*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.
L’Enfant
Some child with his so-called family,
And very seldom, I must know
I can say that I have sympathy
For a being so small—
A being raised entirely the wrong way.
What will he grow up to see,
And what is he going to know?
Parents instilling backwards values,
Or instilling nothing correct at all
Such a shame to witness.
9/2/03
Now, my dear, I am back.
These months have taken
Something away, but my
Love for you has not disappeared
Or gone astray.
That is one thing which
Still remains the same,
Even though our visits are
Not quite as frequent.
I still make room in my heart
For you, so that part does not
Have to fear, but I hope you
Have done the same because
I know that we are destined
To be together, in this life.
Nothing else would be right!
1/6/04
You have trespassed down my lane,
But I do not mind.
Did you hurry as not to be seen;
Such a trivial thing you will find
Come out from your hiding,
For you have nothing more to fear.
I will not bite, unless you want it,
And I can see from your eyes
That you might like it.
Nothing I can do seems to faze you,
Which could be seen as the
Beauty of it all.
C’est la vie,
C’est l‘amour.
1/6/04
Ah, now I have seen the one
Who has tried to run away;
All these years have proved
To be unsuccessful.
Why does everyone have to be
So afraid of the things that
Are most unlikely to happen?
Outside, the dogs can smell
Fear
