please never stop raining.
stay over me,
be around me
as I ache for water,
sweet water,
in cool droplets
on my cracked skin
then,
my sandpaper veins.
my eyes are upturned
and my lips parted for you.
please never stop raining.

compassionate silence
making room for love

love that can do all
as you gaze into eternity.

Flowers wilt, even

if they are out of the sun --


and made of paper.

I wrote a poem, just for you,
Wrought out of pain and tears.
You took the pain, and wrote one too;
It multiplied our fears.

I wrote a poem, filled with joy,
And gave you that as well.
You wrote one too, and helped destroy
Our paranoia's spell.

I called you out with a song,
With tunes calling whom I long,
I could play this all day long,
To see you smile for life long.

the Sun is eating itself
voraciously self-consuming

and the Sun gives life
by the act of slowly dying.
