this night

was to be
somehow different
but things
don’t always
work out
that way
this way
some way
and damn
the night air
feels good
on my numb
cheeks
and life
is what it is
as long
as it is

  1. Very touching…………..it’s funny, I’ve never been a great lover of poetry, adore Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas and Milton (not a shabby bunch I know!) but a lot of it seems very pretentious to me – but there is something about the way you write that I really appreciate.. 🙂

    • I know someone who has deleted the word plan from her vocabulary. Just going with the flow, as they say. But I’m not so sure that’s the best approach, or, for that matter, having only one approach. You plan, you adapt to change, and maybe you plan again. But ultimately it happens anyway.
