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
You Do Realize...?
You do realize...?
Not with him
does not equate
with you.
You introduced
the F-word.
Forever.
Something so strong.
I appriciate
your honesty.
I do like to know
where you stand.
Equally as
important
is to note
I'm not there.
Coming from
something serious,
I don't want
to jump right back.
You do realize...?
Not with him
does not mean
Yours.
The intimacy
that I have now
is not
Yours.
The emptiness
that I feel
is not
yours to fill.
The hurt
that I created
is mine.
I need to deal.
You do realize...?
Not with him
Does not make me
Yours to claim.
