I have a few thousand poems, all of which I'd be willing to share! Go ahead! Take a risk! Love the world! Even love yourself!

Madmen


Only madmen love forever,
so open your window,
there's a moon flying somewhere tonight,
like a flag from a country
that we can't ever set foot in,
when we look up and paste our dreams
on the face of tomorrow or some other night.
Only madmen cry forever,
so open your door,
it's been too long in the coming,
and all the weatherstrips that were supposed
to keep out the storm,
have long ago dissolved,
besides, you can't keep out the sunlight
any more than the dark,
and it's been too many years,
since you have noticed,
that it's long been some other night.
Only madmen dream forever,
and bare feet only work
when dancing on clouds,
so put on your shoes
and come right on out,
there's plenty of pavement
and places to go to,
now that it's some other night.
