Words as solid objects take the shape of moving air if intention could be felt through skin what protection would one wear? Thoughts are heavy objects to speak them is relief but the burden collects like leaden dust around the listener’s feet. The mind creates these objects it thinks but cannot speak and as these objects fill its space they become the speaker, me.

Words As Solid Objects
Smooth as softened alabaster Their scent to you an immeasurable bliss Where the sun tucks the moon beneath his chin Rests an endless dream no more than a wish (4LINE)

Above My Chest, Beneath My Chin, She Fits
Skies too small and colorless Waters too calm and chaos intent The earth too round, too bound and true Too much my hopes for you

Falling stars always appear so far So bright as they burst with their last dying light How crazy is it to think that we, humanity May see, but will never feel, their burning light (4LINE)

If I Knew Before I Knew
Twist and turn, our woven ways Make gaps no more to close Let death be the only unweaver of us Tied to myself, you’re close

Skein (4LINE)
Deep and somber currents cold Turn beneath a calming surface young As darkness subsides above as below No older have I grown (4LINE)

Silt Settling Beneath Cold Water
Where the sea meets the horizons shine Inquisitive your eyes Where your hairline meets your eyebrows raised There also are mine and my praise (4LINE)

Though The Seas Catch Fire
No mountain range is worth the hike with you by side Nor seat stays warm in conversive pace Though it’s sad to see wasted such a pretty sunrise Your particular light is not to my eyesight a pleasant taste

I'm Sorry (4LINE)
You can try to hide your emotions Put on a mask that has a painted smile But the eyes never lie And a mask has holes to see

Until When?
Closing eyes to remain alive No breath remains intact With open mind over Pacific ends No Atlantic hope will last
