To my first love
When you left me
To start your new life
I made you a Tajmahal
Not to rest in it
But to live in it
Not by marble
But by lots of smiles
By lots of good wishes
By lots of still- being- there
For a lover's vow
Is beyond jealousy
Is beyond everything

Look to the stars.
Look at the sky.
Let's watch the clouds.
As they float by.

Let's stay here forever.
Watching the sky.
Seeing the stars.
And wishing to fly.

Why don't we hold hands.
As we watch the sky.
We can watch each other.
As we learn to fly.

Let's you and me.
Both grow wings.
We can be like the angle.
And listen as it sings.

He'll sing a song.
For just you and me.
Then we'll come back to earth.
And rest in a tree.

We'll watch the sun.
As it crosses the sky.
We'll wait for the moon.
So we can again fly.

We'll flap our wings.
And leave the earth.
We'll watch a sunrise.
Of immeasurable worth.

Not all the gold in the world.
Could make me go.
Because I'm here with you.
You made my heart grow.

Let's stay here forever.
Me in your arms.
Watching your face.
Seeing only your charms.

love
is a craft
that i build
with my
bare hands
that i make
out of wood
against the grain
that i sand
if you would
only please
understand
how much
i loved you
i am
this man

The enlightened say
violence has no place,
But do they value it
anyway?

I AM SO
EMPTY
I THINK
I MIGHT
CAVE IN

Despair a place of solace, disillusion a state of being,
when emptiness routes the soul forbidding any dreams.
You try to smile your placid smile with untold torment tearing you apart inside.  Was it seen?  Could they know?  Have they discovered the secret you try to hide?

Ignorance is bliss and in ignorance those around us live their lives blissfully, but pain is bitter sweet and consumes us frivolously.

And someday it will all end.

Amen
