It been years.
Since you went away.
I still think of you.
Each and every day.
The years don't hide the pain.
They just cover them up.

That's how love is.
When it is someone you love.

You showed me many things.
And taught me many things too.
In  many ways.
I guess I'll forever think of you.

Yes, I have shed many tears.
And its been years since you died.
I'm not ashame to admit that I've cried.

That just the way it is.
When it is someone you love.

Your importance in my life.
Will always have a place.
Just constantly thinking of you.
Brings a smile to my face.

Even, looking at a picture.
Does the same thing too.
That just the way it is.
When it is someone you love.

One gave me birth.
But I raised by you two.
I guess I stayed out of trouble.
Just by listenin' to you.

That just the way it is.
When it is someone you love.

You're forever in my heart.
And that's the way it should be,
Because you gave me love so unselfishly.

Heaven
is chocolate cake,
In a flower garden
with Lizzie.

"Why"
is an agave  plant
raising its many hands
towards sky,
shaking in urgency,
as if demanding an immediate answer.
This "why"
I note,
it keeps asking perennially;
in tequila haze, I guess
that the spirit of that "why"
is that keeps me high
though the agave mysteriously seems pained!
"Why?"

All I have had, the raven
Killing and blinding my eyes with tears,
My life, in a foolish endeavour
Trying to reinvent what was already lost.
Every waking moment,
I recognize nothing but pain;

I was dissevered by the trails of your fantasies
So, I surrendered deciphering the truth of truths,
Was bedevilled by the questions
My mind could not unravel the answer,
Jar your memory, even for a while;
For you to remember, I am becoming broken too.

And you shall fear not I, to cry,
If memories were left in morbid melancholy;
But fear, if in that heaven of smiles,
I might found a bird beneath my miseries;
Whom my heart would suffice the skies above
And will hunt for the love I once succumbed.

Under the banner heading,
a sudden rainbow spreads,
a poetic rain,
in small print,
fills the white sky page;

a naked woman,
reads it word by word,
ecstatic,
dancing like a peacock.

i fell in love to the sounds
of the sky falling down,
but the reflection of
the earth destructing
in your eyes
didn't bother me one bit

we laid there, holding one another,
knowing that we wouldn't
see this through,
that love couldn't conquer death,
but still, smiles and sighs
of utter satisfaction
lingered on swollen lips

urges of fight or flight
disappeared with each breath,
defined with depth
and even tempo, as we explored
the places we had pondered,
but never navigated before

i drowned in your arms,
and the panic caused by
the pressure on my lungs
never did come

love, the most powerful drug,
had made me numb,
and if i had to say good bye
for eternity, bare legs
tangled in fresh sheets,
wild curls on whale pillowcases,
hands holding hopeful hearts,
was the only way
i wanted to go
