I hope you are unhappy wherever you are.
And may you always lose the keys to your car.
May your underwear be uncomfortable all your life
and may you hit all the red lights whenever you drive.
May your upstairs neighbor party all night long
and may the radio never play your favorite song.
May your skin never reach the smoothness of silk
and may your cookies break when you dip them in milk.
Because I don't want you dead for just hurting me
But I wish for you that tiny extra bit of misery.
I would never wish for any exceptionally bad things towards my Ex. This is mostly for fun! ;)

Tragedy's shadow
So
Easy to miss
If you're
Not looking
For
It.
nomad
hungry ghost
trembling hands
outstretched
forever seeking
that which does not
sustain

alms
for the golden
empty bowl
offerings laid
on the morning altar
until there is
no barrier

only
giver and receiver
giving and receiving
adjoined
without end
that which circles
becomes eternal

all is but illusion
we remain
unbound
released from suffering
what was fractured
in wholeness
will be found.
I hear them float through my window,
Such a mellifluous sound
Of innocence and tenderness,
A parental bond they've found

Too soon their voices have gone,
As silence creeps through the air
Birds gently sing me a song,
Remind me they're always there

You see, if you ever feel lonely
There's one simple thing you must do
Open each one of your senses
To the beauty surrounding you

For every warranted frown, there's always a reason to smile
Tree so tall
Mountain up high
Leave your image
Written in the sky

Mother of Earth
Father and sun
Tell me the secrets
Before my time is done

Alone in this world
Strong and tall
If I receive no help
I will certainly fall

Send your message
Don't deceive or lie
Give me a chance
Before I die

My plea for help
Didn't go far
No one listened
So, I wished upon a star

her petals
fell upward
into the sky fecund,
spelling energy again.

Time cannot stop a soul
It will clip wings
Sour dreams
Eating at your feelings when you're all alone

We are a resilient kind
Full of tenacity
To the point of fault
Sensibility firmly locked in a vault

Time merely hinders the heart
Cutting strings
Failing to tear it apart
Man, I love Coffee
Maybe I don't like to admit when I'm wrong
But then again, neither do you
Maybe trying to find each other in foreign places was the worst way to meet
But your heart eludes even you
Maybe I should have shown you honey before stone
But stone walls have always been safer
Maybe I was never good at knowing who to trust
But I thought that I could let you in
Maybe taking shots in the dark is ineffective
But it doesn't matter now that my heart's broke again
No idea what this bunch of nonsense is. Nope. Happy St. Valentine's.

I mutter stuttered syllables
into shut ears,
so I'm not heard very often.
I'm not good with words,
not when
my mouth staggers, lagged behind my thoughts.
But give me time to reflect,
and I expect I could make something
worth hearing,
with your eyes.
