      Love Letters

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      A Walk in the Dark - Samantha Calvert

      Oh Eggs

      We shared a plate of eggs

      But he had only loneliness

      A plate meant for two

      As he sat on the other side

      Alone and egg-less.

      Home

      I went home tonight

      To walk those self same concrete steps

      Amazed my feet carried me so familiarly

      Searching for answers to a troubled mind.

      Regretting things left undone,

      Though never my greatest love.

      Alone I walked

      With heart in hand

      Letting the flickering lights

      And blessed silence

      Ease my troubles and wrap me in love.

      Yes, home is where the heart is

      Home to my tall, stoic friend

      Completely Insane

      Knit
