Lies Sarah Told Me



The truth never
needs an alibi
and in between
your secrets
come the lies
pitch black
i realize
he is thoughtless
she is careless
im just less
nothing new
nothing to do
nothing to impress
she only likes wine
forever?
til the end of time?
or even a friend of mine?
she builds
she destroys
she heals
she toys
she wants a girl
and a boy
and to employ
she boosts my ego
and steals my joy
and to her surprise
when i look in her eyes
i see her secrets
and her lies
now im despised
and he is counsel
she never leaves
til she knows
where shes going

Loving Lies

The 5 People Who Make Life Heaven

They listen when you need to talk Talk when you need to listen They know your darkness Let you know theirs Without judgement and expectation You can talk to them about how you see things They don't get angry or anxious when you disagree Trust you enough to say what they really think Read tweets and novels Never make you beg or grovel Won't allow it Remind you that you're better than that Lay some of their burden on you Let you behind their wall Feel welcome behind yours You feel each other with heart and mind Even if you don't explain yourself  They get you You get them These are the ones that make life worth living Make you love to be alive Reflect you to you Teach and learn Some days the lead singer Some days the band These are the ones You can count on one hand (c) Ron Kennedy 

Poetry Tree

I saw no birds grieve No fallen leaves No branches on the ground None made a sound It wasn’t rotten It didn’t die in a storm Capitalism came In its progress form To take one of my last  Best refuges from me I may be the only one who noticed The death of my poetry tree.

Stargazing
