I don't deny I love the way you look And though it's said to be but shallow praise Just one encounter was all that it took. The time has passed, now: all the years, the days, And still I love to see you being you, With all your many attitudes, and ways. For what's most beautiful is what is true: Not posing, but existing, as you are, And how engrossed you are in what you do. We have been through a lot, and we've come far: You're still my day's bright sun, and night's best star.

In moments spent reflectively there's beauty; simple times when thoughtfulness shows the deep mystery within

The Model Life (1)
My wife used to be a model, But then she grew to hate The profession as demeaning What it pretends to celebrate. And yet, she'll say in passing That it wasn't always bad; That for paychecks and for travel She was really very glad -- I know it's not simple, like Brief sunlight in bad weather: But many things in life consist Of good and bad Together

trustworthy
every 90 minutes another virtue poem; i'm nothing but trustworthy, a type of jeroboam that holds a lot of nothing in the bottle that's this blog -- where you can trust each poem won't be all that long a slog

tolerant
we tolerate most anyone who'll join in and discuss whatever might be on their mind -- if that agrees with us. for with our type of "tolerance" there's no one quite a hero, since now, we rarely use the word unless it's led by "zero" -- but maybe it's still possible to brook some disagreement: and let those others think their thoughts and just not be vehement

thoughtful
being thoughtful isn't easy; people really can be bears, but, we have to keep our heads, and not be taken unawares. so remember, when it's sticky, honey's better than a knife: just be thoughtful when you're able, and you'll lead a better life

social
according to this list
of positive character traits
i have been using,
being "social" is one of them.
i don't know;
i guess i'll take
their word for it.
the word has come to have
odd connotations;
as we are discouraged
from being social in any
of the traditional ways.
the preferred method of
being social today, is
to be what was called
anti-social just last year.
but anyway,
being social is a virtue,
because its on this list
and i couldn't have found the list
if someone hadn't been social enough
to post it.
so there.

sincere
it is a joy to be genuine, to love and freely show it; the let the world see the inner you is a gift when you bestow it for some are genuine in remorse, and others in complaining, but the truly sincere show everything and manage without feigning
