They said they made an odd couple.
They said they shouldn’t hold hands.
They said if they stopped for reason,
They would understand.
They said they weren’t compatible.
They said it will never last.
They said a man with a woman
Clash with too much contrast.
They said it was doomed to fail
And should not be allowed.
But they loved one another,
And love should be proud.

Once deception gains hold
And defended
As gold
It becomes a routine
For mis-truths
To be sold.

There is no need to sneak
Or take the long way around
You’re invited to step on
The green grassy ground.
Such a lovely reminder
That lawns are to be used
It’s a warm friendly offer
That I shall not refuse!

When there’s no doubt in your heart
And truth is quite compelling,
Be firm
Be kind
And speak your mind,
For sooth is worth a telling.

Not exactly preventive
And yet he sure looks to me
Like Smokey Bear’s evil cousin
Holding fires to be.

May you light the sky
With color
Not with pain.
May you fill all hearts
With freedom
Not disdain.
May the booms resound
Within
To offer hope.
As the boons of
Independence
Widen scope.

Mom always told him to put his best foot forward.
So he did.
He pulled it off and placed it in front of his wheelchair. It was the shorter prosthesis, the one that didn’t need straps around the hip to secure and the one he could even put a bit of weight on. Well, on good days, at least.
A sigh climbed in his chest, but he shook it off, took a deep breath, arranged the cardboard sign, and began:
“Oh say, can you see?…”

In the heat
Of the desert
In the heat
Of the fight
They will spar
Under swelter
To claim heat
With their might.

They’d split and stacked
A fortress,
Yet left one
Round and fine
Out of line
Blocking sun.
Mayhap to trick evil eyes
Lest perfected design
Impels the next cord
Undone?

Despite it all, she knew
It was not meant to be this way,
Bereft of tether.
Despite it all, she understood
Wrong won’t hold sway
Forever.
So despite it all, she prayed
Easier breaths will soon be drawn
Together.
