Meditative Prose

This is
meditative prose.
It is
according to
Jean Vanier,
anyway.

Jean Vanier is the man who founded L'Arche, about which I have an acrostic poem on this website.

Hello

Have a hello,
Not a bellow.
Be a friend
And don't rend.
Be cool
Instead of cruel.
Be aware
That other people are there.

Loving You

Loving you
Is what I want to do.
If you don't try to control me,
You'll see
I'm a good guy
By and by.

This poem is based on my unfortunate experience with my last girlfriend.

Three Words

There are three words
That I'll never say
Let it eat me alive
Each and every day
I'll still show I care
In my very own way
But in the end
We both won't stay
At a coming time
I'll go my own way
I promise you this
It will be okay
Let's remember us
Till our last day
Yet you will not hear
What I hide each day
Are these three words
I will never say.

Trying to get back into it. Been away so long. So much stress going on I really need this. This is what keeps me at ease.

My Disability

My disability doesn't define me.
It doesn't matter what you see.
What you learn matters,
And hopefully your prejudice shatters.

On A Hot Day

I might be tempted to get naked.
