Three Poems: "Silent Love," "Dust!" & "Poet of the City"

Silent Love


To love
silently love
is painful
(raw
tender);
you feel like
your always
in a corner.
You want to
approach
or wish you
had…
the silent opposite
the unknowing
opposite.
Still holding
onto
that silent love
holding on,
with both
hands.
You don’t
even hear the
noises around
you
(coming in
or going out)!
There you are
with her—,
content
as a bear
with honey;
not even
a word said…
in this
romance.
A flat road
to nowhere!...

Dust!


As I’ve traveled throughout the world and such
Now being in old age, I don’t remember much
Along the way, a few kind and mysterious faces
The rest has turned into shadows and dust!

Poet of the City
(Haiku)

When the city loves you
then, and only then,
will you be written in stone

(as a poet)!
