Your love #assures me
That tomorrow isn't written
We will endure all

‘Dad, my therapist said I might be having insecurity issues because I didn’t get a lot of validation. Are you proud of me?’
‘I can #assure you, I couldn’t ask for a better son.’
‘Aww, thanks.’
‘I tried to, but they said I was stuck with you.’

travelling to and from
this super commuting life
longing to see you
in a moment on the train
Assure me work is worth it

I #assure you,
Hell is frozen at its heart.
If you hear
the lowest deepest guttural boom
a pulse
like a beat on a planet-sized drum
made from the thickest skin
stretched thin
The great thaw has begun.
No, running won't help.
Dazed and confused
our hero once self #assured
stumbles in the midst
of this endless eclipse
All comforting assumptions
about the power of truth
and justice
have been choked off
by the clinging
advancing ivy vines
rising up from the muck
of shit fertilized
social media ignorance

He tried to #assure her that they will meet again but his eyes betrayed the truth. She blinked back tears as she said goodbye and they turned to walk through opposite directions. He stopped and took one lingering look at her retreating figure before he went through the Hell sign.

How rare are those times
We walk with gracious power
Every footfall a soft echo of eternity
Every sideways glance to our admirers
A smile inducing laughter in our eyes
Oh, they happen, yes they do
They happen to us all
We may not remember
We all had time
To walk the world assured
"Stalkers? Peeping Toms?" She pressed her fingertips to her head, massaged the burgeoning ache there. “My life is out of control.”
“Not with me around. I can #assure you, no one is watching you now.”
“You’re watching me.”
“I’m watching out for you, there’s a difference.”
“Is there? Really?”

Another life may hold the peace this restless heart has sought,
A canvas stretched with different skies, with wonders here unwrought.
No prophet can assure us what the boundless dark conceals,
But somewhere, in another turn, the soul completely heals.

I'm so very sorry to hear you
feel that way. I'm me. I'm not perfect.
I know that I have my faults and yes I do
lack confidence, but I assure you
I'm genuine, please believe me.

Just as I’m texting my wife
(Before dawn here, 9 and a
Half hours later in India)
About our dog Lenny who
Has been struggling with
Poor health, and she’s trying
To assure me that all will be
Well, she passes this sign for
Leonard Lane, a literal sign
From every deity: Trust me.

I'm glad I could nudge your creativity, Liz.
#vss365 Fast friends, their relationship had become an intoxication. ‘Damaged & dowdy’ met ‘flamboyant & fussy’ ...
After multiple judgements in Clare’s favour and numerous #assurances of repayment, she received a pittance of what was owed. ...
Thank you for having me, Lee.
Thank you, Mo.
Thank you, Zachary.
Thank you, Chris. It's been fun.
Impossible to
Assure children of safety

Your mouth near mine,
that slow breath at my throat—
no promises spoken,
but the heat of your hands
assures my body
you meant
to stay.
I had a great time, as well.
I have enjoyed it.
