Today, the opened door  
loosed sharp memory,
someone missing from the rituals,
the glitter bright edges of the season
showed that they can catch,
draw tears,
with only long years
returning the absent love

Dying is not a crime
But for playing God
I'll probably do time

Pretty little euthanasia
My disconnected phone
Always going home

That open window
To the fire escape
I am the center of a lake

The kids next door
Liked to play with me
Now we don't see them anymore

my fingers trace your skin,
as your lips trace mine.
leaving love marks in a trail,
as our bodies align.

in this blissful moment
nothing is wasted.
my pieces no longer feel broken,
with the wholeness that you have created.

your eyes on my lips that are slightly agape,
your breath on my neck as you tell me to wait.
not much longer and we'll both explode,
as we unravel time is slowed.

i get lost in your eyes;
bluer than the bluest of icy skies.
i just want your lips
and that unbreakable kiss.

this is what it's like when we loved each other

I live in a whirlwind of love
When she leaves
I’m in the eye of the storm
Too quiet

Soccer in the street
He and I - maybe ten minutes ...

     but years later, I remember.
