The vastness and beauty of the cosmos
Pales in comparison
To the utter magnitude of your wonderful soul

"We are all made of stardust!"

Never believed it until I met you.

Inter Caelum et Infernum

Trapped in this infernal purgatory
At least I have you.
Thus, while my skin sears
So does my heart.

Tender Surrender

I want to love you
Is that okay to say?
It's just the way you look at me baby
Has me feeling some type of way
I know it's new
But I knew it when I saw you

Death?

Not just a bridge
But a vast expanse
Not a straight line
Wherever, whenever
It is time.
Death is emotionless
But it's not quite the end
What is death?
It's not the finality,
But beginning of eternity.

Response to Naceur Ben Mesbah. Inspired by, and a response to his poem titled 'Death.' All credit to him for the structure and idea.

Train of Thought

Four walls around me
A river flowing soundly
Look for peace in calamity
Like a pearl in a clam for me
Pumping, breathing
Everything you're needing
Even more
No less
The cause of a lot of stress
Setting behind a desk
I wonder
Do they still play there?
They took the merry-go-round out
Come to find out
A sad day in the hearts of the elderly
A sight so sad to see
A dog sitting on the beach with no master

Are you the Sun Goddess?

Gifts of fortune
All in kind
Remove the scourger
From my mind
Her painful torture
Leaves me blind
My soul to nurture
Misaligned

What is a Gnar, and how do you shed it?

What was the name of that hat?
Can barely stay awake
Once I confessed I loved You
That was that.
You let me use Your toothbrush
I had forgotten mine
What a night that was
Two souls, passion divine
Long walk, 24th street
Secret kisses in a tunnel
Who knew so much emotion
Could be transferred with a hug
A piece of my heart
Will always be Yours
Letting go was hard
Walking down those stairs
******* I loved You.
******* I love You.
Where are You?
Where?
