I shroud myself within poetry
I elude others from what it is that they wish to see
the simple shadow of my sad spirit alone could easily
enough come to comfort the'
but not so that you would not be allowed to simply
just be
anything but yourself, alone
but only a little bit better merely because you
were/are and will be with me
put simply, I love you and you alone my love for now
tomorrow and for all of tomorrow's children and
grandchildren that we call day's sake..........
