I imagine
your gaze is fixed toward outer-space, your face is moonlit, and I'm convinced you're heaven sent

I imagine my back is pressed against your chest and I'm safe in your arms

I imagine, when you breathe, a breath touches my neck, awaking every cell in my body

I imagine you could say, I'm excited by you.

I imagine you ignite the flames that forge the sun; and thus, release the slowly seeping and fervent energy. . .

Meaning, I'd imagine, you're the reason for my being, each and every day

the universe speaks in synchronicity
and I imagine our minds do dance around the thought—

to trace each-other's existence; to transcend space-time, guided by the fingertips

to experience the depths of sentience; it's an exploration of creation, the very allure putforth by grand design

And I imagine, that while we reach for the stars, your eyes would match mine

And in an explosion of discovery, you extinguish what it feels to be lonely

And I imagine that's why
You're my one and only
evermore

Hummingbird has a message
Things aren’t as they appear
Hot lava on marble stairs
Man knows the end is near

A hole is in the floor
The case is not packed right
Hurry, hurry, time to go
Don’t want to miss the flight

The daughter leaves the pack
The mother watches with fear
Aperture click, perspectives switch
The pack is bad, no coast is clear

Hummingbird dips and dives
Fury boils, screams enter ether
The drain is clogged, the bridge is broken
Distractions nibble, gnaw and eat her

Then sparkling violet flowers
Cascade from the long black hair
Running fast and leaping far
Bionic energy in the air

One spirit in three persons
Find the baby in the brush
Flat bike tire, dusty road
Must go faster, in a rush

Road too steep, car too weak
Never ready for the journey
Lava’s rising, getting closer
Bend the mirror, twist the time key

Now you appear as you
But you also are in others
Woman, child, mother, daughter
Humming bird knows how to hover

My son is like me:
when I'm not looking he snakes
through the grass and bushy-tails
up the alder to look out

with wing eyes – he shouts
to the wind where he will go:
far beyond the neighbours
across borders and sunken ships

to the bears of Europe
Bern, Berlin, fool Madrid
Mistress Marseille and the sea
of Seattle, to watch the sun

rise in the large world
outside the wall around our garden
with the squeaky gate
which, opened carefully

gives a ***** of a view

I discovered you somewhere in the void
Between hope and glory, where words collide
With the need for story,
In that void where restless despair resides,
Where you meet the broken hearts to avoid.

I discovered you at the end of strength
Between fear and surprise, where all hopes fade
Ere fate can realize,
The mistakes that my hopelessness has made,
With expectations abandoned at length.

I discovered you in a world beyond,
Between here and never, where fortune lies
Promising forever,
In hushed awe I could not believe my eyes,
I ardently prayed to have YOU respond.

If traveling through space
Is an odyssey,
What is it called
When I search your soul
And find Nirvana?

Expanses of sky
Open up to
Opportunity—
Where will the wind
Take me?
Can I sail on the current
Of air and smoke
To a place where I
Can start anew?
Can I wander on the ether
To a world that is understanding
Of the hustle and bustle
And ever happening of life,
And a place that will bring me
Empathy
In a world that is filled with
Void?
I daydream
On the airplane,
30,000 feet
Above the reality
Of a world where I am known
As a number
Rather than a name

We both have this need for attention - to be loved
Being alone absolutely terrifies us
Yet we're content being alone together

He understands rules and knows how he should behave and so do I
However, we both falter at times - we can be a bit too much for some

I have sat and wondered endlessly about these things trying to figure out how we could be nearly the same
With the answer in front of me the entire time

Our pasts have shaped us
Both of us were left behind by the people we loved the most
We trusted them and they tossed us aside
The trauma of being thrown away and withered down made us who we are
