You saw me as just
A part of your day. To me,
You were my day.
Blast from the past:
You already wrote
Your book. I’m just the guy you
Needed to insert.

07/19/26 A New Poem for a New Day
Because I did nothing,
Because I did too much,
Because I did not intervene enough,
Because I interjected too much,
I am leaving your because
Blast from the past:
You had a lot to say
When you were telling me what to do,
And now that I establish no,
Nothing
07/11/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
The truly deep ones
Create life around them and
Strive for all to thrive
Blast from the past:
Out of your healing
Cascades forward more healing
For those around you
07/10/26 A New Aphorism for a New Day
Mercy is not the opposite of desire. It’s the form desire takes when you let it breathe.
Blast from the past:
I am neither the
First, nor am I even one
But one of many
07/09/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
When did you decide
That you were too small for such
An enormous love?
Blast from the past:
When you throw a stone,
I am the one who feels the
Ripples go through me
07/07/26 A New Poem for a New Day
Every time we talk,
I feel like I can’t
Recognize who you
Once seemed to be
Blast from the past:
So many thoughts rush
Through my mind. Unsorted, yet
Each fight for my time.
07/04/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Falling in love is easy
Is there anyone really worth
Staying in love for
Blast from the past:
You can’t buy my love
But you could try a little
Wouldn’t mind the attempt.
06/30/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
I fell in love once,
But I could not stay in love
With who you became
Blast from the past:
Walking in mistakes
Building and then rebuilding
It’s time to call it
06/17/26 A New Poem for a New Day
(The person who this poem is dedicated to will know who they are when they see it.)
I hope you can
Give yourself the hugs
That I could never seem to give youI hope you can
Stabilize the life
I kept moving beneath you.I hope you can build
A place for yourself
I could never create with you.I hope you can give
Yourself enough space to be
In a world trying to snuff you out.I hope you can get
The anger to keep going
Even if it’s directed at me.I hope you can continue
To fail with a courage
I will never be able to muster.I hope you can laugh
In the way that
I never seemed to understand.I hope you can have
The adventures
I never had time for.I hope you can grieve
For what could have been
So that you never accept anything lessI hope you can see
Beyond the storm
At the life you’d love to live.I hope when you remember our time together
You remember it just fondly enough to keep going
But with just enough anger at me
To try to prove me wrong.
Blast from the past:
You
Me
You and me
You and me falter
You and me falter every day
06/05/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
We are like seashells,
Echoing the universe,
If you listen in
Blast from the past:
Talking and talking
Not listening to the world
Of the other
