Not Enough

So much life I want
To live with you,
So much to see and share.

There aren't enough hours
In the day or weeks or
Months in the year.

So much I want
To do with you,
To be with you.

Proper Burial

When I die bury me
And plant a tree
Atop what's left of me.

Let my empty shell
Feed and nurture
Something sacred for the future.

Hang an old tire swing
And bird feeders and
Wind chimes in my branches.

Find relief in my shade
And contemplate
And write poetry.

Spouse's Day Out

Come on over,
Enjoy the day
Or evening
And see what may.

Just yourself,
No spouses allowed.
Mix and mingle
As if you were single.

We're just friends
Among friends,
Keeping old ones
And making new ones.

If you should decline,
Please pass this invitation
To your spouse.
Let them come as all are welcome.

Communication Is Key!

Hard or soft, fast or slow,
Deep or shallow, neat or sloppy,
Or any combination of the above?
She asks me,
"How do you
Like your blowjobs?"

The Wedding Pictures

The man in
My wedding pictures
Who isn't anymore.
In my divorce
A part of me died,
The part who
Promised, "I do."
And vowed with
All truth, honesty,
And faith; standing
Before God, family,
And friends, EVERYBODY!
Now a different man
Stands in a different
Set of wedding pictures.

Rescued And The Rescuer

I did not go to prison,
My prison came to me.
A self imposed one
Of my own making;
I carried for the
Whole world to see.

You rescued me, releasing me,
Because I could not,
Would not, free myself.
Perhaps, in one way
Or another, we rescued
Each other, ourselves?

Perfectly Blended

That perfect
Unsearched for moment
When I snatch a quick glance
Through the window at work
And take in
The purest blue and
Pink and purple
Of the sunset;
Blended perfectly
At the end of day
And the beginning of night.

Loving Each Other

Can we love, will we love, ourselves
Enough so as to love each other?
We'll have difficult times
Loving each other
If we don't love
Ourselves first.

Welcome!

You have it
Great here!
A bad day here
Is still better than
A good day at
Whichever unit
You were locked up at.
Most certainly better
Than the holding tank
At Hospital Galveston.
Welcome to the
Carole Young Medical Facility!
