no stone is colder
than a stone that's left unturned
afraid if we flip it over
we might just get burned

when there is no closure
the heart is only left to yearn
the pain never grows older
but becomes our main concern

longing to be liquid
a restless wanderer
let loose the lines
unfurled the main
with severed heart
set solitary course
on an uncaring sea

adrift
the lonely sailor
preserved remains
from his lips
the final note
love's lost
refrain
Manfred Fritz Bajorat's mummified remains were recently discovered aboard his sailboat by fishermen off the coast of the Philippines.

Found on a internet sailor's forum were Manfred's final words, written to his deceased wife, Claudia:
"Thirty years we’re together on the same path. Then the power of the demons was stronger than the will to live. You’re gone. May your soul find its peace. Your Manfred."

Like the tiger shark he was nicknamed for, Manfred roamed the oceans alone for many years.  He hadn't been seen by anyone since 2009...

this distance seems irrelevant
in the half light of a quarter turn
in the shaft of Sun that dances
through the cracked cloud
the rain teetering

i run to the corner
that is pitch
but never reach the end
the room expands into a desert
and I just keep
running

sad...
the elusiveness of time


What LOVE teaches

LOVE teaches
To hold on & let go
At the same time
Happily destroying oneself

LOVE teaches
To love from afar
Waiting for magic to happen
Desiring always to make YOU happy

LOVE teaches
Pouring out one's heart
And sipping one's blood
Drain out of one's wrists

LOVE teaches: dreamz
Day-dreamz
Smiling without reason
Imagining holding your hand
Walking side by side
Hugging YOU tightly for hours

LOVE teaches
Wander Lust
Gypsy soul
That can escape any moment
To be with YOU anytime

LOVE teaches: ART, poetry
I can write 1000 times more
I struggle to put into words
All things that I feel inside

Little things YOU do
Is just plain MAGIC

LOVE teaches: To cry
A million tears
Soaked pillows
Wet bedsheets
To appreciate a
Shiny trickle tear
Down one's cheek
And not getting used
To letting YOU GO
From one's soul
Let the wait be
A thousand years

LOVE teaches:
To poise, ponder
Listen to music
Read lyrics carefully
Read lots of good books
Dancing, a sway in walk
All because of YOU

LOVE teaches:
I care for people
I listen better
I stop and help others
I'm more compassionate

LOVE teaches: Hope
A chance to be LOVED
To soar and fly
To catch the golden cloud
Where YOU reside

LOVE teaches:
Dying in your wait
Hoping you'll come
And pick me up
Take me home with YOU

LOVE teaches
Treasured moments
Of togetherness
Remembering every little thing
You did, said, thought,
Been... with me
Together

LOVE teaches:
To cherish YOU
In utter melancholy
To respect YOU

Good, it was YOU
And you only...

LOVE teaches:
Happiness to smile
Thanking GOD
For the worth YOU gave me
To LOVE YOU in this life

LOVE teaches
YOU'll LOVE someone
Who LOVES YOU
Like I do...

U start off in anger of red
Then u start to be cool off
Acting all sweet
Shining brightly in yellow
Then shift in green mode
Where u give a surface
Blue cool like the water

tea light lanterns
     adorn
a spring fairy garden

draped
in a hyacinth melody
of lavender
        and whites

serenading a
   music box tune
atop
sun-kissed
      butterfly wings

— The End —
