Our Summer
That was our summer,
Our broke paradise.
It belonged to you
And to me
And to hope and no other.
It was both one and the same,
The shortest stretch of my love
And the longest dream I have ever had.
That dream still remains.
That moment of our love
Was the greatest slice,
The only slice of paradise,
That I have ever known.
But what did we possess?
The sun,
The freedom of days unending?
Love? Lust?
Each other’s heart
Or just a lingering embrace?
Regardless, you are my scar,
My bleeding wound.

That Day
That day with you shimmered, a laughing daydream.
Green never looked so green.
Water glistened,
And caught our smiling faces.
The wind whispered, softly kissing our skin.
Sunlight fell through treetops,
Celebrating you with dappled patterns.
As you walked, the patterns changed,
And the colors changed,
And you were cast in kaleidoscope light.
As we strolled paradise, hand in hand,
There was a weightiness, a heaviness to our steps.
Our feet struck the ground slowly, solidly, purposefully.
We were connected to the earth, and to one another,
In a literal sense.
That day was surreal, yet so real.
I think that in the end
When I lay down to die, fading from this world
And closing my eyes,
I will see you that day,
Smiling in the sun.

Grandpa
Is gentle and slow
But he is a bear
He is hairy and he shows his teeth
When he smiles
He growls and snores
But he is like Davie Crockett
He carves things with knives
And he fights monsters
He mows the yard and listens to sports
On a small radio
While the rest of the world has
Big screen high definition
Grandpa
Will be grandpa
Forever

Grandma
Is like glue
Holding the family together
She loves all of us
The grandchildren
But she is the matriarch
The queen
Always demur
And a lady
With her purse and her heels
And her Sunday morning church smile
She smells like powder
And she is timeless
Full of love and stories and
Just the right explanation
Of why things are what they are
And how they should be
She is flawless and perfect
The best grandma
Anyone could hope for

Brothers and sisters
Brothers and sisters
Fight like cats and dogs
They also teach and learn
And grow together
Looking out for one another
In the best of times
And through the worst
In the end
Sometimes our best friend
Can be a sister
Or a brother

"Sissy"
I walk home from school
And Sissy is there
Always there
To play with me
Or to scold
While mom is away
She is my big sister
My biggest fan
Because I’m the family’s "little man"
But I love her more
Because she is my protector
My teacher and friend
And my sister forever
Always "Sissy"
Until the end

A poem for Mother


There was a time when I was small
Not yet strong or tall
When you held my hand
There was a time when you sang me a song
And daily
Taught me right from wrong
So that I could become an honest man
There was a time that I was sick
And you put a cool cloth to my head
You kissed my cheek while I lay in bed
And then I knew everything would be okay
Over the years you cared for me
All your love and joy was free
So now I take this time to say
"I love you"
And Happy Mothers Day!!

Why
Out of the starkness of the ordinary
Comes a swinging translucent dream
That draws yesterday and today
Tomorrow and forever
Into a tight spiral
Circling inwards
Always asking
Why?

Childhood Friendship Poem
We played cowboys and Indians, batman and robin
Or speed-racer
in the streets of our youth
We sailed on cloudy ships through the sky of dreams
Fancied ourselves pirates
We dug tunnels in my back yard,
Ran through fields of corn,
And swam in muddy Kentucky water.
We suffered sunburns, bee-stings, and lectures from almighty mom.
And now, when all is said and done,
After 30 years have come and gone
I wonder, are we anything more than this?
More than childhood friends?
Are we more than hopeful dreamers, schemers;
More than actors on a stage?
The world is a bigger place now, a new playground.
The stakes are higher, but we are none the wiser.
I think that we are still just two lazy boys
Fishing under a golden sun.

Life
The family circle grows
Smaller over the years
Grandpa goes
And grandma fills with tears
Then dies alone
Someone sold their home
Aunts and uncles
With tumors and lung disease
All disappear
Those we hold dear
Drift from the earth
And then from our memory
But new life is born under a golden sun
To take the place of those deceased
The pitter patter of small feet
Replaced the aged cane
And the wheelchair

With great effort
I push my heart blindly forward
Into the open spaces of this bright world
Knowing
That I am alone
And that this birth
My birth
After love
This life after death
Is all that I have
And that no one owes me a thing

You are my mirror
And I weep for the seeing
Looking at you, looking into me
Everything that I am
Everything I could ever be
Hidden in your shinning eyes
Sometimes I see a man smaller than myself
Petty
I see a fool
Sometimes in your eyes,
I am much larger than myself
A king, a God
And I have never known unconditional love,
Until I knew you
With a spirit that is pure,
Like Holy water
In a sacred pool
And when the ugly part of me speaks
(The small man)
You are silent
Waiting for your champion
And when he laughs, and shines his stupid grin
You are patient
Waiting for your king.
And when he stumbles
You extend a gracious hand
Helping him to stand
So you see
Your mirror shows the truth of me
And I could never lie
When I look into your eyes

