If I had been better
at making decisions
this black and white movie
would have more gray
and you would be here again on this
rainy day
for me to put my head on your lap
and sing the songs of youth
with the laughing tone of summer
shining its rays on you
and I
through the dusty window behind
the couch
where I first kissed your mouth
and smiled, shy


The author's comments:
I simply write in an attempt to communicate with others and to relieve the burdens life throws at us all. Most of my work is a healing process that I hope others can connect with. I have a strong dislike for titling my work, because the title belongs to the person reading the poem. It's not something I, as the author, feel I have a right to invent. Therefore, I number my poems.
