"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present." --Marcus Aurelius


in the soft warm
after understanding each
other just a little better
and it began to rain
little grey kisses
on cold cement
melting the final
untold
affection between
maybe it's a little too
late or
too early
to tell
but as the gentle slate sky
of a summer's
beginning sets gently
in the inlet's arms
I will lean
into your invisible
comfortable presence
and
think of how you
shine

"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

“Crazy people are considered mad by the rest of the society only because their intelligence isn't understood.”
― Weihui Zhou

I definitely love this one. "little grey kisses"—best line of the poem, in my opinion. And how you express your deep love for this poem. You have a talent for expressing emotion without becoming overly emotional. 5 stars.
