Today is a portal day—
a day to close cycles,
to remember,
to say enough.

And who messages me?
You.
Like confirmation
from the universe.

I saw the photos online—
you with her,
traveling,
smiling.

But always behind sunglasses,
so no one notices
how bored you are.

My sister says
she’s just a filler,
a stand-in.
There’s no glow in your eyes.

All that’s left
is to laugh at the scene,
because deep down,
it feels almost comical.

So I wish you happiness—
though my heart is stormy,
angry, torn.

If I wish you harm,
I create bad karma.
So—
many felicities.

A breath of fresh air
          a memory
Summer rings
         inside my heart
like a bell
  from long ago;  
Pine needles
       in your hair
scent of tobacco
         on your shirt
Skin to skin
        the heat
love,  
drifting away, like
             smoke !

I hope that
winter isn't
brutal this year.
Frozen souls.
Iced over minds.
Love swims deep
under the ice.
I hope I catch some.
My heart is the bait.
Sharp hook, as the
trumpets blast.

Awaken your soul
              through the whispers of
                           your senses
Breathe in the colors
                of your karmic
                           arias
Caress the stars of light
            as they fleet across the
                        heavens for you
Drink the elixhir of life
               for it is your destiny
              to be free
Every soul deserves beauty
and the essence of
         truly being seen
         Let your soul speak to you
                  life giving words of
         love, until eternity.

Te extraño,
niño de las montañas,
corredor de ríos,
descanso de mis recuerdos.

El sol se abre paso
entre ramas cansadas,
y en las sombras
encuentro alivio
De buscar algo más.

Sueña sin cadenas,
y entrégate al amor
como si fuera
la última vez.
No lo dejes escapar.

When you laugh

It is waking at night
Beneath a waterfall

Seeing clear through
The veil

To a multitude of stars
