Janus

Imagine time
with heavy hands
that crush and mar.
Imagine time
with healing hands
smoothing out our scars.

Coming up short

A penny dreadful second chance
mixed with a dollar store romance…
Why do you think that friction
will improve your fiction
when it’s too shallow to enhance.

Love remains

Oh, how I watch you with pride,
my once-blushing bride.
In the years I’ve been gone
while you fought to stay strong,
I never left your side.
