WE WERE LIKE A KIT

We were like a kit

Unassembled and incomplete

A loose collection of parts

But we were just parts

And the lesser for it

But there was no manual

There were no instructions

To say which part fitted which

So there were mistakes

Part A did not fit part Z

And part B did not connect with H

But then one day

Part A was in proximity with B

And quite effortlessly

Joined into one entity

And became us

FROM THE SIGHT OF THE FIRST SWALLOW

 

From the sight of the first swallow

To the moment of the last fall of snow

More than a short romantic interlude

But nonetheless it was bound to conclude

A love born beneath a swallow’s wing

Perished on the very eve of spring

LOVE IS NOT

 

Love is not

A test of life,

To prove existence

Love is life

Where love is absent

Life perishes

Where love exists

Life is lived

THE TIME I HAVE AWAITED IS AT HAND

 

The time I have awaited is at hand

As evening falls slowly on my life

And as my light sets on this world

I will once again rejoin my wife

LOVE IS NOT A TEST OF LIFE

 

Love is not a test of life

That we might pass or fail

To prove if we are alive

 

Life is a test of love

That we can pass or fail

But we must try to survive

ARE YOU WEARING SKINNY JEANS?

 

Are you wearing skinny jeans?

They are a very skinny pair

But on those lovely slender legs

What else would you wear?

THERE IS KNOWLEDGE I NEED TO KNOW # 7

 

There is knowledge I need to know

I’m sorry I don’t mean to blether

But how does the snowplow driver

Get to work in the winter weather
