Falling asleep
Would be a wonderful way
To die
To simply
Dream forever
To sail among the stars
With your lost lover
For an eternity
Nothing can be so bad
When you're
Dreaming
RIP grandpa. I hope you find your wife. I will miss both of you forever. I love you.

Your soul is the sturdy path
On which I walk
Your body beside
Heart inside
Passion so deep
A magical universe
All our own
Obstacles rise and fall
Not as harsh wind and rain
But a newly formed freckle
On your perfect canvas
Gracing not marking
A moment a trial
Forever reborn
And what is left of me these days
Except broken promises and missed exits
I'm alive because I choose to be
Not because I want to be
him
i fell in love with him
on a cold december morning,
when the sun was just peering through
much as i was,
catching a glimpse of his green eyes
and goofy grin,
and too-big ears,
and freckled face.

i  fell in love with him
on a breezy february afternoon,
when i was at a show,
and he asked to sit next to me,
our eyes locking,
hearts thumping,
bodies twitching nervously,
as i whispered,
"sure."

i fell in love with him
on a warm march evening,
when we crossed paths again,
and he sang sweet melodies softly to the audience,
never knowing i was there,
and never will know
i was there,
clinging onto his every note and movement.

i fell in love with him
as many others did,
as many of the books i read would tell me i would,
as many humans foolishly have over the centuries,
as many will continue to do.

isn't it strange?
I attend a thespian festival each year and see him there. We have talked on occasion, yet I am too frightened to go speak to him. I don't know why, I can talk to many people. But I stumble and stutter if I ever am in his presence.
One day
Things will change
You will regret
All the dumb
Choices you've made

One day
Things will get better
I'll forget you
You never made me
Any better

One day I
Will be happy
Without you
In my life

One day
Things wil be okay
You and me
Separate entities
One
The world around me slows to a crawl,
No one around me knows me at all.
I look over the crowd of familiar faces,
From various times and different places.
They laugh and they play, one and another,
All with secret pains, I’m just like the others.
Stay.
Accept my imperfections.
I will do anything for you.
I need you.
I need your soul.
I need your mind.
I need your heart.
I need your pain.
I need your tears.
I need you next to me .
Why can't you forgive me for not letting go.
I forgave you for not holding on.
Life

That's a poem, right?

we're old souls you & i.
bound by a need to be something beyond ourselves.

i admire that in you.
your struggles, questioning
breathing new life into stale moments.

we're gypsies i'd say, you & i.
the new beatniks
pushing the boundaries of self discovery
fighting with ourselves & conceptions of identity.

we're moving, always
self destructing
running in search of any semblance of truth.
