Love Poem

Through blood moons
And comets that disquiet
Meteors that threaten
To rend the planet
With their heavy showers

Through acid fields
And wrenching violence
Enough to make the earth embarrassed
At giving birth

Through baseless hatred
That inflames without healing
I come to you and look in your eyes
Rejecting the meaningless scorn
That surrounds us like poison

I see your weary smile
And hold your face in my hands

Who is it that is so close
Hovering by your ear
Whispering words that
Startle you with truth?
The unimaginable is
But a breath away

During the busy day
You look out the window
Of your office
And absently gaze at other offices
In the building across the street
You see people at work
Sitting at their tasks
When sunlight illumines the glass
Of their windows
And you suddenly realize the message

My long poem Tel will be launched on ReedsyDiscovery. Please look at the available section. I would appreciate a favorable vote.

Each age, each day
The need to recreate
Though we never brought ourselves in
But were created
For what purpose many answers
Yet created
The tree, the rock
Shaped and formed by wind and rain
Still a tree and rock created
Humility is the beginning

AR-15

Open spaces where the
Enemy hides
Jet fighters overhead
Leading into a mall
Where the enemy moves into
The produce section of a supermarket
Or the racks of appliances at a hardware store
The enemy hides in the sound of children
Studying and playing
Your weapon is just an object
Inert when left alone
But trusty when you sense an enemy
That your mind can find anywhere

Why on the day of calm

When the trees are still

And there is a green world of birds

Is there a tension in your chest

When thoughts are not real?
