"3 Poems About Relationships"

"Smiles"

So many moons
You see them...
all cut out,
don't you?
Do wear the armor
it's paid for you know...
it's for you.
You have such a knack
at seeing wide spaces.
I envy that part of you.
Wide spaces
be careful...
you know.
I've had a glimmer
of such spaces
rest on my cheeks,
move past my forehead...
a tearful experience.
Hope for arrival...
now I only look past smiles.

"I Noticed"

I thought I was secure
but I tripped
and noticed you had fallen long ago
alone.
I realized that if I hadn't tripped
I would never have noticed.

A note about the following poem:

I knew a couple who had broken up. They loved each other once; spoke softly; heard music when there was none; passion was obviously surging between them. But then as time went by they no longer loved each other like before. It happens right? Hopefully people can remain friends.

An acquaintance of mine was just thrilled to see this couples break-up. There are people like that ya know? But I let her know that this couple still remained friends and wrote this poem about it.

"They're Friends You Know"

They're friends you know...
entangled memories
extracting old memories
unleashed powers of camaraderie.
They're friends you know...
and in their hearts they hold hands.
But goals are uncertain
so easily obscured.
Beggars scramble
toward unconnected hopes
indulging in all the moments
that stars did not sparkle
or shoot forth
and though it may be uncertain
their today
after an emotional measuring
tomorrow they will say,
"We're friends you know."
