for Christopher
introduction
I like to write about things that make me emotional
I am not really a concept poet
I agree with learning the art
but I insist on staying connected
with matters of the heart.

For Christopher
---------------------
One hand counted
The people always there
Its five or below
Not so many in life
To share any thought
obscure
Obscene
Serene
Pure
Make no matter
always there
For you
call upon them
your midnight hours
a cower of a moment
When strength is running out
one chipped cup of coffee
for everyone’s imperfection
matters not the vessel
but what is within
a silent wall upon
they ask for nothing
sat silent
with one eye upon
A watchdog
Unselfish
knowing you don’t mean it
spit a little venom
better that way
pour it out
No fear of judgement
Say it
In the moment shout
For mine is an ear of steel
i shall illustrate you
through which paint you positive
to celebrate you.
be there for you
when wave passes
cloaks and classes in life
we all need them.
The trouble piled against the door
he shovelled it
A demon raised his head,
demonstrably
he
smothered it
this lesson Feels like security
All woven
I can lay down now brother
Once untangled the woe
a friendship thread runs through

I love these words... so true... so profound...
