Weaved darkly within the veins of
the page,
          the ink bleed when
I read you
the last breath before papercutting
                    the last words from your


windpipe...
    
the ink just bleed on the page, smudging
          your last meaningful words.

Sorry I should have really removed
        my hand so you could scream..

But silence is bliss
and I you were a bleeder..
                 I had to wash you off me....

And that was a lot of soap...

i loved you
when the sun
still rose in the west,
when caterpillars
hadn't grown
their wings yet.

i loved you
in cherry lips—
in almond kiss,
in dreamy eyes,
in youthful bliss.

now, my distant heart
could only love you
in heavy mist,
in forlorn might,
in fleeing light,
in vague hindsight—
of what was right.

Two souls connecting for a fleeting moment
Drunk on the words of one another
The moment seemed so timeless
No one besides you and I

Trivial bodies, they only held the medium with which we connected
Two people beyond the grasp of space and time
Intoxicated on the realization we aren’t alone
We become one that night

I pray our paths cross again, someday, somewhere
Night prematurely left, and I am left pondering the notion we still have the magic we need
Foundation laid with no time to build
Pure momentary bliss with someone I may never see again

Staring into the sky,
on a bright sunny day
The birds chirping,
the branches shaking
vigorously
Too many shadows
moving in silence,
suddenly a breeze blows,
Brushing my hair smoothly
Off my face

Comfort is nice but mundane bores
I must explore the wonders of sea
My thoughts take wings, zest soars
I set sail on my journey with glee

A crushing wave, a sudden slip
Yanking my board from under my feet
Hither tither I scramble for a grip
Boy this feels, anything but sweet

Not what I thought - no easy play
Things just aren't going my way
I look for reason, reason flees
Reason tells me meaning you’ll see

Tired of evil, tired of this ploy
I loosen my grip, I free control
In this moment, I now enjoy
The ebb and flow of the larger whole

A storm revisits, I know the drill
I'm tossed again in life's caprice
I align my will with divine will
And now I sail the winds with ease
