Only in dreams, a proof appears again;
A distant past, still embers. Whispers the name.
And more, rekindles flames, it melts my head.
A feeling, though fleeting. Fervor or bane?
The dread of knowing, you are only dreams.
Awake, I pine to fall again to dark.
A reverie to pull from my frayed seams,
And catch ablaze this lonely, long lost spark.
So now I ask, why you appear this time?
I try to find a meaning, logic’s curse.
Will answers be in me or you to find?
I’ll wait for which will speak unto me first.
I take your touch, your voice, with me to dawn,
Pretending they were true, although you’ve gone.
And patience will revive the warmth you bring,
That burns my soul to black, and makes it sing.

Out of the formless void
Shining forth like an asteroid
The shooting star
A wish upon my heart
Edges of a dream
Overlap upon the seams
Staining the world in light
Through the windows of my eyes
I see you
Deeper parts of deeper truth
You see me
Leaning into this gravity
Sifted to find the finer gems
You, most precious among them
And I, stumbled upon
This - The Loveliest One

She winked at me...
Through the northern breeze,
Carrying the oil
For the painting I'd breathe.
Climbing the boughs,
I gently waved.
Over stately lines,
Above their leafy train.
My bedded Sun,
Lay behind hill's crest.
Wayward moon pining,
Empathizing with mine.
Before the stars came running,
A counsel to the lonely bodies.
I left that artful canopy.
Smiling, I think,
"She thought of me."

Silver-stained clouds
Edges over a waning afternoon
Lost in thoughts, a secure shroud
To sift emotion's swoon
Sighs dripping in confusion
It was a flash of a dream
A mystic, unseen illusion
Yet, more real than everything I see
Clinging to my faith
In the evidence
I am unable to explain
Sanity sparing no expense
I still hear its ring
The soft hum within
Resonating harmonies
From souls of melodic beauty

Consciousness
Makes the crawl
Long before the body
The light haze that lifted
Is now a dense, heavy fog
Gently I
Swim down the hall
In awe,
How still the morning,
And still more
Submerged in slumber
Sleep cradles
But soon, a release
Into the thousand pound mist
And crawl
They will crawl
Searching for the day
With her open arms

“Paul’s dilemma”
A headline of my life
Hidden passions of doing
The things I ought not
While the things I should
Exacerbate a shyness of action
I drain the precious resource
Like a religion I’ve committed
Lord knows my vices
And time as always
A fox beneath the vine

Pessimistic trails,
A mosaic of failure on our backs.
Somehow the chaos formed a pattern,
Thinly veiled by time.
Point between,
Raging forward - endless.
Even so we are hidden inside this gift.
Show us the wonder of it,
Every moment passing
Negating into,
Traces.
For then,
Unacquainted strangers will
Tie together those soul-fed strands.
Unknown intimacy, love beyond love, shall
Remain a dream for us
Evermore...

It’s the depth of things that get me,
How minute the surface is,
yet we bathe in it.
Seldom they glance below,
But I remember being there,
Living each day beneath the choppy foam.
Finding peace from within,
Underneath every breath.
This season,
Aches my heart in pangs.
More than I am able to ignore them,
They ebb and grow like a heart beat.
The elegant rhythm,
Pulling me back.
To the place where I found myself,
where I see you,
And feel you see me.
It’s not the loneliness anymore,
It’s that piece of my soul I miss.
It’s the wonder of transparent minds,
Blending into a tapestry of angelic strokes.
Only we can see, touch, and feel.
The depths are calling from the silence,
As a traveler in the noise,
I long to go,
sigh
home.

Stark silence
Walked with me until,
I saw the entrance gaping
The back of a stare.
Motionless emotion,
I hesitate.
Swimming through the feeling,
I dared to descend.
The helplessness touched me,
So I carried her worry
To wash the guilt
For the nothing I did.

We all go,
A pace is rendered to satisfy the goal
Sacrifices offered in exchange
Prizes of wealth, security, and affirmation
We all question,
Scouring within the banter to overcome
Though crippling insecurities peek through
The answer to ourselves is sought in others
We all contend,
The fight to be imagined figures we create
Putting out the fires of failure and loss
Maybe one day, to be this emulated "self"
We all love,
Whether in words or action this reciprocates
To people, places, things, ideas, times-
Love deferred conceives bitterness and hate
Affect to that which will love you in return
Expect disappointment,
Hope for what’s best
We all live, in this beautiful mess
