I am afraid to own a Body—
I am afraid to own a Soul—
Profound—precarious Property—
Possession, not optional—

Double Estate—entailed at pleasure
Upon an unsuspecting Heir—
Duke in a moment of Deathlessness
And God, for a Frontier.

when you hit
that note
my heart shattered

autumn leaves like
windchimes in the
biting winds

dark skies like
mornings held high
to high noon
to full moon

and those eyes
of dark skies and autumn leaves
of windchimes and mornings

i gasp for air
as the wind stops
and the trees fade

when you held that note
to high noon
to full moon

Just like
fractured hearts,
light must be fractured
to make a
rainbow.

When
the
sun sets
gorgeously
behind the mountains,
we are reminded everyday-
There is always beauty to be found amidst darkness.

-FJ. Pacaldo

the way your name felt
still lingers on tough days;
you still feel like home
even when you seem like a maze

I was starring at you
Smile behind you
Screaming while cutting you
Until you ask me "U okay?"
