A Choice Never Made

If you never loved me,

 would life be easier

 would life be better

 

If you never loved me,

 would you have emptiness

 instead of joy and pain

 

If you never loved me,

 would moments vanish

 as wishes drag through the years

 

If you never loved me,

 would your heart be orphaned

  —by a choice never made

Saturday Morning With Laura

Filling my soul,

  I spent the morning with Laura

 

Tearing down barriers

   —within the magic of her words

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)

 

 

 

 1972 ‘Nittany Mountain’ Ladies Choice

 

Dancing to the music

  inside a mountain garage

    —Laura became my partner

 

Lost within her melody

  found within her words

    —never to be alone again

A Writer

If I wanted to show you what I see

 I’d be a painter

 

If I wanted to offer you salvation

 I’d be a preacher

 

If I wanted to play to your fantasy

 I’d be an actor

 

But I decided to give you more than that

   —I’m a writer
