May 2010
At surface, ripples and washes in and away.
Desires, wishes, requirements,
Some in a murky deep, secrets weighing down,
Some float, light enough, shallow enough to match the surface
But few can’t escape, held somewhere farther,
And in this nadir, unchanged is all I need.

With just a single frame she’s alone,
But a picture’s thousand words
Tell, look closer it calls.
Not to walk a crowded street, longing for a home, and
Just pleads to know
Just the reassurance of knowing.
Could be salient, could be striking but obliterate a frame,
And she’s there, with all I want.

A dove warbles one lonely soliloquy, to the ebony
Sky, could be an only friend
Or nights could keep her.
Either way, with warmed wings
Soaring,
If it could stay forever.
Flying, a weighted soul released
Letting go of
All I ask,
Flickers through a space.
Mind, that’s how it’s known
Behind it lurks in organs of a soul
As the heart would pump blood, and bleed for someone
What as the head functions?
In that space so trivial
Distance between lovers and friends
Both the desire, the without
An outstretched hand to,
Never let go
To love you
Is all I ask.
