For my remembrance
Insistence
All the paths I’ve gone down
Many paved
A few bamboo
Cuts here...there
Trampled downtrodden
To overwhelming guilt
Sadness
Painful as it is...
I can still turn it to something
Else
Much like when the earth needs
Sun...
It just rotates
To grow
Water
Sunlight
But when earth is tired
It gives moon
Sleep
Dreams
Love...
Forever
Indelible

Of course I remember
The Sunlight
Of our last day together
Much like the kisses between us
Our bodies touching
One last time
Sunlight
Is
All
I have now
Watching you
Watching me
Why I hate cloudy days

Love is...
Light where there was none
Endless rivers flowing
Lime dense forest alive
Sweet everlasting kisses
Memory lasting years
Decades...forever
Love is...
‘This is my pain, this is where it hurts...’
‘Give it to me...this is where your pain ends’
Holding you once again
Love is...
Dreams within dreams
First thoughts after nightmares
‘Are you okay?’
Love is...
An empty canvas
An Italian wedding
Soldiers coming home from war
A shooting star only you saw
Their song
Only you can hear
Playing every single day
Every word they ever spoke
Now a burning poem in your head
With an endless wick
Love is...
I will be here forever for you
Time means nothing
Find you first in the next life
Watch over you if I’m befallen before
Endless wick
Burning
Embers
Long
Into
The
Night
Love is...
...you

There’s just too many people
In the world..
15 minutes to get to work
An hour to get home
Bumper to bumper
Neverending lines
Outside grocery stores
Fighting for the last of the paper
Too many people
Too many cars
Not enough time to fall in love
12-14 hour days
With the same people
Same problems
Piling up
There’s just too many people in the world
And yet when there is a love story
Their first inclination is to bring
More people in the world
More addicts
More drunks
More argumentative people
More folks to put into coffins on wheels
Trying to get home
So they can
Go to bed
Alone...

12 hour days
Endless financial math
Ruining the thread
Inspiration
Commerce
Is the sword in the
Heart of Creativity
.
But in moments
Throughout the day
10 seconds here
5 seconds there
I still think of you...
Knowing you’re going thru
The same ordeal
Just so I can feel normal
In all this
Commerce
The ******* of the soul
Wishing
We were
In each other’s arms...

Was there yesterday & the
Day before
Fresh, dark
Maroon
Scarlet
Will not dry
Pooled in certain
Spots
Caked on thistles
Here & there
Sunlight hits it
Around 730
Glistens
Moonlight illuminates
Glows
Beckons
Promises
Everyday finding
Curiosity is a burning midnight wick
Must know
Have to
Come and find out
Lurking
Beating
Flowing
Dripping
Just beyond those clump of trees...
