First, give me Freedom.

Then if you give me courage,

I'll go into battle

to defend that freedom.

Of course, if you give me Public Office,

I'll send someone else into battle

for me.

I am old
When I was young
Fell in love
Fell deeper yet
Then deeper yet
Two things
I never would have bet
That she would die
My giant shell of love
Fill empty with regret.

I am gone
When I was young
Loved by one
Gave back the same
Gave more the same
Two things
I never would have dreamed
He'd remain
And ever be in pain
And just remain.

Hippies are like good scotch:
The older the better!

Nice verse, Dude.

The shawdows of daybreak
stretch, reach, yearn, and push
as far away from the source as light allows
only to return home again slowly.
So too my thoughts of you
are never truly gone.

Melancholy called on the phone today.
He said he'd just had lunch with Love,
who had been driving by my house daily
for a long time.

For all those years
Love never so much as tooted his horn.

Just as I was about to hang up,
Melancholy said Love told him
he was thinking about paying me a visit
the day after tomorrow.

I think I'll unlock my door.

Just got on this site and enjoy the talented poets.


As I wake
the morning sky taps silently
on my window.
The alms it brings
begin in gold and glide to richly
bathed blue on blue.

The evening sky
withdraws - noiseless
in its mantle of gray - finally
to offer diamond-studded indigo
as I sleep.
