No matter the height of one’s love or fame
There is but one happy end
What lies ahead is in the unknown
The trap doors that lay in wait in the dark
But in the end
When the finality of one’s last breath has drawn
The last tally can be taken
And only the total remains
And if fortune upon you smiled
If the darkness only weighed in summer
And the sun shone surely more
Then I hope a smile upon you breaks
Frozen in mortality

I knew her once.
Or maybe only the shadow left behind.
She stood there longer than I saw,
waiting for what I could have given—
but couldn’t name.
And I loved her—
in the way storms ravage the sky,
in the way a glass waits for wine.
But love isn’t measured by its weight in our hands,
only by the space it leaves behind—
the pressure of air where her voice once was,
and the way silence now deafens my ears.
She is somewhere new,
In another room and another world,
where the sun still folds on her face
the way my lost eyes once did.
And me—
still walking,
still waiting,
as if heading toward
where she stands in the light,
leading me back to her.

From where did the sins of man come
Were they born by god
Or did we find them in the dark
Waiting where our deepest desires live
Did we feel their wrath?
And blame it on the gods we imagined below
Or did we simply feel wrong
For the hurting we bore

The photos move me
And the memories are grand
I visit what has been
And what was lovely then
Now lovelier still
For I’m no longer there
The greatness of the past
Grows, the further from it I am
The more wonderful it becomes
My mind, you good and gentle thing
Hold only on to what is worth knowing
And remember this vision through the hidden lens of nostalgia
Haunting the scene

Memory and its wicked ways
Leaves too much behind for us to find
But with great mercy it withholds
Some of what would drive us mad
Its walls are weak and its defense is thin
But if we promise to lay still and not fight
The peace of perfect finds us at night
Until the walls come down

All of humanity look on
For the words that come from me now
They may be seen and also not
Whatever fate’s choice becomes
Will leave us only in more want
More for me
To be seen and known
More for them
To feel
Or more for them
To feel again
And for me to be known
And it not be enough

After the relic and remains are spread
And when my mind’s whole thought removed
After my memory and fear are gone . . . .
Was all the time then lost to me worth what was spent?
Ask me not but to instead
The one who follows now
Them walking in the rain

The living
Go on
Like me
Doing again
What’s been done
A million times
And by others
Just like them
And no wondering
Of tricks
Or words
Will see a new day.
The same
Will be
On and on
For me
And you
And
It’s ok
