I smiled when I found this crumpled in a jacket I barely wear

On days like this, I remember
drawing pictures
and writing you poetry
before I visited the
place you worked,
it was just down the street
from the library.
In the most still room
the day looked colder than it felt.
From those high windows
I looked over the busy street and I wondered
how I could ever lose you.

Now our love is like a pillow fight
We laugh
And we laugh
Until someone falls off the bed

"I Go On"

Perhaps the truth

Is altogether unknown

Like a prayer

Left unsaid

I exist

As senseless

As a sea urchin

As mad as the breaking tide

It is not for myself

I go on-

But to be known

As dark and as deep as the ocean
Is profound

I went out into a storm
A night dark and terrible
The flash of lightning was absent
and there was no clap of thunder
Only eyes, my eyes
Searching for someone
as lost as me
I think I found him
Waiting at a red light,
When it was his turn to walk

As Few As Possible
