Can you tell me
How it feels to be disconnected?
Was it string by string
Or did you rip it off all at once?

When you looked at me
Did you see the color in my eyes?
Or did you see black and white
Before you looked away?

Was it hard?
Hesitation, doubts, guesses
Or was it easy?
Simple, quick, effortless

When we touched
Did you feel that electricity?
Or did your hand
Only felt an object?

As I loved you
Did you love me?
Or did you just
Say it awkwardly?

When I thought of you
Did you think of me?
Or were your thoughts randomized
With everything but me?

I asked how it felt
Because I am still connected
To someone who is gone
Who pulled away so effortlessly

A red string of fate
Severed by you
And I asked myself
How can I do the same?
Dream 3d
My life is falling apart and I'm speaking to dead people. He's telling me there's peace and that he's happy.
I kinda felt his peace and happiness.
My connection to him escapes me though, is he speaking to me or am I speaking to myself.
I think I want peace and happiness and to know why the happiest boy I knew killed himself.
Hearts open up, heads nod towards each other in slow motion.
They touch and we are rooted here.
In this universe.
In this moment.
In stillness and eternity.
In connection.
In love.
I was the sun,
And you the rain.

What happens
When rays  
Don’t shine the same?

And now,
Behind your cloud
I’ll lay.

As your shadow
It grows,
And here I do stay.

But your tears
They flood,
Through clouds
Of grey.

Yet a rainbow
Forms ,
As clouds they break.

And we emerge
As one .

To seize the day.
"Real?"
"Sure, why not?"

No
purpose.
Just
stillness.

(presence...)

Drowning in it with you —
no air,
no need,
no expectations.
Just there.

Some questions
don’t
need
answers.

(just presence...)
Some moments don’t need meaning — just presence.
before he left his father's house for the last time,
he went to the kitchen where gray winter light
filled the room through a single window

he leaned over the table and smoothed his fingertips
along the wood, attempting to ****** from the soft,
sentimental pine all of the names, the numbers, that

had graced its' face, those who had drawn his
father's attention, if only for the moment, and for
a while he searched for his own name until suddenly

he withdrew his hand as if scorched, realizing some
things are better left unknown
Can you hear the stars,
sweet infinite music
the whistled song of the sky as it soars above us,
yes, you with your phone clamped to one ear
are you deaf to the whistled tune of the universe
then you have truly lost connection
What is love? The love, you ask me—
It’s pure devotion, soul’s decree.
When minds grow weak, but hearts stay true,
They hold each other, seen or through.

Though distance swells like oceans wide,
Their hearts still walk, side by side.
Eyes closed—yet feel the other near,
In sky’s soft breeze, their souls appear.

Love is so pure, so childlike true,
Where we unveil the child in you.
We giggle, stumble, fall, forgive,
In flawed delight, we learn to live.

We love our flaws, and theirs as well,
In quirks and faults, we softly dwell.
For in those cracks, the light gets in—
And makes us whole, beneath the skin.

It's not just marriage, nor a vow,
But deeper than the world allows.
A sacred bond, unnamed, unseen—
Yet felt where hearts have always been.

When they are near, the world turns still,
Their footstep sings, the air grows still.
Their breath, their walk, their quiet beat—
A melody in silence sweet.

Devotion woven, thread by thread,
Alive in tears, in joy, in dread.
Through hurt and high, through loss and gain,
They hold your soul in love’s refrain.

A sacrifice not made to boast,
But one that feeds your spirit most.
Not “I am right”—but “we are whole,”
Together braving every toll.

What is love? You ask again—
It’s where you face the world through rain.
It’s solace in a bond so deep,
Like mother’s love, before we weep.

What is love? You ask once more—
It’s when two hearts, through every war,
Still choose each other, every time,
In silence, speech, in storm, in rhyme.

Whether friend, or blood, or fate,
In every form, love resonates.
It is not owned, it is not named—
It’s felt. It’s lived. It’s never tamed
"A reflection on how love exists beyond labels—pure, tender, and eternal."

corazón, and 'happiness':


dos corazones.
For Linda B, on the occasion of her 60th birthday

Collection "The Big Secret"
Ten years, my tears, and his last breaths.

Wrapped in a white sheet, I carry him outside.

Later, my pick and shovel in hand.

It's hot, and the backyard weeds are tough to pull from the high ground.

The sky is iridescent blue. I wish it would rain

I swing the pick and hit dry ground.

The gray slate slab, the black painted letters poke above the tall grass.

I run my hand along the stone and whisper words only he and I can hear.

I wish it would rain.
