( A repost of my favorite love poem. Happy Valentine’s Day!)

A Lover’s Concern
I have begun to wonder That if by now you have fallen in love with my imperfections And if so Would it be okay it there were also bruises
Pareidolia
Today, I saw faces on the walls Long noses and piercing eyes. I cried along with the tears of another. There were no sounds to call my own Like a silent movie without a plot They moved like people. Fickle and foul beings fumbling through life These silent stares bore holes into my soul. Blank…

She shook For lack of emotion Had ejected her into reality Tumbling Falling from grace The doubt grew Flying with wings of uncertainty Never knowing what her purpose was For the fear of falling She would fall Mercilessly For the wrong person On two occasions Once in her prime And another when the world had…

A fox rests on the shoulder of a mountain Taking in the rays of the sun It raises its head Foot steps draw near On the edge of the forest Creeping along the undergrowth A hunter draws near With gun in hand With vengeance in her eyes The fox tilts his head in amusement Another…
Mother, I hope that you are well
