Your real fear is not of falling
but of
jumping off the edge
and
finding that you cannot fly.

can be difficult to accept pain
- so easy to give

Are we at the edge
of disappearing? Pink pain. No
voice still. I sell my soul to god.

The crisp toes, write
my name on the beach. I am not
going to sit on the flames.

The escape from the
prisms. No more love will proceed.
I will become a stranger to myself.

When I make a friend, I cherish them deeply.
I create a special place for them in my heart,
where they can grow and thrive,
becoming an inseparable part of who I am...
so that uprooting such a connection
would mean losing a piece of myself.

You're so beautiful
And gorgeous to and so
Special in life and all
My dreams have come true
Because of her,

And she's loving and caring
right down to the core
Filling my heart with happiness
and so much more,

And her eyes are so bright
Gorgeous and shining
Every night,

And in my arms
Is where she belongs tonight
Holding hands
So tight and kissing
Softly under the Moonlight and
The beating of your hearts is my favourite love song in life.
She Beautiful.

with cupped hands
i chase this beautiful orange sunset
to the ends of the earth,
as the universe grudgingly makes other plans.
here, manhattanhenge calls!

fallen red maple leaves neuters a virus,
but only after many stolen dreams and lives,
now time’s scars fill the contours

an iridologist’s tools don’t lie
her love for me, never shy
but as i lie on the bed of the cosmic serpent, i smile,
knowing time’s true turn
and with it,  life, love, death and dreams

Teach your demons how
To speak, and let them write your
Poems for themselves.

Still resonant on my
hollowed-out soul

do you think we paid too much
for this apartment

she asked
all those years ago

I walk behind empty gas stations
And broken windows,
My palms sweaty from the heat,
I think of the polar caps
Slowly melting away.

I open the door to my apartment,
I sit down on my leather couch,
My hands are no longer sweaty
But, I am still sad.

You may be forty-five today,
          But still look twenty-one;
And even when you’re eighty-five,
          You’ll be the only one.

I live my life to hear your laugh
          And see your smiling eyes;
If I could gift wrap happiness,
          You’d get a big surprise.

Each day and week and month and year,
          My love for you goes on;
And it won’t stop no matter what,
          Not even when I’m gone.
