Poetry: The way you love me

forgiveness for my many faults

jokes erupt in laughter and
make me forget the tears
to distract me from some crisis
I saw brewing but was nothing more
than chaos strumming for attention
in a world anxious for peace
and a quiet collective mind

blind to my scars
accepting of the things I will never be

some special recipe is rising like a symphony
planned for when I arrived home tired
and empty
you picked up all the ingredients and
found the placemats at the back of the pantry

and you won't be upset if I drink an extra glass of chard
you understand it was a long day and

smoothing my hair and kissing my headache
wishing you could take away the pain

you love me

    Bear






    He's feeling old today,

    I can see it in his eyes,

    Those pools of deep dark blue,

    Full of years gone by.

    He came to stand

    by Lejla Miletic

    I was a motionless stone
    once...
    Tonight he sits across from me
    the table too small
    his left hand on his belly
    the right hand
