please believe in love,
but have the respect to not
speak of it lightly

maybe I just need
someone who can lie to me
more convincingly

September 24, 2008, Heather writes: Oh I know this well, Howard. Very nicely done!

September 27, 2008, howard writes: Thank you both, though I guess the best liar is the one you don't even know is lying to you.

where hope’s fallen through
are some of the best reasons
for starting anew.

September 5, 2008, Jessica writes: Lovely words, but that photo made me sad.
September 5, 2008, howard writes: Thanks, Jess. I guess sadness was sort of the point. After all, we tend to ignore the need for change until we reach a point of desperation, don't we?

I am not the me,
not the me you thought I’d be,
not the one to set you free
and not the one you once believed
would stem the tides of seas.

I am more than me,
not the one you had foreseen,
but just like you I had a dream –
a delicate contingency –
depending on a “we.”

August 31, 2008, PJ writes: It really does all depend on a "we" doesn't it?
August 31, 2008, Frank writes: It is "we." Wow.
August 31, 2008, howard writes: Thanks. I wasn't sure this one would resonate, because it was one of those things that occurred to me when I was really tired. But I'm glad I wasn't the only one to get it.
September 10, 2008, qazse writes: I love this poem.
September 10, 2008, howard writes: Thanks, Qazse. I thought it was fitting recently for several reasons.

mourning is for those
who wholeheartedly believe
there is no reprise.

morning is the time
hopeful souls rely upon
just before the dawn.
