Poem: Born Again
A supportive soul
Compassionate with good ear
Enduringly helpful and friendly
Supportive for the most part
Flexible yet not breakable
Approachable to the end
© T. Altman 2017
Poem: April Fool
Open heart and open mind
A cassim leaping into the unknown
Childlike expectations increase as you go
They think you foolish
Trusting in your fresh start
Pure newness on the increase
Things are on the upswing kid

Poem: Alternative Currency
Some say its better than love
Some say its better than money
Some say its worth much more
Than being lonely
It sells more than anything
It makes more than anything
Its valued much more
Than everything perishing
Is it kindness?
Is it trust?
Is it loyalty?
No…its simply lust.

Poem: A Chance To Shine
I wish
I could go back
In time
Appreciate you
Know you
Be you
Faultless lunacy
Yet upstanding
Source of radiance
Silver Goddess
Your shine has dulled
Your twinkle has gone
Your spark rays dismantled
Light captured
Shared
Eternally emblazoned
Memoriam aglow

Poem: A Tribute To The Prioress Part II
Hollow-checked whore
Grappling for more
Pinched and prodded
Bled but not bothered
Heart perpetually a stone
Will inevitably end up alone
