You burn me
not so much that anyone can see the
scorch
on my palm
my hand
my face
my soul
pain that leaves no mark
is a true artist’s
greatest work

Were her eyes blue?
I can't remember.
Was it hot or cold,
August or December?
Did she have green eyes?
I still can't see her.
She's long gone,
Just like the weather.
Maybe she had brown eyes,
Just like leather.
But now she's left,
Maybe its for the better.
No she had gray eyes,
I wrote her a letter.
It got sent right back,
With a return-to-sender.

Sometimes
i wish we could just forget each other
so we can meet again for the first time

between you and me,
i'm still rooting for us.

maybe not in this lifetime,
but in the end.

My grandpa
             Words he gave
                            To me once upon a full moon
“Son” he said
            “When you go into this life”
“Remember, that love is a language “
             “So find, my son, find someone”
                     “Who speaks your language “
      “So you don’t have to translate your soul”
                                   Hmmm.
