Listen.
Yes, you.
You hear it?
That sound, the drumming?
Constant thumping in my chest?
That is the rhythm
Of my love
For you
Babe.

The crushing weight of uncertainty
Can certainly be
The end of me
But why lie beneath
The lies and heat
We've lived and died
In subtlety
You're ripening
Now it's time to see
Him playing for pipe and string
He's not the type to sing

Hanging from the rafters.

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.

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

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

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.

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
