#lasting
the dropping stone dead
a universal known fact
understood to happen
when one least expects it.

Have I made marks on you
Do you see them
On your body
Do they come and go
Do they remind you of me
To live
To be
To touch
To feel
Will they remain forever
ineffaceable marks, remain?
From your heel
Nice and slow
Just look at you...
Easy does it
There you go

We are apart, the frayed red string is broken
One soul now scattered, across two galaxies
The ocean of my heart , with a tsunami can't reach yours
Ego refused to sail the boundary, leaving us with cold memories.
Tinted sky sets with warm sun,
I sit in peace, miss my shoulder with your head
Flowers of Magnolia are, scattered on the field
Your tresses in the air, the beauty you won.
Who will now embellish you?
My fingers , your hair , is now a wide divide.
My smile, your talk, is now faded apart.
My hug , your warm, is now gone from my life.
Is this what you've decided?

Fall into the night where my dreams can rule,
Came upon me a time of purity that's not cruel,
Don't wake me, or wrap me in familiar lies,
I long for that pure spark that never dies.
Release the hidden truth, let it flow deep,
Dripping memories as bygones weep,
Don’t give me hope, don’t give me a faith misled,
Nor Knowledge or power, give innocence instead.
Don’t give me temporal beauty, nor what’s divine,
Just give me simple truth, and I’ll be just fine.
In a awakened world where dreams can fade,
I’m shedding masks that I've portrayed.
Let me breathe easy, let me see now clear,
For youth of innocence is what holds me here.
Convey hearts like in infancy, piercing through the dark.
Come out among the gray ones with their tired remarks.
Chains link then shatter, releases all to be,
With innocence unbound, our spirit can see.

Forget me not when we were but two buds basking in the warmth of sun's rays
Forget me not when we were curious critters seeking endless adventures
Forget me not when we were bravely sailing through life's tides
Forget me not when we were embracing tightly in the face of hardships
Forget me not when we were two withered flowers reminiscing the bloom of youth
Forget me not when we were no longer bound but two stars illuminating the endless sky
Forget me not for I shall never forget you

A promise ,
One that shattered my trust.
A promise,
That surely won't last.
A promise, one, at last
For I'm sorry I keep living in the past,
But I saw a light, far far away
Now I hope it's worth the wait,
Until I dig myself from the grave,
I fell into, drowned in pain.
I broke my trust,
I knew for sure.
Thought I tried to give my best,
My life was only headed west.
It won't last,
I'll never reach the end.
For the treasure is nowhere I can see,
I'll give away my life for free.
It won't last,
A promise.
It shattered my trust,
A promise.

interwoven hands,
they walk side by side
along the lane of sand.
beyond the retreating waves,
everything else is hushed;
the sense of isolation, of
being away from the hour’s rush
makes for a breathing space.
“the whole world is waiting for us,” she says.
“let them,” is his response.
“the world belongs to us.”
and it did.

Good times are so few and far between
Hardly seen
Never lasting
If I never find another, what do you think that could mean?
Blink and you'll miss 'em
So I remove the eyelids, see, I can listen
And I don't sleep for a reason
I hear that's deaths cousin...
...it's not the weirdest thing to believe in

When criminal activity at a place doesn't cease
all the people will never enjoy any lasting peace.

A money system that’s built to last
Breeds long-term insights to our views
And money that inflates quite fast
Breeds short-term actions as we choose
A money system stable and sound
Gives us decades to work and build
Nurture each other - nurture the ground
As dreams and lives become fulfilled
Lasting families, lasting goals
Lasting buildings, lasting states
A lasting vision for our souls
Knowing that our wealth awaits
An unsound money kills our dreams
As every system falls apart
Hopes are torn up by the seams
And all are shaken - losing heart
The “fiat standard” rings unsound
Backed by nothing - quite unjust
A better standard we have found
The Bitcoin Standard - we can trust

There is a house in Newport Green
They call it the sturdy one
It withstood all kinds of stormy weather
Ever since time had begun
If you're wondering why it's still there
Even though it moans and groans
Never mind smart wood construction
It lasted thanks to good bones

Lament the tall sweet meadow grass
where wind no longer blows
lament the lark that’s taken wing
and left us only crows
but you and I endure my love
through rain and wind and sun
for only time can part the ways
when two hearts beat as one

Such angry hunger pains
how the world quivers and shakes,
while men and women
fresh from their work,
whisper the toll it takes;
as clay forms lay listening
glistening, and salted in their beds.
However, not an alarm is raised
not a single head turns
we are safe, comes the lie
we are secure, comes the swallowed pill.
As we close our eyes
and prepare for borrowed sleep
I think with great dismay:
oh, what a difference,
does indifference make for us sheep.

