y'all do realize that the only reason that men write songs and poetry
is to get women to take their clothes off. Right?

Tell me NO! It can't be true

Ok doggy burst my bubble. I thought men wrote poetry to express their inner thoughts lol

Same thing Autumn

How quiet you are!
It seems as if
every day you grow more silent
as if you were delving
into layers of unspeech
previously unknown
to the truculent,
the deeply hurt or the profoundly deaf.

Talking with Donna

You may talk with hundreds
and still feel unheard,
unassuaged, or

you can talk with one
and feel as if hundreds
have been listening attentively
storming love your way

Donna, the day before


A silence settles back
over the day just past, a day
I spent talking, to everyone within reach,
of my grief over the imminent death
of my friend. I talked
and talked
and everyone was sympathetic

but my grief was not assuaged

and my words and theirs
were swallowed up by the silence
encroaching from later on

Birds in adjacent cages
pondering
each other's dreams.
