The world is the same

for you and for me—

What we see

depends on

where we stand.

if i define life
its this very moment now
the next is just hope

I too had a heart.

I gave it to you.

Even though you broke it,

it still belongs to you.

all things for love

all things

conquered

death
taken
prisoner

you make your prayer
and seize the day

come rain or shine
better or worse

-wedding vows
for the singlet poets

being fully attuned
standing at the cusp
teetering on the forever

I have passed by on the otherside of the road
watching death sweep across the world
I could have sent relief, I could have stooped down
and entered by the narrow gate
But mercy was hidden deep in my heart
I clutched at it, refusing to spread the love.

water under the
bridge has a way of catching
us around the bend

MR

Your face is not a secret

to hide behind a veil.

It is your identity—

show it to the world

with pride.
