“Bond”
Combined perspective,
singular experience,
form one memory.

Misplaced Missive #12 – Knowing
Even though this is listed as number 12, this is the real first missive. I wrote a letter to a good friend after finding out a dangerous secret when we were 15 or 16. Once I had crumbled the loose-leaf I had been carefully wording my concerns on, and resigned myself to silence, I broke out a five star spiral notebook and scribbled this out a handful of pages in. It’s 12 only in that that was how many pages I buried it into the notebook that would soon become the home of all 215 misplaced missives.

It would break you to know,
And it would break me to say. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #12 – Knowing”

“History”
Once in a time span,
we connect in love, laughter,

It’s sort of romantic the way old friends can connect with each other. Even after a decade or more, I still manage to find little sparks of humor and love with people I do not always see or interact with regularly. There’s a certain comfort in that, but also a sad longing. I think both of those feelings contribute to a more content life.

Time lapsed but it’s like none has passed
A journey of forever for a story
With details already memorized
I’m not surprised –
These are the friendships that last. Continue reading “Friendship Pt. II – JG”
Color Schemes – Not All That Glitters Is Gold – JG
Many like you strive
To have a heart of gold.
Weak and malleable,
But appealing to hold.
I’d prefer a heart of obsidian.
Honest about its blackest sin, Continue reading “Color Schemes – Not All That Glitters Is Gold – JG”

“Road”
The road winds ahead
But together we may go
Hold my hand a while

Misplaced Missives #135 – Friendship
Shut lips tightly and tread lightly
Never confess and always be dishonest
Speak slowly and keep focused
Only on what they can bear to hear Continue reading “Misplaced Missives #135 – Friendship”
