you grow so effortlessly

(and offer so much)

in such a way
that i could not pick you
because i simply know
i could never offer something
as simple as
coin laundry from the moon

cloud shapes

i want to be the one
you see in the clouds
when you are feeling
tired & empty
and need a reason
to keep going

the stars wait for us

last night
i had a dream
that love was a star
waiting for us
to sing our
unsung song
so that we could
fly to it

swan song

we wrote our songs
in the stars
for the gods to sing
but we wrote it
out of tune
and maybe that’s why
the universe
couldn’t save us

moonlight

maybe you couldn’t sleep
because the moons
were trying to talk
to you

paintings

if a painting
had your voice
i’d sit and
watch it dry
for millions of years

till death we do art

i am not an artist
and i don’t know
how to paint

but if i were to take
all the shades of blue

and blend them together
they would most certainly
create a painting of you
