Holding Hands

When they began
They held hands
They smiled
They illuminated the sky

Chairs were held
Giggles slipped freely
And the thought of
What base is a good one for this date

Time goes by
Rings were bought
Vows were said
In laws glare rivaling Spoke on star trek at Dr. McCoy

Every step in life taken
It was with a…Read More

  There is a motion, a movement to everything, to life. It has a direction and it is forward, not backward. For love to last, it has to change as the people involved change and as the world around them change. I have found this is how love, or any relationship, evolves, strengthens and continues. It is fun to remember the way we were, but even more…Read More

  I enjoyed this one. Without a doubt, if holding hands is how it ends…I would not change a thing.

  Beautifully penned, Fia. Excellent write with amazing storytelling my friend. Dig the Star Trek reference by the way. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.

  “Would you ever want the loop to end?“
  That’s a great, almost philosophical question. Some people like to escape a loop because they only see the endless repetition of the same actions. To me it holds the chance to experience new aspects of old routines on the basis of familiar facts. It’s adventurous and reliable at the same time.
  Great write, dear Fia!

  I recently had a co worker/friend who lost her husband. He was a young guy too. I read this feeling like you could have wrote this for them, and my heart breaks all over. Thank you for this sad beautiful read.

  Wow a lot of times if the love and bond is that strong it would be hard to live without them.
  I know a friend who recently past a few months after because he couldn’t live without his beloved wife.

  Finding a soul mate is hard enough in a lifetime but then losing them?
  Yes, that ending line does beg the question many people would agree to.
  Great piece.

  This is so beautiful. You still write to her.

    Yes, I still write. When we first met back in college, I began writing her love poems. One of her girlfriends asked me if I would always write her poetry and I told her and the woman I would marry, “I will always write you poetry”. But I stopped, “life” was my excuse. We did not last (5 years total), not because of the poetry, but we began to see life differently and she got a boyfriend instead of us trying to fix things. But, always writing her poetry became a metaphor for my mistakes in our relationship, the things that I did wrong and contributed to our splitting up. I was more the “typical man” and had to learn the hard way to consciously give that shit up. I have believed that it has been this learning process about patriarchy that has made me more humane and a better human being. So yes, I still write her poetry because I never want to forget and want to continue seeing women with mutual respect and equality, as full human beings. Thank you Fia for reading and your kind words.

  I just finished reading this and wow. It is so moving.
  Squeezes my heart while reading.
  And reading your reply to Fia made this piece even more special.
  I feel very lucky to have read this today. It’s fragile and beautiful all at the same time.
  Can’t say enough about it:)
  Thanks for sharing

    Thank you, Adelphina. I really appreciate your comment and happy you found it moving. I often think about her, how she’s doing, is she happy, wondering how her life has been. She has always held a piece of my heart. Thanks again, I hope you are well Adelphina.

MaryJane’s Last Dance

It was day 23 of Poetry Month
when you walked through the door,
And I said,
“Oh my, my. Oh hell yes”
as my eyes landed on
that party dress;
thigh high red with
a side slit stare, and
I was pulled into your sway.
MaryJane delights
played in my mind,
like how smoke and fog
swirled in kaleidoscope air,
and we be…Read More

Hello Me
It has been a while
You reached a plateau
traveling many miles

What you failed to do
Is see what is occurring around you

Or you’re choosing not
Not to see
Not to hear
Not to “oh my” share??

Me this can not be
Your voice and thoughts need..need..

To be set free
Free from the confines
Of societies vines…Read More