Last-ting Pleasures (Leonard Cohen)
“Morning coffee on the balcony of this old duplex, the cat at my feet, and a couple of biscuits. Notebook near by. No one coming over.“
Leonard Cohen
<>
aging with graces saved from so many spectacular failures, I took droplets of wisdom where they were free to drink, yet
the best, were the most costly, for which you never end paying
but here I sit, well traveled, in Los Angeles sunshine, do my calculations, my final preparations, memorizing the blessings
so they flow easy, no stumbling, unbefitting a poet-writer lover
obligations diminished, bills paid, goodbyes said and spent, so long Marianne, lines of jewish buddhists wisdom seekers not too long, a few women come, last looks, a reminiscence for themselves
lovers seeking preservation, a signatory on their diaries, proofs, of what I know no longer know to state, sated, the statuary
sentence almost served, and last scribbles, to notebook dispatched
It is His Will, and yet here I am, asking forgiveness, as tradition demands and more, understanding, for it was all transcribed into praise of You and your god-sparked creatures, ah, bon chance, until we meet again, bring your robe and tallit, let us recite psalms
for if there was ever a wilder king, finer poet, lusting for life and god, all of us just birds on the wire, gambling which course to fly, where to, so waiting patient, resolution of the only remaining unanswered question, who by fire?
anyone, each of us, who first asked ourselves why not! before we ever thought,
why?

Gelid
Sequela
Hearts melted as candles
Congeal into isolated connections
Pressed upon the lips of urgent ice
And both of these shall ever be
Till the gods to destruction go

for all the lost, everlasting lovers
~for mara~
*why this morning does the emoting
cast me backwards to all my lost lovers,
imagined and real, yet lasting in crevices hidden,
that beckon, asking to be reclaimed,
recalling when our names combined, many meetings
of lips, kisses so old, decades, yet so well realized
that to see, taste them, is blink, easily accomplished
day beginning, with deep penetrating glances rearward,
unclear how this clarifies the muddled visions of what
the future dreams may contain, ah, love and pain,
love and pain, a tango tangled tandem, indeed,
one hopes the past is prologue, pro for lips sensitized logged,
those kisses past, kisses yet dreamt, those works-in-process
stir the body to rise from the couch, to stretch my arms
up/skyward, grab jeans, go the Persian immigrant on the corner,
for a bun and a black coffee, who wishes me a good new year,
stunned silent when embrace him with hands-full, for his wish for me
enables a gratitude overcoming that only strangers can give;
those lost lovers yet lasting, thank them too, wish them happy year,
winter warmth, comfort them in my crevices-kept, forever retained
Love you, miss you, never gone, never forgotten, ever first,*
everlasting...

No paint speaks for me
My favorite words fall utterly short
And I, no song could ever be you
And yet I can see you here
Before you are known
Before you exist in this world of mine
I can see you as if you were in present time
Just as if you were already mine

Waking up isn't the
challenge.
The struggle, is lasting
the day.
To realise you have another
morning to feel alive.

You have a voice.
That I admire so much.
It carries well and sounds
So clear and humble.
So I decided I should speak
And maybe it was a noise
Or some pretense that drew me in
But I waited for the
Pluck and note
Of the casual up and downs
Your tongue rhythms.
But it’s always at a cost
To have you,
That you speak to me empty
Like the endless droll
Of a receiver left unanswered.

You carry me softly on a sweet melody
So clear, it cries with the wonder
Of innocence, born into a blue fringed day
I feel the vibration of my heart-strings and see
Loves poetry begin to stir
And your eyes hold me, they say
Everything
I was living a dream of existence, it was true
Happy on my independent rock
Treading through the dating tide
Seeing so many, wanting to be you
You, who brought this life change shock
Lost my wits, as the walls were stripped aside
Baffling
Softly, as a sigh that swung like a hammer blow
You spoke and I was suddenly deaf to the world
Only your voice filled this earthly plane
I was the gravity for your living blinding glow
In its growing warmth, my closed heart unfurled
Like petals welcoming the sun, putting on a show
Startling
I could lose my way in your forest brown gaze
As they look deep, into the soul of me
No-where to hide, my secrets all laid bare
I can foresee the future of my days
Can you read my mind, can you see
A love entwined, so pure and rare
Everlasting

My heart for you unchanging

On the rocky shore of a calm mountain lake
A small stone smooth and simple was cast in joy
Fast upon the serene waters did it break
Sending ripples fitting to the caster's ploy
What once was still with excitement now did quake
And though the scene was changed it did not annoy
But caused a wonder, "How many waves would make?"
Much like the pleasures love to hearts can deploy
Love has struck upon the face of our hushed hearts
Like guitar strings now impassioned souls vibrate
And caught up in sensation amusement darts
Not knowing how many trembles now await
All that can be known is when the movement starts
No person, though still they try, can bliss dictate
It, the lot that must be seen by all sweethearts
Enjoy the splendor and seize uncharted fate

In moments when time seems infinite
and reality is the beating of voices
between lost souls
In moments when grays bloom into whites
and smiles transform into embraces
from heart to heart
There are these moments that will never wither
never fade from the colors of our eyes
as the ticking goes by
