Three Times: The Charm For Me
My honey and I: A love story
A love story it is for me
He was a bachelor you see
We would be friends is all
that is what I thought afterall
a marriage had just ended
the divorce had gone forward
I was not sure I ever wanted
to do that again, I was haunted
by what I just came out of
but lucky for me, I could see
the benefit of our friendship for him and me
He was a big family guy
and grew up on a reservation and that's why
he had a lot of Native friends and more
He knew some Ojibwe and the humor
and teasing and that was so much fun
to have someone that I could relate to hun
We ride motorcycle together
depending on the weather
We have recovery in common
and that is so huge a bomb in
my mind. I am only ten years longer, big sigh
which is okay as he is 4 years older than I.
I love him, my honey bunny, sweetie pie
cutie bug, monkey guy, my love
Better than the other two and we fit like a glove.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Ms. Denise - I'm certainly not a Poet, but I so appreciate your offerings *I've subscribed to you and anxious to see what you may conjure up next. This love story caught my eye; I can certainly relate: I've written 'The Last Valentine' as a remembrance of my "Motorcycle-Mama ~ Fit." I'm not looking for accolades or contests rewards. I'm simply a retired self described "Goof-Writer" having fun with this; nothing more. - With Respect - Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, Cal 'Senior' Vocal Author
