We see with open eyes
The mess our hands devise.
We close our eyes to see
What we would like the world to be.
See before you see
Micropoetry
Joke
Like words that must be spoken,
Forces, awoken,
Hearts and wind, broken,
A joke, however dry,
Must make mindfall.
Weapon
There are times when
the intellect must be unsheathed
And times when
its gem-studded scabbard suffices
to slay the darkness.
Death
Autumn and winter:
Annual reminders of death,
Parting a life of summertime toil
From a Life of springtime recreation.
I feel you
In the denim breath
Of time’s long kiss.
If only you could hear me,
My love.

Coffee
I don’t agree with you
or like what you do
but we can get coffee
talk about everything
and not change anything
Upset
A wrinkled brow and silence
Portend a storm of frowns
That scale cereal boxes
To smite unpoffered excuses.
Only time makes peace
So Sensitive
One word to break your heart
No heart to break your word
Forgetting what you said
Recalling what you heard
Indecision
I came to a crossroads,
And the indecision broke me.
I decided I didn’t want to experience it again,
Ever.
So I live there now.
How many tweets must a twitterer tweet
‘Fore a twitterer tweets his mind
With his fingers all racing through keystrokes retracing
A thought he cannot leave behind.
