The Squirrel In Winter

Winter’s russet lad.
The cheeky schoolboy, Seeking
Autumn’s lost homework.

SEX EDUCATION

A schoolboy called Timothy Leary
Found sex education quite dreary
He thought it would be
More exciting you see
But they only covered the theory

Sadness
Like the sachet
Of a detained schoolboy
Taunt, tease, thrash, threaten, terrorize
Sadly

Sadly
Sachet full with
Colorful memories
Captivate, caress, convince, cure
Serene

Serene
Sadness gives way
Sachet memories soon
Savors secure, smoothes shines, shields, saves
Smoothly

A poet who doesn't feel 
Is like a dealer who doesn't deal
A knife sharpener without a steel. 

A writer who won't emote
Is like a schoolboy reciting by rote
A person who truly never wrote. 

This dabbler 'I' at least tried 
With words like feelings that never lied
Or sought coldness as a place to hide.

I Treated Love too Lightly

  I never treated love with the respect it deserves.
  I always thought of it more as a fling, frivolity.
  It felt like a schoolboy crush and lasted just as long.
  I kept riding different horses on the carousel always
  hoping to grab the brass ring on a lucky spin, but
  each time I had it I never knew how precious it was....

Streamy tears from above
Roll down the window pane
In a form of beads
Strung by unseen cords.

Bicycles race furiously
In haste away from the torrents,
The world, in ceaseless motion
Except this poor soul of mine,

With heads bowed down in sorrow,
The masquerade tree lamented,
The white line bore no silver lining.
No, not for me
        
       A flying chalk from the janitor

                Kissed my head....

Painfully shy schoolboy and girl
    break long, awkward silence with small talk.
         The classmates flash sheepish smiles...

         with nervous giggles here and there.
           Both too timid to get to first base,
          to cross the threshold of "I like you"
