Poesi
To Jim
You were an angels gift
do not get me wrong
you were all human
but still
something different
you handled pain so well
you handled repeated bad news
cancer
that word rings in my ears
as I dedicate this poem to you
We all loved you
we all miss you
you were the light in our lives
but you were also the darkness
you fought so well my friend
all the way to the end
but it was uninevitable
cancer had taken you over
we lost you, but will never forget you
Jim ,my friend

You're my..
You are my flesh, my blood
You are "EVERYTHING"
That gives me life
At times I even wonder
why I should even bother
WHAT DO I HAVE, TO REALLY OFFER?
You can make me,
Mold me
Even make me whole again
Or crush the being from within
That gives me eternal breath and wind
You have the power of a thousand Angels
Over my living soul
Without you I'm priceless
Empty
And unwhole

Wait for You
you said it will only be a few days . . .
I counted the fingers on my left
then my right hand
then once again, and once again
Spring bloomed all around me
like the flowers on the caressing sheets
that comforted me each night
Summer burned with the moist air of sleepless
visions long and countless, hot and restless
Fall ripened our bed with blankets
like the growing red peas beneath the Ormosia
round, solid, and delicious.
the Chinese called them "love peas"
for thousands of years.
Winter whispered purity
beneath the blankets of snow and promises.
Tonight, as I climbed into bed
alone,
I left the light on for you
again.
