Like cyclops (with one eye), like octopus (arms that encompass),
the wound of lost elm limb (a bull’s eye to witness home playground),

I love my wife and think she’s great, but one thing...

For all the weighted years of empires
Stockpiled with human grief
For all the fallen towers of desires

entwining history of ours…...

I cuddled my baby until he took his first few steps
And began to exercise his new freedom of choice,

Quest the shove your fate, my mate.
With the advice of the dough of joy sate,

Peeking through the burning bushes
into your eyes once more,
As i lie in state i see a face

When I try to recall my childhood memories,
My heart elates with those stockpiled in my unwritten registry.
I used to enjoy walking under the trellis of “vines”
The rich “hued” pink and purple blossoms 
With their sweet...

I can’t see my dentist and I’ve got dire halitosis,
with distancing I hope that nobody will notice!

When we're outdoors we must keep 2 meters apart,

I wanted to touch all her fragile things;
all that nice porcelain she had stockpiled,

I so wanted to touch them with my hands,
but...

if I could but reach 
        a little bit further,

the Baltic winds, the Irish Sea,
not even the Atlantic

could my need for misgivings divide

I really intended to do.
I meant to do them all,
I just never followed through.

with so much zeal and vigor.
But time passed so quickly,
and the list got...
