She bent down to breathe in a rose,

But leaves got in her way.
The dirt soon, too, soiled her nose –
Still wet from break of day.
(How wild and okay!)

You wanted something natural

I wanted something real
Real good smellin’
Soft and smooth, habitual
Consensual, the lie
We’re tellin’?
I’m no good
At tellin’
Your Symphony
Your footsteps create heartbeats as we walk
Josyift 2022
While melodies reverberate to my ears
From all your words and laughter as we talk
So certainly I love your symphony
Lost in N.Y.C.
When all your money’s gone, my love’s still free

In a city far too big for you and me.
It’s cold and windy down these wild streets
But we’re lost – and we’re in love –
in N.Y.C.
Does Somebody Know?
He plays guitar while she is far away
Josyift, 2022
After his day has brought a hurricane
She gives a prayer and he’s not there today
How everybody has to feel the rain.
