"Two Petals fell"*
From up high, They fell
Fast,
Hard,
Stopped
And then they greeted the hard floor.
Pigment
Bled,
Saturated
Upon the surroundings.
These petals  fell in love,
And fell in silence,
They caressed eternity, still **holding hands.
Love makes us do things other emotions would never entertain.
You are not alone.

Even if it seems that the world
Is nothing but a living hell,
There'll always be someone to
Walk down the same path as you.

You are not alone.

Even if it seems that love was
Never meant to be trusted
Or friends were never meant to
Remain true to this bond forever.

You are not alone.

Even if your tears flow like rivers
And no one comes to wipe a drop.
Coz' on the other side of the river
We wait. You just need to swim across.

It'll be your own battle for a while.
Swimming across will not be easy.
But it's your share of battle
And you've got to fight.

And then...


You'll never be alone.
I have forgotten
what love
feels like
when the sun is red
and the day is tired
and the hammock
is swinging
to the beat of
the world

and I'm alone
but full of thoughts
my feet up high
in twine,
my arms behind
my head

where I can sink
into
dreams
of where
passion exists
where you exist,
though I don't know who
you are.
Always thought
loneliness
was something one
felt when alone
in life

But...

Sometimes
that loneliness
is felt even
when you have a partner

All
the more devastating
as loneliness
should have been held
at bay

No longer
safe as
Loneliness slowly creeps in

enticed by   \\  the alluring
promise of everlasting sweetness•i had
shed all trepidation to indulge in this lone
songstress•hanging on its own, just enough
within my arm's length•seemed so easy but
a formidable test of strength•i had reached
and plucked without in mind, the doubt of
myth•held it for an instant before sinking
in my teeth•it's the sole mouthful that
had brought about this perpetual
racking cough•it's the apple...
that i should've never taken
a big bite        out of...•
Before air became gas
And water waste;
Before light became lasers
And fireworks cannons;
Before cars got wings
And trucks got tracks;
Before rafts were raiding ships
And we breathed underwater;
Before sticks were arrows and spears
And we exalted ourselves;
Before Empires rose and fell
And rose and fell,
A femur crushed Cro magnon's skull.
It's a marvel
How any of us
Are here
At all.
