Feel Elated With This Sincere, Affectionate Embrace
Is fear a threat to being even lonelier,
not too sure of being hugged, sheltered
and assured that harm can be prevented;
do bedsheets offer protection to a trembler
whose only hope is to find a caring lover,
or that person that has felt the same tremor?
If nothing gives comfort or renders peace:
feel elated with this sincere, affectionate embrace!

Guy De Vere, Not So Sincere
After Lenore, by Edgar Allan Poe
Broken—yes—the golden-locked and beautiful Lenore,
Gone from us forevermore, to grace our eyes no more.
And thou, De Vere, who scornful stands with hollow, cold disdain—
It’s clear to all, thy mournful cries are pitiful and vain.
Let the exequy commence! Let sorrow find its voice,
While thou, false mourner, face thy fate—be judged for

Sincere Condolences
Thank you for the card
Your letters are stunning
The door open just a crack
But we know you don’t look back
A question or a ruse
Ready to leave another bruise
I duck and weave against the air
But again you are not there
So I walk over the words
Try to find something unheard
Until I find our familiar pattern
How did I let

a sincere prayer for white wolf woman
May the healing mother give your heart peace
May the forgiving father watch over you as you sleep
May your spirit animal, the deer, issue you much needed comfort
May your totem, the turtle, show you the way to health
May your sweat lodge sisters pray that your cancer dissipates
May your family dream of better times and ways to

Living In Sincere Faith
When the test of life hits you
Keep your spirit up and intact
Live in with full sincerity
Not everyone can be strong like you
Show you can overcome storm and pass you
Keep your faith strong and never weary
For in the face of adversity remain strong
In this life, only the brave survive.

I am a nice guy
Where are you, my dear?
My love is sincere.
Play not with me hide and seek!
Fear not like a deer;
My words, you do hear.
Without you, life appears bleak!
Always be my side.
It makes my soul glide
And build castles in the sky!
In you I take pride;
You will be my bride.
Doubt not, I am a nice guy!

A Sincere Distrust of Figs
In every apple, an atom resides;
in every Adam, an apple abides.
So it goes and goes, apples
toppling off tables in rhythmic waves,
falling through slits, convincing themselves
they are particles instead.
Whether in a pie or the depths
of your eye, it remains a life
enlaced with apples.
Even saws wield charmed abilities

On Valentine's, Let's Be Sincere
On Valentine's, let's be sincere,
So rare, I hold your words as dear.
You bore like a chiron,
And you snore like a siren,
But for a date, I'll lend you my ear.

Cute Little Sea Snail
Cute Little Sea Snail
From this cute little shell,
you made your home.
You take it with you,
wherever you roam.
So lovely as it is,
it is also so sad.
There is only room for one,
No husband, no wife, no mother, nor dad.
And when your children come to sup
Where shall the Hors d’Oeuvres go?
There’s no room to dine,
And no hanging
