you.

...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

These pieces are extracted from my book of prose, “50 truths and 50 lies, the first 50 years.” Available Here

you. belongs to the following groups:

# 1 ARTISTS OF REDBUBBLE , "Poetry and Beautiful Women" , All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Everyday Life, Masterpieces: Literary Workshop, Safe Haven, WMG and Woman Appreciation

you are in my thoughts.
not obsessively so,
but when i need you,
you are there,
for me.

hidden away in my heart
ever so close.
