I love all good poems,
and how they make me
feel whole but deboned,
de~parted,
sometimes cleansed
sometimes *****,
sometimes ashamed,
occasionally fried,
occasionally enlived,
often all of these,
simultaneously

I love how mine please you,
breaking the knots of anonymity,
unleashing the little white package
strings of connection, and, when yours,
make me guffaw, or even  a better, person-age,
when we weep deep in our  recesses where the
just-beneath-the-surface emotes, are pricked and
brought to the surface, for the first time, or the last of time,
exposed, curated, healed, leaving but a tiny sore, that lingers
on the body's surfaces,where all things.are etched that
are needy for a reminding of the when,
and here, right there, is the where,

but your loving of likes somehow
dissatisfying, like a kiss, perfunctory, skullduggery
or dis genuine, a hit and a move on,which is why,
I treasure your comments, long or short,
insightful or delightful, critical or critique(e),
just a tender heart of appreciation, a snuggle
from the sea, throned out of Jonah's whale...
rounded bellicose belly

but they render me
alive,
when they split and spit me, to you,
you, to each, defined in pieces, gratitude
nuggets, each, treasured, each hugged, each letter,
a custom bespoke of  connectivity and

who needs friends, when your words
embrace me so deep repeat and touch me
in places where my heart must follow on & on.
now many poems you commission with every exposition.
even the dimplest thanks is a vibrato of pleasuring sounds, that
you, you, you, took that particular moment of time to
express the heartfelt, destroys the invidious
that does quiet creepily slides inside us,  
saying I am your comforter false,
but is not!

use your words, that,
they to the children teach; let us too
embrace this honorific so terrific, and touch each other with
comments, a sharing, and the sol shines on
'*we two too, for all to seer and see
a day spent in  food & friendship makes me needy & greedy for your affection
Love flows
like water over glass
it causes, storms
that shatters in pain.
Love are windows of opportunity
ever green forever again
Love gathers, shards
shoots stars
and covers the pain.
Nothing special
All lines went for a vacation
Making sentences
For the absence
Of words
Of all the notices sent
None reached
As they were out of jurisdiction
Written on 28th July
You could be a dot, a comma, a pause in someone’s life
A fill in the blanks to some
A lost memory to few
A word, a sentence or none to many
But a select few would make you their story
Part of their history, their life
Through miseries and smiles
Walking that mile
Through precious times and eventide  

Some may walk along a while
Listen to your heart
All along you will hear many a heartbeats
Tugging at yours
Believing in you and
Wanting your energy, time and space
Be the resource
Rest assured, there is a source besides, walking, tracking, guiding you through

You could be a grammatical error to someone
Good that you got to know
There is always a way to correct the  sentence
But through all the errors
The Blanks and pauses
Be your own stop
Reflect upon your own story
A novel in the making
Never a full stop
Until your last sunset
The final stop
Written on 1st August
Warm hypnotic breezes blow
The air is fresh and clear
Comfortable to breathe
A weeping willow bends to and fro
Its branches reaching towards the sky
The sky is light blue with a scattering of white clouds
Lulling one into a state of peace
Wind chimes play their melody to the rhythm of the wind
The willow tree leaves glisten from the sunlight
What a perfect summer day if only it could go on forever...
