Tom Beener Poems

Too clever by half
Yet fully alone

Dinner and drinks
...

I'm marching in circles
Curious to me

I'm marching in circles
...

Smitten with her or
was it smitten by

Yes she's the one who caught my eye

Do only I see her?
...

Why is she silent?
How hard can it be?

To share a thought
...

I regret not asking
But she seemed remote

I should have spoken
...

I am telling you
I am here

I wish I knew
Where you are
...

a little too old
She, s a little too young
The thoughts I think
Her thoughts are young
...

i know a girl named Taylor Jane
She loves herself, it's clearly plain
I moved too fast and I moved too slow
Her expressions deceitful, her lies unknown
...

i am thinking of hiding from the things I see
I close my eyes and yet it's still me
I travel a bit but never leave
The things I see I continue to be
...

There is a girl in my mind who should be my friend
She knows I am here
But not where I am
...
