Another one:
Feelings start within.
You make yourself sad, not I.
Put your whip away!

Some Haikus:
Tears should be shedded
Like old skin or overcoats,
Not cherished like gifts.

Ashes
My dearest love,
As I stand here
Resisting the call
Of the air and ground
To yield you to their
Comfort I pause
To let you know
I never wanted
To hold you like this.
Not!
Like!
This!
And only then
Do I let you go.

An unwilling spouse cast, still vibrant
On the frigid funeral pyre
I chose to turn that rose into a gift
And gave it to a wide eyed waitress
As an unconditional gift of life.

Enough death and dark cold
I couldn't bury yet more beauty
So I spirited it off, cradled it
Until, stopping for hot tea
I chose to complete the rose and me.

Hovering over her final comfort
We stood, full of emptiness
As words flew off
Like feathery migrants fleeing cold
The roses rained into that stark pit
Like suicidal lovers.

Tuesday's are precious to me
Because of my son.

Had some great insights to share
But, like God, he's dead.

The brook tinkles its mischief
Anointing my toes.

Scratches at our door and we
Always let it in.
