Love Tokens

These tiny movements of the heart
love tokens of the Universe
skip along the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

in the balance

you sit with death daily in the balance
while you do not mourn the passing of a flower
quite the same as the grief you feel for a person
you know to survive all seed must be scattered
and dying to yourself
all seed will eventually bloom for eternity
I beg you
don't leave the sky

when dark clouds billow in the south
the weary winged hurry home

overhead on the dead blue
jupiter and venus are born anew

the wind slows to silence
trees loom night's shadowy ghost

nocturnal birds sing on their new day
you feel your breath as they fall

the clouds spread across the sky
cracked by the lightning

a drop lands on your stretched palm
soothes all the burns in you

you melt in love
by the torrents falling from above.

don't leave for shelter
I beg you
when heaven arrives here.

Plant me elsewhere
Remove me without a care

Pull me by my roots
And forget to water me

Fill the hole with someone new -
A delicate white daisy

Tend to her and show her the sun
Tell her that this is "love"

Watch as I go through a drought
Praying for fictitious rain

Lost in a heatwave of doubt
Wishing I was numb to the pain
For WY

Everyone wanted to test me,
To see if I would break.
Everyone wanted to take down my walls,
To see if I was fake.

Good job, you have broken me,
And I'm never going to mend,
Good job, my walls are down,
And now you can see my ends.

You saw more than you wanted to,
But you can't forget now,
My death is on your hands,
Let's see if I can break thou.

John Keats
Four Seasons fill the measure of the year;
    There are four seasons in the mind of man:
He has his ***** Spring, when fancy clear
    Takes in all beauty with an easy span:
He has his Summer, when luxuriously
    Spring's honied cud of youthful thought he loves
To ruminate, and by such dreaming high
    Is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves
His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings
    He furleth close; contented so to look
On mists in idleness--to let fair things
    Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook.
He has his Winter too of pale misfeature,
Or else he would forego his mortal nature.

Tea in hand
Sun on my back
Wind on my face
That is called love

I'm fed up with writing
And so its time to say goodbye
Many friends I've made here
So I leave with tear filled eyes

I'm not the greatest writer
For I know not words to use
But I've always done my best
To reap your criticism or abuse

I'm getting old now
More than seventy years have passed
But I'm also getting tired
And poetic words don't last

I love you all my friends
Who share poetic words and phrases
But now I must hang up my pen
For I have had my day
Four dailies in two years, yes I was proud but now its your time
