others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

for mom

i wish
i could jus wrap my arms around you
and take all you pain away
i'd gladly take it all
the worries, pain - both physical and mental

i wish
i could jus touch your forehead
and erase all the wrinkles
all the proof for the years of strife
and all the sacrifice

i wish
i could jus kiss your cheek
and put a smile back on your face
for where only smiles stayed
now seem to have gone forever

i wish
by being me...by doing something
by doing anything
i could make your life a little bit easier
for all the selflessness
thats the least you deserve
