2 poems by Pat Raia

Easy

It’s

 easy

to walk

 into

the ocean – 

 to gamble

 your

last 

 dime

to go

 crazy

when

 the 

screaming

 gets

too

 loud – 

but

 it’s 

practically

 impossible

 to love

what’s

 good

for

 you

~~~

Life savers

We’ve 

 been

trying

 to save

each other

 since

the 

 day

we met 

We

 fought 

a thousand

 fires

and 

 cried

a million 

 tears 

but

 we 

also

 laughed

out loud

 sometimes

and 

made love

 in

the kitchen

 until 

one day

 we

saved ourselves

 by going

our

 separate

ways
