Douglas Goins Poems

From the time we breathe our first breath.


To the day we take our last.
...

never once in life was life not meant to be lived.
not to have felt pain, love, and loss.
never has it once given you that impossible moment.
but what if it did.
...

The way she looked at me.
Gave me my invitation.
So close her body heat warmed the parts of mine that were cold.
She leaned back.
...

In two seconds.
You caught my eye.
You placed yourself in my world.
And I saw you.
...

Truth is.
Life is something you can grasp.
It's not a game.
It's not a strategy.
...

I Could.
I could love you.
With all my heart.
And my entire mind.
...
