Forward thinking
If you want to make
the world a better place,
start by thinking small.
You’d be surprised just how far
a drop of kindness can go.

Write one leaf about being naked.
I can’t really say
I’m comfortable showing
myself to people.
For some reason I’m worried
that I’ll end up getting hurt.
Forget-me-not
What are my colors?
What’s the nature of my words
that are not spoken?
What is it I want to say…
How do I want to say it…
No matter how small, it means something to me
A burning skyline,
a day’s weight on my shoulders,
a night’s weight to come,
followed by some fleeting sleep.
Where is the value
hidden in this daily dance?
It can be found in
a stone, tree, a drop of rain,
and in every grain of sand.
Loot whore
I’m glad I didn’t
stay up too late yesterday
and wear myself out.
I had a blast staying up
tonight with some online friends.
Tired and achy
I feel like I am
teetering on the edge of
picking up a cold.
I know I should get some rest
but I’d rather stay up late.
Dance with the devil in the seat of my chair
A weekend that’s spent
in idleness can be good
every now and then.
But do it too often and
you’ll have catching up to do.
Exclusion
If you cast me out,
I would live, if only to
rebel against you.
And if you tried to kill me,
I would grieve for you
but I wouldn’t show mercy.
And if, after that,
you treated me with kindness,
I’m not sure I would trust you.
Inclusion
If you called for me,
I’d take to the road for you
and walk through fire.
If you made a home for me,
I’d take up my sword
and strike down a god for you.
If you bored of me,
I would open up my chest
and then trouble you no more.
Not-so-common courtesy
Anyone know how
to let someone down easy?
I sure as hell don’t.
Sometimes I’m entirely
too nice for my own damn good.
