gratitude

I’ve experienced so much love and tenderness
in my life
my heart often feels bursting with gratitude
for all the loves
so much so
that I sometimes wonder if I’m not dying
because it feels like the culmination of something

but maybe that’s just the deepening intensity
of life

so many words
to describe you

yet so little you
in
you

i knew the moon too well
over familiar
from her arms i fell
like the water

in an ancient well
reflected her
eternal
earth mother

a mired hell
her purr
her smile
a lover´s

shell
a lost word
a rat´s spell
never heard..

They said just one, and you'll fly,
Free forever, never to die,
A little dust, and into the sky,
Second to the right, straight on all night.
There you'll find freedom, there you'll find life,
Never to age, never to cry.

But all my happy thoughts flew away.
Now I'm just lost,
Still acting like a little boy, still running from pirates.

Know why they call it Neverland?
Because it's never coming back.
It was never there at all,
And it never will be.

Wendy started nursing school,
The Captain died from cancer,
The Boys left town, the pirates retired,
The fun is over, the thrill is gone.
John's a lawyer, Michael's a drunk,
Tinker bell's taking selfies from her new Mercedes,
The crocodile's chewing the fat off tourists in his nature preserve.

You know why they call it Neverland?
Because you never should have left.
Now we're all just shadows.
We grew up, when we swore we'd rather die.
They caught me, now I'm just a shadow.
They made me a man.

two beautiful hearts
as brittle as glass
one could see through
but they themselves couldn't pass
fell for each other
at the edge of last summer
time recalls
whatever falls
breaks into pieces

If there was a room
    full of every single person
          who you ever loved....


Would you be there too?

So the night has fallen
Soon the dead of this misty night will usher the midnight gloom
My haunts of imagination still utter

I wish I could be a poem
Instead of a forged making as if I were a poet

To behold you opening your soul to me
To be the words limned on poetic canvas
To onlook you feel animated as you will read me, then

To be left alone, to evanesce
Like the calming, delicate mist hanging over the river evaporates in the morning sunshine

To be your soon to be forgotten lines
Conceived within your wondrous mind
Born upon your sublime imagination
Moulded with your deliberate love and decisive rhyme, then

To be solus, consigned to oblivion and unloved
Like a waning moon, dimmed smile and broken dove

What once was a beautifully polished and stirring wordplay, soon

To be nothing and utterly replaced

Like a song newly heard
I will be loved
Once a last musical note fades
I will be dead.
hold me in your thoughts
So I can keep you in my heart

Do you find happiness
in my tear?
Like the full moon does
in the seawater.

I find your sweet smell
in the air,
like the honeybee does
in the flower.

Why do you hate me
when I love you
Why do you blame me
when I talk to you

I follow you as the night does
the daytime
I miss you like a refugee does
his lovely clime!

I don't wish you to wipe
my tears away
I just want you not to go
so far away!

I will never ask you
to love me again,
but let me dream of you
to forget my pain!
