The Deepest Apology

From Art of Mind: Philosopoems to the World
Available Now (Link Below)

*The Deepest Apology*

I know what you’re going through.
I know how you feel.
I Would be there for you—
I too feel what you don’t feel.
I too yearn to be touched—
Understood.
Loved.
Yes I do know how you feel —
You’re not the Only 1.

I feel your S .O .S .—
But I can’t be the one to
Save You…
I can’t see it,
Find You,
Touch You…
But I can empathize with you.
We are Companions and
Don’t Even Know It—
Just because we don’t Know Each Other.

We still share an Empty Room,
That makes us mates in Bloom.

I know you’re somewhere out there…
And if you are reading these words:
This apology was meant for you,
Though I’m sure they’ll go unheard.

*The Other 1s*

Don’t look at me like I’m a freak
With a damaged chromosome,
Yes I am alone,
But I am not alone.

Next time you assume I’m a Breed
of
A Kind that’s just begun…
Remember these words I tell you:
I’m not the Only 1.

The Reminder

*The Reminder*

I saw a pretty girl today,
And she reminded me of You…
Then I saw another —
And to my surprise,
She did too.

I saw a Greyhound,
And all the Passengers,
A Fire Truck,
An Extinguisher…

Lake Michigan,
A folded tent,
A Ferris Wheel,
A small basset…

A bumblebee,
A Tiny Dwarf,
A ladybug,
An infected wart…

A bathroom stall,
A composite sketch,
A sewer rat,
A polished jet…

A Meadowlark,
A Sandy Beach,
A Hornet’s Nest,
A Parakeet…

Today I saw a lot of things…
They all reminded me of you.
Then when I saw you—
You reminded me of me.

I Held a Lorikeet Today

*I Held a Lorikeet Today*

I Held a Lorikeet Today—
Both
Free
to
Hold
Its Wings…
My open palm seizes the moment
This warm season graciously
Brings.
I expected
Another quotidian day,
In a prosaic site tinctured in gray,
When in from the Wind
Flew In—
A Pop Fly
Like a stray Blue Jay.
My hand was as still as the air,
As un-shifting as my beholden stare.
I admiringly hawked at its wings—
Each
Assorted
Prismatic
Shade.
As the sun beamed down on us,
I knew I had it made
In the Shade.
This was a once in a lifetime sight,
And I had the perfect bird’s-view.

I captured these six seconds,
And held it for the rest of the day.

My face had a serene tint,
In-Hidden a camouflaged grin…
Although I knew it’d soon fly away…

And I’d sit alone again.

To the Woman I Love

*To the Woman I Love*

Today is Saturday,
&
I’m still trying to decide what to do…
Between:
Women,
Parties,
Nightclubs,
Bars,
Games,
Casinos,
And
Booze…
It’s a no contest,
This one was easy to choose.
Out of all the things in the world
That I could choose to do…
I’ll Grocery Shop with You—
On Saturday Afternoon.
