I do not deserve
Your #generosity
Your kindness
Your empathy

All I can
Promise
Is to take
These tools
And build something

Beautiful

#vsspoem

02/02

You offer
Your soul
To #flatter
The Gods

But there is
No
Interest

Their wish
For you
Is to find
Their soul
In yours

#vsspoem

02/03

Cold and alone
I’ve spent these years
Mourning her loss
Fighting the tears

Words cannot say
How grateful I am
That you have #awakened
This moribund man

#vsspoem

02/04

To make you see
What you mean to me
A message with spice
Will still not #suffice

Nor goods from the store
You deserve so much more
Two lovebirds that coo
A picture I drew
I give these to you

#vsspoem

02/05

A life spent
Waiting for
Something

Seasons pass
In the blink
Of an eye

Where did
The time go?

Be the #change

#vsspoem

02/06

So much greed
So much avarice
So little
Compassion

Imagine the peace
When you learn
You have to
Give to #live

#vsspoem

02/07

I sit alone
Trying to rein in
The #fear of failure
Should I talk to you

The intensity
Is matched
By your #fear
That I will never
Approach

I shatter the wall
To find out
How stupid I was

#vsspoem

02/08

I had no clue
You’d see me
A #second time
After I spilled
That plate

Who knew you thought
Clumsy was cool

#vsspoem

02/09

Practice
Exercise
Healthy food
Rest
Repeat

The cycle
Never
Ends

Entropy
The #enemy

#vsspoem

02/10

The start
Is but a #ripple
But enough join in
And it becomes a wave

You can do anything
With effort
And coordination

Destroy
And laugh today
Or build
And enjoy forever

#vsspoem

02/11

There she is
Again
Sunlight and flowers

Going over my lines
A #zillion times
Waiting for
The right moment

That never comes

#vsspoem

02/12 – 02/15

Skipped

02/16

My trust
Betrayed
For the last time

You will not
Hear me #beg
For your favor

The time
For optimism
Is over

#vsspoem

02/17

The future we sought
Was true so it ought
To be in your #thoughts

But you were caught
Tying the knot
Our love turns to naught

The pain you have brought
Lessons are taught
Destiny hot

#vsspoem

02/18

The storm is coming
Pressure #gradient
Riles the wind

The young men scurry
To board up the windows
Gale
Hail
Darkening skies

Here she comes…

#vsspoem

02/19 – 02/20

Skipped – medical

02/21

Carefully placed
The #bait is cast
Awaiting the
Chilean strike

The rod bends quickly
His patience exhausted
Must settle for a damn Northern Pike

#vsspoem

02/22

Rage
Vitriol
Resentment

Lashing out
Stronger
Than a #force
Of nature

Some live
In fear
Others in
Amusement

As you words
Dissolve Into nothing

#vsspoem

02/23

How will I ever
#Censor my thoughts
With your beauty
Standing
Before
Me

My love for you
Knows no bounds
Even as
You
Cast
Me
Aside

#vsspoem

02/24

Allow me
One #question
Before you
Leave

If I died
Tomorrow
Would your world
Be

The same?

#vsspoem

02/25

For years I knew
Deep down
There was something
Missing

Something soft
Yet strong
Something wise
Yet fun

I will always
Cherish
The day
You stepped
Into my being

Now I am #complete

#vsspoem

02/26

I value
Your #honesty
Despite its
Savageness

The words
I need
To hear
Through
My pride
And tears

#vsspoem

02/27

Why

Why do those
Who use
The words
“On your #honor”

Have none?

#vsspoem

02/28

I noticed
The change
In your
Manner

Unable
#Unwilling
Eyes astray

How can I
Make it right
When I
Don’t know

What’s

Wrong?

#vsspoem

02/29

It took
A lifetime
Of searching
And waiting
And
Hoping

To understand
The basic truth
No one
Can make me
#Happy

But me
