WELCOME
..and here are a few things to keep in mind:
This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.
Enjoy...

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
SI
Hi there again, my friend.
Have you come to take away my pain?
Or cause me more?
I trusted my life with you,
Everything was so much better.
For a while anyway.
Then I became obsessed with you.
I wanted you with me always.
For a while I neglected other things.
I wish I could have kept you,
They made me let go.
But sometimes I wonder…
Haven’t seen you for such a time,
I’m beginning to miss you.
Maybe I should invite you back.
I see you’ve made other friends, too.
Don’t hurt them like you hurt me,
Let them go while they have a chance.
I don’t know what to do about you,
In memory, you’ll remain with me forever,
However, the evidence will never stay.
