i envy the moon —
cycling through nightly
unseen obligation.
subtle change,
until her plenitude
conjures a brief
transfixed adoration
and reflection.
hallowed pardon
knighted at the visor
for earth’s imperfect
praise, and yet,
the tides rise and descend,
lunar resets
and she phases in to greet us
again,
and again.

he is as vast as an ocean,
and as deep as the depths away from the shore.
there aren't any boats for him,
nor a lighthouse to show where to go.
when he envisions,
ideas pass by like the wind,
rippling the waves rhythmically
but he fears a storm to ruin the pattern.
every day, the weather changes
sometimes blanketing the sky with haze.
distorting endless hues of blue,
like steam on a mirror.

which had hurt me more?
knowing you didn't need me,
or thinking you did?

closing in, you're paper thin,
you may not see, but i look in.
take a look at the walls,
look at them tear, look at them fall.

i wanted to hold
your hand
but i waited
far too long
because you saw me
and hid them
and when i asked where they were,
you turned away
and said they were gone.

the last hiccup
slowly quiets in the sheet
and the last tear
plants it's home
in your pillow,
awaiting growth
of it's garden.

the one with the eyes
so green or so blue,
stayed by the sea side
taking care of the view.
so she danced when it rained
and danced until night
and she stayed by the sea,
never leaving it's sight

a place in the heart
holds so much
more than a palace

you are all i think about,
like a fire burning my fingers
when it runs quickly on a match.
because the burn will remind me
that you'll remain a while,
and i won't see you again
until i light another.

the chilly air you leave behind,
rattle my bones that always bind