Because I miss you
My pain is stretched
Across a broad cold winter
And the core of my heart
Is splintered
Because you’re gone
Because
I miss you
But this love lingers on
And there is no seperation from your memory
No progression from our history
And destiny
Without you
Is chained to a locked chest
Sinking
To the bottom of the sea
The sun now hurts my eyes
Tired of crying in darkness
Because the light is not the same
Without you
It is a phantom sun that shines
Not revealing your shadow
Next to mine
And the wind
Against my skin
Is cold without you
Because I miss you
I am not myself
Because the me
That is me
Is not me without you
And the man I had hoped to be
Is dead without you
So I become
The phantom sun
And the cold wind and the crying darkness and the locked chest
And I am waiting
For your love to return to me
Because I miss you.

I miss you
I miss the way you laugh
And how your hand felt in mine
I miss the smell of your perfume
Other women betray you
With that fragrance
I miss the sun
Because it had a special way of shining
On the two of us
I miss your hugs
I love you
And I miss you

Saying goodbye is difficult, but goodbye poems help ease our pain. They bring finality, completion. Sad love poems and goodbye poems help us express what we need, to see a ralationship through to a peaceful end.



Goodbye
Goodbye my love
We tried
In the end we can say
That instead of tears
We smiled wonderful memories
Upon what once was
But we each know the truth that life holds
And the realities that unfold
So if love is a dying flame
At least we can say
That were warm
Until the end.

A final end (Goodbye)
How do you say good bye to someone you love?
How do you make such a decision in the first place?
Life makes it for us
Reason and emotion don’t go hand in hand
But our hands
Fit nicely together
Until life told us otherwise
Goodbye
Is such a cruel sounding word
Like death
It plagues the mind of the living
And the heart that is used to giving love
But goodbye
Sometimes
Is not a final end
But the beginning of a new chapter
And the creation of a fond memory
Which will keep our heart company forever
Goodbye my friend
I love you

Sorry
Your feelings got hurt
For something I said
Something I did
For something, maybe
That I didn’t do
Sometimes I act in ways
That I regret
But it’s too late
The damage is done
Your pain
Causes me pain too
So now, all I can say
Is that I’m sorry
Please forgive me
I’m sorry

Sounds of Sorry
Words are just noises
We make with our mouth
So how can these sounds
Mend a broken heart?
(yours AND mine)
Can they ever say enough?
I will try with my mouth
And with these sounds
To apologize
Because I was wrong
And I know that now
"I’m sorry baby. I still love you.
Please return
Your heart to me
Because my heart misses it’s friend.
I’m sorry…"

I'm Sorry
Some would say I lied.
But I think that I tried
To give you what you needed,
And to save a love that died.
I'm sorry for hurting your feelings
For causing you so much pain.
Sorry for the changes,
And sorry for all the rain
That my love poured upon your heart
And I'm sorry for the stain
That my love left upon your life
Creating so much pain.
I tried to give a love
That was so real and true
But after all the tears you cried
I say,
I'm sorry
To you.

Thank You Friend
Thank you for being my friend
Thank you for listening
When I didn’t need judgement
Or even advice
But just needed to talk
Thank you for smiling
When all I needed was to know
That someone cared
Thank you for laughing
When I needed to feel happy
Thank you for that small gift
That made me feel special
Thank you
For remembering my birthday
Thank you
For lighting a candle when darkness fell upon me
Thank you for holding my hand
Thank you
For being my friend

Your Fair Garden
In your fair garden
I found a new sun
And a reason to believe again
A new season of love
Was growing
With surprising color and stones to border
The edges of my broad heart
Watching you transform the earth
Smiling
Glistening in the sun
I tried to remember why my love died
I felt the warmth of your hands
As you toiled
Earthen hands
With nails that scratched the earth to new growth
Yes I fell in love again
There was shade and sunlight
And tiny green sprouting everywhere
Sweat and sunshine
Raw dirt
And vivid color
Such life growing by your hands
Working the earth into a bright frenzy
And I had fallen again
In your fair garden

Snow Cone Lips
Snow cone lips are cold to kiss.
A strange contrast,
Cold kissing lips,
To usual warm ones.
Snow cone lips are numb,
And offer a rainbow smile.
Red and blue and green,
Like the swirled dome atop the cone.
Snow cone lips are fun to kiss.
They tickle your cheek like a cold whisper.
Or they melt in your mouth,
With growing warmth.
But then another lick,
And snow cone lips
Once more

The Thimble
Wrapped around in silk
Or light
Or woven love
A thimble
Is a beautiful thing.
I’m certain that my love for you
In all it’s unraveling adoration
Could be wrapped around a tiny spool
Then you could keep it in your pocket
Or tie some of it around your finger
To remind you that I love you
And I do
Yes
Thimbles are beautiful things
Thimbles are tiny symbols
Of love!
