Defending against invasion
Where things have no date of expiration
No wrinkles would be forming
On a person without age
Who opened the book but never turned the page

With no changing faces to face
The sky never brightens
The birds in their summer
Never fly, and never die
No season nor weather
Can change the colors
I've come to prefer
Wounds don't heal here
They get comfortable
Make themselves at home
In this place I call home

Sometimes another.
In fact the elder,
But at heart the younger.
Who are you, I wonder?

With time looming darkly
In its way,
I'm going over what I need to say.

Each one facing the other
After the long ordeal is over
They quietly sit down together

For all the years to come,
Merry Christmas, happy New Year,
Get well soon.
And most importantly of all,
For leaving you so early,
I'm sorry.
Signed: your cherished one,
Sincerely, with all my love,
My handwriting.

I'm writing you this card
To tell you that I love you
One last time
Or maybe for the first time;
Did I ever tell you that
In my life?
I'm writing you this card
To tell you congratulations
And happy birthday.

He escapes my mind's eye
His essence, a blur
Of a sparkling-eyed smile
An inner joy bursting
Forth from inside

Severed friendships
Estranged kinships
Dated hopes, faded jokes
Careful curation
Of gifts never given
