Each Other

It was both of their faults
Not fighting hard enough
For the love that they deserved

It’s not all drudgery is it?
Of course the beauty hangs
In the distance

Maintaining the narrative
As it was in the beginning
Some kind of ice cream social
Sitting at the same table
A neighborhood of love

When do we return to
One another after all
Is said and done

The crowds have
All gone home

Left with each other
Trusting and loving
As lovers do

Not some sort of
Invidious manifold

Joy in the making
A dry corner for standing in
Mystical narratives

To Each Their Own

You know to admit that I was good
For you is very hard
Like you lost something
The competition has been won
It’s over that part is done
Liberated into my own
Though I made ground for you
To stand on to give great
It would be ever too much
To accept such love to open up
For to you it feels as if you
Soon would break
All the tears you cried
Ah at all the wrong times
I never could make sense
Of why I was the one in pain
Comforting you
It was my duty to take care
And in your way you took care too
And now we take care of ourselves
On either sides of moving glaciers
Beautiful sparkling blue
You know I sometimes wonder
What is it that makes people
So purely selfish
It’s a gift I think that is given
To those who need not give back
But only to themselves
Sometimes I wish I knew this gift
But mostly I just think that with it
I’d be lonely
