The low yellow
moon above the
Quiet lamplit house.

-lights out-
fall, hands a-clasped, into instantaneous
ecstasy like a shot of ****** or morphine,
the gland inside of my brain discharging
the good glad fluid (Holy Fluid) as
i hap-down and hold all my body parts
down to a deadstop trance-Healing
all my sicknesses-erasing all-not
even the shred of a 'I-hope-you' or a
Loony Balloon left in it, but the mind
blank, serene, thoughtless. When a thought
comes a-springing from afar with its held-
forth figure of image, you spoof it out,
you spuff it off, you fake it, and
it fades, and thought never comes-and
with joy you realize for the first time
'thinking's just like not thinking-
So I don't have to think
any
more'

The taste
of rain
—Why kneel?
Matterhorn Nov 2018
Graphite looks nice in the light,
Like stars in a pitch black night,
Words popping like popcorn...

I’m torn;
Why do the girls over there laugh at me?
Am I like some comedy act—but free?
Perhaps it’s my face
Or the way I like to trace
These words on this table,
These little meaningless fables
Flowing straight from my mind,
Only to be left behind
On this starry night sky,
Installed by some guy
That nobody knows
Or remembers when he goes...

Matterhorn Nov 2018
An empty room,
Full of ancient boxes
And *******
And other discarded things,
Accumulated over
Years and years;
But still, emptiness.

I return to this
Room more often than not
When I am
Trying to remember them,
Remember the things I
Left behind;
But they are gone.

Picking the threads of LOVE memories
By weaving my mornings and evenings
That is how I've survived eternity
By unconditionally LOVING YOU

Though I meet you within me every moment
Still I long for you day and night

You took away my life to live for yourself
And left me with a paper and pen
To write YOU letters, quotes and poems every day

You took away the blood out of my veins
And kept me alive on your drips of LOVE

You took away my breathe from my body
And filled me with fragrance of your being

You took yourself away from me
And left behind your SOUL within me

You walk away from my heart
But with every step you took
You traveled back within (inside) me
Carving imprints of your LOVE-feet
Over my mind, body, heart & soul

Everywhere I look - I search for YOU
You are not present physically
Yet I can only see - YOU, You, you
In everything I look at...

You rendered my heart in black & white
Yet I draw you everyday with
The colors of your LOVE that
You left on my illuminated heart's palette

We do not sleep together on the same bed
Yet I make sure that you do not sleep without
Listening to my LOVE lullaby every night

Come and see -
In and around me
YOU sparkle like stars in my night-sky
YOU shine like the bright moon outside my window
YOU adorn colorful flowers in my day-garden

YOU took away my strength to walk in life
Yet YOU usher me slowly
Step by step - teaching me
To walk within your SOUL

You took away my strength to talk confidently
But taught me to sing a LOVE song for YOU

YOU left with me a bunch of paper flowers
I dip them into my blood
And present them back to YOU every morning
Representing the LOVE of real and alive
Beautiful flowers of our LOVE

I do not know about others who are with YOU
But you make my world go round
By just your mere presence on this earth

Though the world sees me aloof-alone all the time
Still everyone who sees me
Calls me as your TRUE LOVERz
And calls me only by your name...
BELOVEDz-LOVERz


**Notes:**
*These are the Eternal truths of our LOVE
Tied as threads with which
We weave our LOVE story*
