NO LAN is an Island

NO LAN is an island;

Every LAN is a piece of the network,

a part of the whole;

If any hardware fails to work,

the network is the less;

any hardware's death busies me,

because I am involved with the network.

(With apologies to John Donne)

Heartache

But the heartache never totally goes away.

Her body is gone,

but she lives in your heart,

Life for you goes on.

For her, it stopped, suddenly and tragically.

And you were left with pain and sadness.

She was buried

and you were had only memories of her

instead of her caring arms.

Instead you are left with life without her,

and a heartache that never goes away.

Blackness Again

I am falling into the depths.

The depths that I face blindly.

For blindly is how I handle the fall.

The fall into the blackness of my mind.

My mind that at times sees black and only black.

But the black is a choice.

A choice I make.

A choice to unmake too at the crossroads.

At the crossroads of my soul, I move.

Move on into the light and leave the blackness behind.

I promise

I promise to stay with you no matter how tired you are.

I promise to hold you while you weep

I promise your secrets to keep.

I promise to be here for you if you want

I promise you are no too deep for me.

I promise I will help you find a way out

I promise I will help you find the path again.

But will you promise me what I have promised you?

Tell Them

Tell them how you feel.

Tell them that you love them.

Tell them that you want to be with them.

Tell them that you want to live with them.

Tell them of your dreams with them.

Tell them your fears.

Tell them of your nervousness.

Tell them how you feel,

and find out,

find out how they feel.

Another Year.

Another year has almost come and gone.

So the start of a new dawn.

I wander down many a lonely path.

thinking of the years without wrath.

Looking for what I do not have.

Letting my frustration halve.

Looking forward to a new year

that will blossom with good cheer.

Doing Laundry

Doing laundry

is like having

unprotected sex.

You never quite know

till after it is done

how things come out.
