Smoker 25

Like a perfect
gentlemen, hat tipped, tongue
to lip and smiling
at your humble everything
shooting out of your face
like angel wings and I could kiss you
right now, if there wasn't more work to do.

What Are You to Me

"Do you imagine your sufferings will be less
because you loved goodness?  Truth?"

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
I am so glad
that we are friends
right now
and the foreseeable future

because I know we would make
terrible enemies,

the likes of which
end lives
in short order.
That's what you are to me.
I can only hope
I am as serious
sometimes
to you.
