Poem For the Poet
Poem For the poet
A Darkened Street
familiar footsteps
The Appointed Hour
has been long awaited
An Embrace Of Souls
never made the headlines
For Headlines Never Print
good news
Do I Know You?
the night is not all that is dark
A Boy On His Bike Racing By
dividing the night
Fifteen Minutes Sweating Uphill
for thirty sweet seconds of coasting
Nobody Ever Broke The Law
of diminishing returns
For Ten Minutes A Month
i observe the phantom of you
Piecing Together The Puzzle
that is you
Your Pen Is A Machete
making paths through my underbrush
This Jungle Needs Clearing Sometimes
the night is not all that is dark
In Your Heart Is A Meal For The Hungry,
a steady hand for the handicapped
In Your Verse Is That Sacred Space
in the eye of the storm
A Poor Man Indeed Is He
who knows not your friendship
Poorer Still, The One
who knows not your words
