New poem: Perfectly Broken

As regular readers of my Cogitations are well aware, I have my hands in many pies: Novels, Memoirs, videos, audiobooks, and CloudAge™ Author things. But first, and foremost, I am a poet, and I wanted to share my latest:


Perfectly Broken— Bacil Donovan Warren

Sitting on the lawn, at the breaking dawn,Happy in the company we keep;I bathe in your soul on that grassy knollWhile breathing the breath of my own.
Two people apart, but sharing one heart,Happy in the company we keep;As lovers we talk, as friends we will walk—And I breathe the breath of my soul.
Not perfect we are, but know from afar—Happy in the company we keep—That mistakes are made, and angers mislaid:And still will I breathe on my own.
For even if we are so meant to beHappy in the company we keep,Each of us now must learn how to adjustAs I keep the breath of my soul.
It comes from within, leaks out with a grin,Happy in the company we keep;Leave it unspoken: “perfectly broken”As I remain true to my soul.
