one warm April evening
the sun went down early
the seas swept away the castles
built for dreams to live in
the waves returned, hurried and eager
in the wet sands
they dug deeper
as if something precious was lost
but they returned
without their castles to peek into
without those walls to protect
life was like that
one day, you had everything
and by the evefall, everyone had left
the house was empty
no one to behold
nothing alive and kicking
nobody but you

like a mad dog
this heart went on chasing
the trails of love

it was breathtaking
the way she sat there
like a winner
ready to consume
the apocalypse surrounding her

don’t speak of me
to the world
think of me
in the silences
between your words

it was the light
from the scars
that made the broken ones
shine

maybe that’s why
letters always arrived late
weighed down
by all the love and regrets

and even if I had
just one day to live
like a daylily
I’d spend that time
loving you…

some water plants
when they are buds
some water them
after they are dead

these words
they could teach us
to make love
or start wars
never known
a magic
so potent

why do we keep
pushing each other away?
why does it have to be
this way?
those things we did
those words we said
do they mean nothing?
am I to cherish them as memories
or regrets that are
forever here to stay?
why do we keep
pushing each other away?
why does it have to be
this way?
