Opening Your Heart’s Memories: Romantic IMprov Poetry

Thanks for being/
my Muse this evening! /
I’d like to spend time, you and me,/
creating and exploring our mutual poetry!
——-
So now stand/
with open heart/
and open hands/
and desire to start/
all over again./

For the dream/
which lived long ago/
could again be seen/
if passion’s taken slow/
and gently./

Emotions which we /
deep within us carry,/
can be released./
If our passions tarry;/
they’ll often increase!/

Thus, that which was ours before/
will sprout, grow and blossom once more!

Caring: Romantic Email Poetic Lament

She claimed she cared for me

but what did she ever see

of my kids’ agony?

My lack of destiny?
My parents elderly?

Courtroom travesty?

Lack of money?

My self-destructive propensity?

She only cared

that for her I was there

when she was needy.
