Unmentionable

 My dog must think I'm daft

as I scramble for the nearest shaft

of sunlight so I can try to bask,

a just about impossible task,

when hit by another icy draft

right down my... well, don't ask.

Hangar

 Today is the day he arrived

A soul who never quite thrived

But stubbornly survived

Despite not knowing his part

He wondered in his heart

On what day he would depart.

Leaving Port

I gaze into the eastern sky

A bit more lost, a bit less spry

In search of some celestial guide

The sky is very dark today

There is no one to light my way

But this I always take in stride

I hope you’ve learned from watching me

That you don’t always have to see

Just listen to that voice inside

In two years you will really start

And I can only pray your chart

Will bring you back here on the tide.

***Happy 16th birthday Westin 😍***

Reading You

Despite the din

We hear within

The voice of those we long to win

It seems absurd

But without a word

All they want to say is heard.

Such is Love

Should you tell someone you’ve never met

That they’re the one you can’t forget

And how each word they write resounds

Within your soul, and your heart pounds

With passion when you contemplate

The chance that they'll reciprocate—

Does that make much sense to you?

Well such is love, but you already knew.
