the words that we know
the voices that we hear
the faces we see, and don’t see
anymore.
My vocabulary is limited
there are sentences, I can’t speak
worries and fears
wrapped up
in words
like presents
given.
There is nothing worse, than walls—
ego defenses
protecting pain
and ordinary words, will not work
Submission, in a win-lose
situation
is off the board
because, we are both Kings.
It is easy
to be right
and be alone
It takes courage
not to fake
a win.
How many people are celebrating themselves?
They’ve spent their lives defeating
everyone, they meet
to make them small
to murder their accomplishments
to eat away
all decency, like acid
with gossip, and cutting words
a bitter tongue
celebrating itself.
This game
is losing pieces
we can’t get back.
We must not do, what others do
We must love, despite cruel words.
Love is Eternal
like a song that doesn’t stop
People need to hear the words, seldom spoken
the vocabulary, so difficult to speak.
The choice to give good gifts
is yours.
Love—is the hardest thing to do
it’s what the world needs
it will change you.
Just Poetry 
Oh yeah!! The zero-sum game in love or in life is always lose-lose, never win-win. 100% or nothing. At least that’s what I think … Dee
