Young Lovers Romance

If matter mattered
We could scatter our passions,
Our innate reactions
So subtle they’d tatter
Nature’s very fabric.
Title fights,
Having been battered,
Afford us time that
Otherwise
Could not be inclined
To sit on its hind legs
And give us some space.
It’s difficult to breath in here.
As we slip slow and steady
We’re ready to accept that
You and me,
We’ve got nothing to lose here.
Run for it and see.

This poem is about two people and what their romance means, but they'll never know I wrote it for them.

I kind of like it that way.

Nostalgic Solidarity

In a dressing room
In upstate
She waits.
Fumbling with thoughts of
Things left behind
A light sigh cries
From her lips
Like
That time when mom
Left the screen open
And Maverick escaped.
She chased that dog for hours,
She did.

Eventually things
Returned to their right place.
It wasn't so bad then
Was it?
Things will get better.

Standing Sideways

Souls sold for a quick buck
Make homes in plastic seeking hearts
Where individuality is a rarity
Conformity is honesty
Utopia remains a mystery
Intelligence sits like history
The irony is that society
Values materiality over creativity
When did we become
So obsessed with popularity
When in reality
It stands in relativity
And makes no difference anyway
