss of my nothingness

9/11

Thousands of souls 
Released
I remember

Trio of Poems

Sister O’ Sister            
Why do you glare?      
Sister O’ Sister         
Is it just a stare?        

Sister O’ Sister
Friends we could be
Sister O’ Sister
Lovely you and lovely me



Saving the dragon
It’s the beast that barks and bites
Yet still warm and cuddly
Can you really tame a dragon?
I know, I’ve tried
Shakespeare
Socrates
Saint Saul
Have given it a try

Do they know how slighted I feel?



Another lost soul
Never to be returned
Be freed of your suffering
In your unending bliss
A day now lasts for ever
Wherever you have gone
Forever you’ll be missed
I’ve come to grips
God allows suicide
Yet my heart still breaks
It doesn’t have to end like this

For those left behind
Amidst your unending pain
Question for your knowledge
Choose awareness of    -joy
                                    -peace
                                    -love

Jack 'Da Hat

Jack my friend
You were there
With a hug and a smile
And if lucky for me
A kiss on the cheek

You crooned like no other
With the sound of your song
My heart overflowed
Basking in your glow
I was whole again

Cruising in your Rolls
You are on your way
No chance to say goodbye
At least you left me
With a Milky Way
