I Remain Alone

I see you in your dark place, Hibernating with your eyes aglow with white love, waiting. calling. I come to you and kiss you gently on your lips and look at you with love. You call me again and again. I come to you each time and place my lips upon yours and I whisper I love you. You finally awake into light and you hug me and call my name. People arrive and I disappear. ~LArry

I Want To Be... for you, from me, ~LArry

I want to be your favorite hello,
And I want to be your hardest goodbye.
I want to be the one who never makes you…

I want you to know.

I was finally free to be with one to be. Gave every last minuscule of love I had left to thee who was. Left squandered and discarded, Knew I was free to give all my love to one who I want to be. ~LArry

I'm off to try to dream, good night all. ~LArry

If I Could Tell You by W.H. Auden

If I Could Tell You by W.H. Auden

If I have showed something of myself to you, it is just for you, no one else and certainly not to be shared.For good reason.Told my kids many many times, you figure stuff out, you keep it to yourself.Becuase, all kinds of powers and peoples will seek too gain monetarlty for it or to control with it.Keep it to yourself and use it to help on the low low.~LArry

If only the USA and Russia could get along like this. <3 - ~LArry

If you could not speak to each other.

If you could not speak to each other, What would be left?

The way you look at each other,

The way you look for each other,

The way you feel each other.

In a sea of faces, adrift and alone,
Two souls wandered, searching for a home.
One, a star in the dark, a flicker of light,
The other, a shadow, lost in the night.
Through winding paths, their journeys entwined,
Each heart echoing a longing undefined.
A gaze met, a spark ignited within,
As if the universe whispered, "Let love begin." ~LArry

Like ships in the storm, they found solace near,
The whispers of comfort, banishing fear.
In shared laughter, tears gently dried,
Two broken pieces, now perfectly tied.
The lost found purpose, the lonely found grace,
In the warmth of each…
