You’ve drawn the line
and I can feel reality as
barbed wire pierces my
heart and blood stains
my outlook on us. It would
have been nice to see
more deeply into each
other’s worlds. I was living
in the clouds not seeing
this sketched out.
So for now,
I’ll continue walking
through fields
of what could have been

I live on the corner
of happy and content
but, sometimes my mind lingers
into the neighborhood of
melancholy
Living with joy
would be a better choice
yet, often, I find the door locked
and no matter how loudly I knock
it won’t budge
It takes courage to push
once in awhile,
make your presence known
that you are strong
and you belong
nurturing your roots
wherever they may grow
