The Tattoo (4/22/2020). -M.Weisgerber

Love, its time: take me, tame me, brand me, love me all
for its written on my chest, as well as the stars,
this little life, a line, a lie, seen, saw.

I should have listened then, did not know your flame, I
should have loved more as well, I
didn't know the game.

Broke these fists upon the ledge, didn't
ever really feel the same.  For the same mono
on my lungs, is the same slavery as your drugs.

So take me, brand me, hold me, all, for
I'm an oafish clown, fallen down:
drunk on a paupers caul.

Its time - I didn't know the simple words,
that I'd need to heed the call.
(take me, tame me, brand me, love me all)

Hard Sometimes (1/31/2020). -M.Weisgerber..

Its hard sometimes, but my love, shes worth it

Knowing that we arn't alone, seeing these thin streets 

or mighty lanes crammed thick along 

with so many voices, so many strong tales of overcoming;

Our time nearing, strong.  

So it's hard sometimes, my love

But each day to carry on feels worth it

Don't turn away, don't give in to the nightless day,

Tarry on, fight still, for we are forever always

Worth it.

Sometimes (Sept '19) - M.Weisgerber..

Its hard sometimes, but my love, shes worth it
Knowing that we arn't alone, seeing these thin streets or mighty lanes crammed thick along with
So many voices, so many strong tales of overcoming;
What joy!It's hard sometimes, my love
But each day to tarry on feels worth it.
