How ironic it is
That we mutilate this earth
With the very substances
That bind it.

And how humorous we are
That we think
We can save ourselves
From us.
I'm exhausted and I could probably add to this one day. Enjoy

I used to think I was special ;  now I know!!
This is in no way a conceited post. This comes from a place where I am right now. I have to learn to love myself so that I can in return be loved and love others.

We die every night
Fortunately, we wake up,
Yawn, and say, "morning!"*

Happiness
Where can I find you
Precious be mine
Be mine for eternity

Happiness
Where do you live
Darling come live with me

Happiness
Why do you hide
Stop hiding
Reside in me

Happiness
What am I to do
To attain You.

Up North, by the Russian border,
It gets so cold your breath
Freezes and floats to your
Feet in a fountain of
Sparkling microsmithereens.

Sibirians call it
Whispering Stars.
I swear on my name it's a
Sight beyond description, with

Northern Lights coiling like
Mating snakes
On a sky so full of moon and
Stars it's almost alien

Above you.
Easiest peace.
The sound of Gods
Meditating.

Silence itself opens its
Quiet eyes and looks into yours
Like a living abyss you look down,  
Looking back.

The purest of Existence's
Everythings.
The now cry in
Snow Crystals.

Zen in

Frozen.

Dear love,

D o  y o u  n o t  k n o w ?

Flowers bloom at your smile
Your eyes are the sun that makes them grow
Your freckles, the seeds planted to replenish them
Do  you  not  know  ?

Your hair falls like the rain
Gently lulling the earth to sleep
Your fingers hold your pencil
As an artist holds his stencils
With grace and posture

Do  you  not  know  ?
Your feet dance on the ground
As a ballerina's final leap
With elegance and composer
Your eyelashes flutter
As a dazzling bird ***** its wings
Leaving the world in awe

Do you not know
You do the same to me?
To my dear friend Tasha. Your inner and outer beauty mystifies me.

Everyone is a saint.
With the lights on,
but when they go off..There is darkness.
My first haiku eveeer! Enjoy!

Box
I'm in the back of your mind.
I'm just that cardboard box of old memories that everyone
leaves on the top shelf,
Allowing it to dust over.
She's in the front of your mind.
She's the box of prized possessions
You look at and think about every day.
What do I mean to you?
Nothing?
Nothing at all?
I want to mean something to you,
I want to mean more than a dusty cardboard box.
