A heart purrs and pounds
with ecstatic sound.
In synchronicity.
With another heart breaking,
a somber shattering,
slicing soul's ground.
Butterflies flutter
and bats shriek.
Agony's sun to ecstasy 's moon.
A perpetual gnaw to taste love's truth.
And drip with it's bittersweet juice.....

Live
In your
Moment?
I want to
Learn
Focus on my now
Learning to live in the moment

"What are you thinking about?"

"Hadn't you rather be thinking about your death?"

Words to live by....
On cool back burner
resentment simmers
love turns to black
hatred for dinners.
The beauty of paper flowers
They never wither

The tragedy of paper flowers
They always remember

Your gentle hands could do no harm
But they could let go

A paper flower never wilted

Even worse

It was discarded
