2 Untitled Poems

i

			I
			never
			said 
			"can't"

Gargantuan possibilities abound
	even as rain falls
	and suffering falls away

	A missed appointment
	A sudden reunion

	and simple care might fall away

	But I will fall to meet you
	And you won't fail to show
	It's all so simple
	When you steer the boat you row

	We all remember country music
	What it feels to feel so sad
	And I shall let
		the
		  love
		   of
			lovers
			 ever 
			   flow.

Before
Be
for 
me.......
Before a cluttered existence where nothing
Serves to tell me I'm a human feeling
Save for certain instances recounted in the 
wind
I 
find I feel more for a reason now
than ever why is now a monolith
searching to destroy me
and words just seem to be the same
I read the invitation and I came
And it's a shame

Who am I, Lord why am I crying
Six months, certain poems past
I hurt
I feel good
I gotta make the moment last

and

who am I to tell you who I am
and

who are you.
