I know what you are, love ...
But I don't think you need help.

You just need someone to be by your side for the rest of your life,
to stay young and innocent for you.

I know what you are, love ...
But I don't think you're a criminal.

You just need a partner to understand you,
and accept that you can't change what you were born as.

I know what you are, love ...
But I don't think you're worthless.

You just need me:
A lover, YOUR lover, for your fantasies.

I know what you are, love ...
And I'll be there for you for eternity.

It's his birthday,
and it's my death day.

It is not love that hurts.
It is our idea of what love should be like
compared to the love that we have.
It is not love that hurts,
but the absence of it especially when we need it most that hurts.

A poem a day
Keeps the demons away.

I no longer call your name into the night
no more do my hands fit to yours
I have forgotten how your voice sounds
it took some time, but my heart stopped syncopating to the beat of yours
and in the process of letting go of you I became mine.

Gentle giant.
I sit in the oasis of your shade.
I peel your bark, and
it is like skin.
Transparent.
I rub your skin between my fingertips and feel calm;
I feel your energy.  
You are a healing tree.
When I sit in your shade,
I feel peace and contentment.
However, your song is one of despair,
and so sometimes,
when I sit beneath your limbs,
I lament.
I hurt and I feel
for all things that have passed.
