Shield of Warmth and laughter Forged by grief and pain Serene ship of alabaster unbothered by battering waves Through wind and storm Against the odds She sails still straight and true If ever you should cross her path The angels have smiled upon you

Mother
It was just us that night Laying together on a too small blanket An audience of stars staring down at us I felt your hair innocently touching mine The relentless morning sun stole you from me I heard your car pull out before I had a chance to say goodbye I tried to forget The streetlights orange glow Leaves dancing in the cool breeze as we walked to the lake How the spotlight of your dark eyes made me feel like I could love again Now you drift to sleep in my arms and I know Some things aren’t meant to be forgotten

When you least expect
Despite my self esteem There’s no awaking from this cosmic dream I can’t wake up ‘cause I’m not asleep There’s nothing to sow, so there’s nothing to reap I can see, I can touch, I can hear, I can feel But I still don’t know what the **** is real Why do I live? why will I die ? It’s a blurred line between a laugh and a cry And ebb or a flow is the best I can be As I float in this soup of reality

Existential Dread
Ambrosia days and sanguine nights Nothing ever felt so right Your heavenly body lured me across space I’d walk on the sun to feel your embrace Jupiter's rings danced through my mind Presenting a gift the heavens designed Cloaked in white gold and cosmic mystique I saw you through a prism over Venus’s peak I didn’t perceive the muses’ warm touch But my soul was engrossed in a passionate clutch I bowed down before the astonishing force And drank it in deeply immune from remorse Since we crossed paths there’s none I desire I’m celestially bound to your magnificent fire

Gravity
I walk though my home so empty and strange not even love is protected from change In the streets of my past once so vibrant and youthful The nature of time is so dreadfully truthful People will leave, seasons will turn The wise will move on while the young stay and burn Fight as you may, it’s out of control Whatever you’re dealt, you’d best take it and roll

Echos
Flowers of love grow from desolate dirt The petals bring joy while the thorns impart hurt Our seeds have been sown in many a plot Past oceans and valleys, some watered, some not Through seasons of bliss and chapters of pain Your hold on my heart steadfastly remains When I reminisce through memory’s fields A precious bouquet awaits unconcealed I wish you could see the colors and shades And walk hand in hand through my memory’s glades I hope in your mind our garden is lush My sweet plumeria, I love you so much

Gardens
You asked me to leap But the faith wasn’t there This jump offers nothing but pain and despair The illusion is broken Like a mirror on the ground The shards of our past are scattered around I try to decipher why it went bad While time marches forward through happy and sad One too many times my heart has been broken Now when love calls my name my response is unspoken You lifted me up to high mountain peaks Now that you’re gone, the future is bleak How will I ever love somebody new When all that I want is to be with you

Single again
When I hold your gaze, the skies open up the flowers all bloom, and volcanos erupt When I spend my days with you by my side, my heart feels your rhythm, and my worries subside If I could stop time with your lips on mine, then we’d spend that moment forever entwined You make my life better, It’s clear to see That I’m at my best, when I’ve got you with me

How it feels to be with you
When the sun hangs low still waters reflect mountains Yet you hold my gaze

Haiku for my lover
Moonroof shine down on me let the sunshine keep me company The open road is bittersweet when she’s not in the passenger seat Though she left me all alone I still have her music on my phone I hear those songs and see her there singing sweetly without a care In the wind her hair would flutter smells of lavender and cocoa butter It’s funny how a song is changed When two lovers become estranged The notes that used to fill my heart leave me hollow and falling apart If ever we should meet again I’ll finally have my hymn's amen
