Crazy Progress
No Quarters
Just a card
'This is crazy' He says
'It's not crazy' I say
'It's progress'
News lost on him as he shakes his head and mutters
'This is crazy'

How about you go jump in a lake?
It must be fun to act the fool
and then blame it on me.
It must be fun for you to play the victim
while pushing the big bad guy stick my way.
Im tired of your fun.

An Issue of Trust
I do not allow
people
into my heart.
I do not trust them
to not
tear it all apart.
I do not trust
people
not to hurt or betray
me.
And so I protect
my heart
by locking the gate
and hiding the key.
In all of this mistrust
I can clearly see

Hope Poems
It was the first thing I saw on the page
Hope Poems
And in that moment
I thought of all the hope
Those poems had
Crammed into their
Few lines.
Seldom will they fail
To call or give hope.
Yet we get entire years
To fill with hope
And too often we don't.
We can't get right
What a four line poem does.

Pink Grapefruit
So you wonder-
what exactly does the
'pink'
do?
Is it extra sweetner?
A change in texture?
Flavor enhacer perhaps?
You can't wait to have
its flavors dance upon
your tongue
And when they do
you realize that
'Pink'
refers to color only
It's still grapefruit

A Question For Faith
Sometimes,
I question Faith.
Faith,
why aren't you working for me?
Am I working enough for you?
Where are you when I need you most?
What are you...exactly.
But the answers do not come
And I feel hopeless,
And I feel I have lost all faith,
But then I realize,
I have not lost faith
Because I chose to question it
Rather than to stop seeking it.

Sigh of Relief
I get sad
too sad, when I dont get external support, encouragement and praise
it sucks.
I get sad
too sad, when I think of the direction
or lack thereof,
My life is taking-
no
that I am moving my life in.
I get frustrated,
too frustrated when I wonder
what is wrong with me, and why cant I be
Just like everyone else
And then I realize,
truly realize,
that you cannot fit a square peg
into a circle.

Commercials Make Me Cry
Commercials make me cry,
So do articles about talented men
Who, at age 44
of a massive heart attack
Die.
I'm sure I'm coming down with the flu
and you forgot the 8.2 hour anniversary
of the moment we met.
How could you?
A burned slice of pizza,
and a sad song bring a tear,
My favorite TV show is now off the air.
To you,
these things may be minimal,
but I cant help it.
I think
they are

Please answer me
Why do you say
you 'hate' happy
people?
Does that mean
you hate happiness?
Why is it that
happiness is considered
to be a four letter word?
Must you always
wear a scowl
on your face?
Can't it take
a bathroom break?
How can you expect
to find happiness

The Poem of Unrequited Love..with a twist
The love you speak of
is mesmerizing.
You speak of acacias
and of the happy childhood
memories they bring you.
You compare me to those acacias
although by the time I met you
childhood was far gone.
You speak of their lovely scent on the breeze
and it fills your heart with such
longing and love
that I see tears come to your eyes.
You tell me that you no longer
have to see acacias for them to
bring you happiness.
You are happy simply because they are.
You tell me this is how you feel about me.
I am very quiet.
part of me optimistic; trying to soak in
and feel the love you are telling me-
