Having a purpose
you don’t need a friend
Being impassioned
the beginning can’t end
Having a vision
the world falls in line
Being self-chosen
— all moments to rhyme
(Dreamsleep: June, 2026)
From You
Rather than write
to an academic standard
I prefer sharing language with you
Rather than dance
the dilettante’s tango
I learn more slow waltzing anew
Rather than say
what my life means in reference
intrinsically one voice is heard
Rather than live
for a stranger’s acceptance
from you — just three little words
(Poems Of Love: June, 2026)
