a small bleak hope shrouded in doubt,
you reach with your hand, but then you pull out.
recoiling back as doubt creeps in your mind,
your memories flash, a movie frozen in time.

Like air,
my presence is gentle and quiet.
Yet I am temperamental;
from breezes to gusts,
from gusts to whirlwinds -
a turbulence derived from perceived planes.
Still, I stand before you,
eccentricity that does not deviate from its kind manifest.
And with this golden cup,
I will rain upon you from the heavens above,
cleansing the earth.
I am Aquarius.

Trees are the veins of the Earth,
Silhouettes against the night.
Trees are the arms of the Earth,
Trying to touch the sky.
If I gaze upon that sight,
Will I too strive higher?
Or be intoxicated,
By the poison of its desire.

They say time machines don't exist,
but whenever I'm with you,
Time seems to fly by.
And when I'm not,
seconds turn into minutes.

You were...
The ultraviolet that shined on me,
Revealing invisible pages.
Pages that hid my thoughts,
My emotions...
Pages that hid myself.
You were...
The light in my own incompetence,
Shining a path to realizing myself.
The light that sparked inspiration,
Passion...
The light that sparked love.
But,
You were...
Forgotten as swiftly in love were we,
Another glance in the crowd.
I felt unwanted,
annoyed...
I felt hopeless.
Because,
We weren't meant to be.
I took a step forward,
You took a step forward
But your light disappeared.
You were...
Gone.

of a solemn sound
that which pierces my ears
an apparition
so vague yet clear
veiled to eyes to all but me
nested it lied deep within
a speck of lint that breezes by
with it follows a certain scent
from a bird that takes flight
to the fish that swim
from a torrent of water
that which touches the brim
endless streams flow past my grail
spilling out into the abyss below
a shallow wake of living and death
to this my song of unwavering woe

Like the wind,
passing freely,
gently caressing my skin.
Like the water,
my feet wallowed in,
fully encompassing me.
Like the sun,
with its rays of light,
warming my heart.
Like the moon,
in the nothingness of black,
dimly lit over me as I dream.
I'm reminded of you yet again;
I wish you were here.

Where the nights are numb, and the ground frosted,
Where the ocean lies still and quietly.
Upon that abyss, there it riposted,
A reflection of refracted beauty.
A blush of colors painting the sky,
A wave that rippled of untold stories.
As if the Earth let out a gentle sigh,
In its longing wake to show its glory.
In this velvety night, we lie and watch,
And flush our thoughts and soak it in.
An experience that cannot be bought,
To wash over us and begin again.
That night we shared in loving memory.
That night we were in perfect harmony.

On a cold, bitter Christmas Eve, I wandered down an unknown path and at its end sat a small, isolated tree; it's branches – leafless and frosted with ice – shimmered and twinkled in the moonlight.
From that tree fell a frozen tear that shattered into a million pieces against the snow, concurrently with the resonating ring of a bell in my ears.
As tears rolled down my cheek, I whispered,
"I am too..."
