Superman

You were stronger than I thought ..

Isn't it amazing

     how the heart works

How it breaks

     and mends

over and over again

I'm not frightened

I could hold you again

     but I won't

You never were my friend 

You never wanted me

But I'll get up

     I'll conquer again

for the night is my friend

and my heart will mend

All of my poetry comes from the heart.

I love the irony of man perceived to be physically weaker, more fragile than the camera superhero. He can lift weight of a ten-wheeler truck, a building, even drag the moon away from its place. But truth is, we are mightier, stronger than he is because our strength comes from within. My point: We are the real Supermen.
