When The Boy Said "I Love You" - Poem by Darren Huston

When The Boy Said "I Love You"

When the boy said.
"I love you"
I nearly wept the tears which have been filling since the last one left,
Unsure of my feelings I turn away and look to the ground,
Searching,
For something,
To distract myself,
I see the garbage, with the used wrappers from our affairs,
Wondering, maybe that's why,
Because why would a boy love me for any other reason but my body?
Because I have been taught to beware those three words,
For those are the words which are spoken when he wants more,
More than your touch,
Or cress,
But your lips,
His, on you hips,
For when the boy said "I love you"
I was confused and concerned,
Because why would he,
Could he,
Love someone like me.

Love Between The Friends - Poem by Darren Huston

Love Between The Friends

Just before we took that final leap,
From childhood into something else,
We once again called a truce.

As the days and weeks go by,
So few, I find, are what they seemed.
But you, I know,
I wish to keep close to me.

There've been many years and changes,
Yet, somehow we've made it though.
Always friends, again, in the end.

Poem by Darren Huston — A Truth Of Passing

A TRUTH OF PASSING ~ DARREN HUSTON

Life comes, life goes, this and more we know.
But do we see, why it goes?
Friends stay, friends leave, if only by who’s heave?
True friends they do never leave.
Family is, family was, is there ever a because?
Why must pass what is and was?
Pain it stings, pain it bites, pain it takes away all might.
Such a hopeless, hopeless fight.
What departs, what remains, what does constant effort gain?
What cause is worth more than pain?
Nothing lasts, no things pass, Nothing has such great a mass.
Do not forget, this too shall pass.
