      *Not every poem included in this book is dated in chronological order. This is not an oversight on my part. Rather, I have made changes and substitutions over the years.

      -J.L.S.

      I made it thru all thanks to you

      And the good that

      You have done.

      Now that may heart is won,

      We have nothing to do

      But celebrate all the good things

      That have blessed our lives

      And made them rich to

      Combine us into one.

      I want to run to you so that

      I can hold you in my arms

      And never let (you) go!

      Tell me you can see all

      The wonders that I am

      Trying to portray; you are

      The light of the day that

      Breaks forth at a moment’s notice,

      My sweet love nested here.

      *dedicated to Travis Potts

      1/3/06

      Whirlwind romance,

      We will never have this problem

      Because we do not prescribe

      To this kind of song and dance.

      What others find important,

      We think it’s obsolete.

      I don’t need them telling me

      That a certain thing will

      Make me complete.

      We know what we have, and

      All that is fine and good to

      Provide for us as it should.

      *dedicated to Travis Potts

      1/3/06

      Down for the count,

      Beaten by my very own shame.

      I raise my fingers from where

      It was split.

      Washed back by my saliva,

      I try not to taste what may

      Be washed down my throat—

      Returned to be with what else

      Might be digested.

      I’ve never known shame like

      This before—my enemy looming

      Over me and laughing as he

      Watches me die inside.

      1/3/06

      Sly,

      You walked right by

      Before I even had a

      Chance to notice that

      You came my way.

      Why do you insist on

      Avoiding me, when you

      Know that you cannot hide forever?

      Hide from what you could

      For such a solid opinion—

      Something you could have

      Given time to before you

      Slipped away.

      This time, I won’t take

      The blame; I have nothing else

      To say.

      1/3/06

      Who would have thought that

      You could make it into an

      American night, so full of vice

      That it would not

      Take much time

      To make a normal person’s

      Head spin?

      You must be trying to get to

      The same place where everyone

      Else went some odd years

      Before you were born.

      You have no

      Time to rumble

      Before you mourn the loss of

      What is going to be.

      I cannot say that I agree,

      Although I might not blame you

      As I should.

      If all for the good

      Of the decency

      Of your heart, with which

      You did not find it hard to part.

      Nothing could be this prearranged—

      Deranged and stuck to some

      Oral agreement like glue;

      I do not envy you because all this

      Is only a dream.

      1/3/06

      Slow, like you are trying to

      Prolong the agony—like

      The peeling away of new skin.
