He was in love. It burned him inside and turned his heart to gold. Let me ask you, is that any state to make decisions in? To defend your country? To act with integrity? He had to die.

everywhere is filled with you

We end at our beginning
star-soaked branches
tear-watered thorns

Every inch & acre
of this garden drenched
in petal-colored kisses
& moontouched

I birch my soul
that wafts itself through
this place
fond of every
My love
perrenial as golden Ginko

And I hungered for
her love like a bee unsated
craves for a drop of nectar.
Oblivious, that my love wouldn't be reciprocated.
by love, I keep aflame this torch of unrequited feelings,
Will I forever remain a jinxed lover?
Star-crossed and ill-fated?

Their love is a tale as old as time,
doomed by the gods,
yet redeemed by chance
Metamorphoses – magic,
it’s real and it asks,
"Will you c̶h̶a̶n̶g̶e̶?"
Scratch that -
"Can we just stay the same?"
Write it down -
the spell
Neverending
Evermore

I know you love this guy, fair lady, I know deep down you badly ache for me,
a priori assumptions I don't make.
Deny not yourself the joy of love, repress not the echoes that resound through thy heart, oh, don't bottle up your desires, for pity's sake!

Before these roses that bear the thorn
Bring your heartless wounded soul
Watch how my love
Like water to my garden
Soaks it
Touches it
Transforms it
From bitter to sweet
From fallen to risen
From wilted to flourishing
In every way, a love that will say
Restored

Hapless Stingy Jack
Had a vile reputation
A deceiver, a liar
Found himself in a precarious situation
Doomed to roam the dark
The Devil threw him a flame
Jack tossed it in a Jack-O-Lantern
And gave the gourd its name
🎃🎃🎃


Based on the Legend of Stingy Jack

me
In a churning ocean
I toss and turn
Line of latitude
Meridian
All lost
And silent is my compass
Hapless hull
Doomed your unberthing
No hope for berthing
Unwelcoming the harbours
Hostile the lands
Like Don Quixote of the sea
The enemies i war
with wooden sword

They come to visit often, always with some story, some advice, or just to say hello. She was now accustomed to them dropping by. Her prayer was that her life as a reluctant medium continued
"Reluctant? We are here reading your words, you know,"
She knew.

bespeaks two
with

stars in their eyes

a river

within

their heart’s tide
like the sun rising

over the crescent-shaped horizon line

Pockets heavy with dreams
collection of
encapsulated flight moments
Aerial swirl with a
mesmerizing trails of entwining glides

Hidden from the light
hiding and watching tonight.

A battle axe in one hand
and a shield in the other

the Seraphim watches

and

waits for the sunlight.

“In the first circles, they,
whom thou beheld’st
Are and Cherubim.
Thus swift
Follow their hoops,
in likeness to the point,
Near as they can, approaching;
and they can
The more, the loftier their vision.”
~ Beatrice to Dante
Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy

come
bring the sweetness of kisses stolen in dark alleys
the snow in ghastly cemeteries is too high
the gnostic knowledge of the ones who died
your poems breathing solitude & myrrh
the untranslated birth of shooting stars

I see the stars

True story:
I've been having a lot of
Last night I dreamt I had a balloon
Full of toxic gas
I couldn't figure out how to dispose of it
The night before, a hurricane
During which my car was stolen
Stress is doing a number on me
I hope my head clears soon

When a dream becomes a

I can drift off
And my child is on a swing
Laughing, not a care in the world
His future in the hands of fate
And then
The unthinkable

That’s when it begins …
