I don't believe in soul mates
What I do believe in
Is people that connect
On some deeper level
Immediately upon acquaintance
And not meaning you agree
On where to eat for dinner
But the connection where your heart
Seems to slip out
Of your rib cage
Because it's found a home
Outside of your chest.

In a dream
I drank the color
of your eyes,
and swallowed
the tone
of your voice

No one so shy
as moonlight on waterlilies
of a blue-black night



         Personne si timide
         au clair de lune sur les nénuphars
         Ce soir, bleu-noir

God gave us a gift
greed destroyed ecosystems
awake! save our earth

All the hurts I received taught me a  great lesson.
