Sort of Poems

Despite knowing you for many years

I rushed into your life like

a comet rushes through the sky;

Like a comet, driven by its fire.

 

I rushed into your life

maybe too fast, maybe too much.                 Light or fire?

I rushed into your life

supposing you’d be happier.

 

Like a comet driven by its fire

Light, like sudden realization.

It seemed to me only right

that I should rush into your life.

 

I’ve been here silent,

watching you from far away

And suddenly you looked at me

And I fell from the sky.

 

You had me falling for you

But am I burning too bright?

?

*****************

People around

 

I have people

surrounding me

stories

mixing, twirling, screaming

a whole lot of silences

dying to be heard.

Thoughts drowning in ink,

paper hugging lives.

 

I follow the wind

I drink sunset light

reflection

on the lake’s mirror.
