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
