You (Cher Ami)

You.
Talking to you
Made me forget the girl
I was supposed to be hitting on.
Your voice,
A melody,
Cigarettes, what once was to me.
Addiction, that I can't get enough of,
You.
My Cher Ami.

Kids

Its been awhile 
But I miss you my friend, 
Thoughts of our earlier years
Come crawling back to this weary head. 
Its been too long, 
Far too long, 
Leaving me in this lonesome dread. 
Memories etched and tattooed, 
Makes me smile 
Wishing I was a kid again. 
I am glad I got to know you, 
Be safe and well my friend 
For tomorrow, 
We will be those kids again.

Springtime in my Backyard

I lay down and
Greet the sun.
Read a book
While bees, around me, they hum.
I hear the birds chirping,
I see the flowers blooming.
With a glass of wine in my hand,
I observe this poetry in motion.
Natures beauty,
A flawless work of art.
My friends, life is not so bad
When it is springtime in my backyard.
