I followed his footprints in the snow
Thinking his path was the way to go
He didn’t even seem to notice I was there
I spoke to him as we walked but he didn't care
I stopped at several places along the way
He just kept moving forward with nothing to say
After a while I felt so alone and so tired
And I began to drift further and further behind
Though I could still see him way up ahead
He turned onto another path to walk instead..
Eventually I realized I could no longer see
As he moved relentlessly on without me
His footprints start to fade and then they disappear
He never even knew I was near
I stood at the path he turned to walk on...
Unable to move forward
And I turn to walk...
Away...

*Maybe one day our paths will cross again

Love can be like
trapped light
existing like dusk
the likes of which we can't see
physical but not optical
gravesites for stars
a waystation for dreamers
a delta to cruise through
paradise on Sunday
cold as ice on Monday
a hundred pound block on tongs
with a butterfly at its center
your temple of madness
or the Egypt of your ***
lands of mystery
an island of death
proven theories of sorrow
your lineage, children, tomorrows.

For the right reasons
before you commit treasonous
acts of
Ripping the high notes

With the saxophone
Smooth violin
classic beats
guitar strings
Marvin Gaye

with time
am I alive
do I actually exist
Jay, Did we do it
did we
Reap the classic bars
from her chords

Birds singing
Alicia klinging
Hearts breaking
Crying
Dying
falling
In love with piano

with emotions
regretting your mistakes
Written pearls
Dido flip
contained love
loved ones
roaming
moon walking

With soul
