Sessions

Hello again it's you and me,
coffee for you and words for me.
Fresh paint on my walls and a thousand stories,
Of ups and downs and flailing glory.
A nervous laugh and you tell me,
Of childhood ghosts and new found fears.
On reckless nights down we go,
Opening ourselves and mixing tears.
But now our time is done ,
we go into life and oblivion .

In this moment , if we chose to stay,
We'll build our bridges and barricades.
Time and place won't mean a thing,
A thousand years or decades.
That was there time, this is our place.
We won't be lost cuz we've been saved.

Hello again, it's you and me,
kinda how it used to be.
Been so long since you've seen me,
I've got new stories and new memories.
So pick one gem hanging in the air ,
as we go into conversation.
Sailing uncharted waters ,
of our begginings and our ends.

  7. Story time is time out of time, I think. And to have recurring sessions sounds like a blessing to me. I hate when staying seems to ruin everything.

  13. I enjoyed the conversational tone you struck in this piece. The slip-'n-slide rhyme (my word for it) is really done well and carries the poem along quite compellingly.

  14. Building bridges and barricades. A wonderful metaphor!

  15. “We'll build our bridges and barricades.” This line says so much about life, relationships, and living...

  16. Life can sure fly. "Bridges and barricades" I had to do the barricade part last year with someone. I'd built too many bridges.

  17. How about coffee and words for both of us! I like bridges more than barricades. Thanks.
