Massive hearts gently
shading our sleep, dreams of
long afternoons cooking curry in
naked freedom, rain as a tell-tale
reminder, the flowers we bloom in
this time without time
gentle awareness as though you've
framed my heart in roses while I
slept atop the pellows
Fire or Ice
I  choose to burn
Rise out this hell
Into the heavens
Float into the light
Absorbed, consumed
Spirit carried by smoke
Becoming a part of the cosmos
A grander scale
I pray for clear skies
Blankets of evil will try to bring me back down,
as the son of ice
To confirm my burial in hell
Yet I will sprout
Disguised once again
My branches will continue to reach
For the light I will become
With the light I will grow
Fire I am,
Ice I consume
I convert
I digest
I rise.


   ...I will always Rise.
Your "love", a fertile patch, grows
Flowers for my sick head--
Lilies for the foot of my bed;
A fragrant blanket for my grave.
The ripples in the water
Your hand dips into it
I look beside me
You're not there

I welcome nightmares
Like the sunlight in day
There I see your face
Losing light in your eyes

Tomorrow is a dreadful friend
Each time he takes away
Something of you
Something of memory

Your smell
Your smile
Your touch
Your love

I don't want to forget
Let the rain fall
Let the skies darken
Just don't make me forget

Let the water ripple in my heart
Let your hand dip into its depths again
Just don't make me forget
Just don't make me forget
Staring at the halo of passing lights,
Painting the walls I stare as I lay in bed,
It is not sleeplessness that keeps me awake,
It is the lack of your presence,
Like a child carefree in a mother's embrace,
Like a lover's comforting arms after a tiring day,
I thought tonight may be it would be nice,
To fall asleep with your arms around me,
So if I ever woke up in the middle of the night,
I could look up to find you beside me,
Lean in a little closer so you won't go,
Drift in to sleep without a thought for tomorrow.
It is kind of a happy thought, just no one I can write it to
