The Gods
have worlds
as nations
Up where
stars
and planets spin
The wars
go on
for aeons
and no one
ever wins
Their souls
absorb
all the pain
as greed
still feeds
the sin
Forever has
no meaning now
It can all
begin again

full of pain in the seen &
beauty in the sheen

of the unseen &

in the heart of trees
beating maple colored sap

inside the veins of a love

Blue pearls

Undressed and thrown
into the heat
Wunderkind life

Silent love letters,
written in the silence of my mind
for my absent wunderkind.
I wonder if you still remember me,
and all of what could be?
Decades past,
our love didn’t last
and your absence still fetters,
leaving me filled
with silent love letters.

Though vision may
Hope and faith must not.
I cannot see all things
But I know the One who has already seen the scroll of Time
Unrolled from beginning to end.

reminds me of you

like cherries in the summertime
a state of mind

sets in, reified
by the feelings inside

built
out of centuries of trade

Do you remember the price we paid?

As do I.

I also know it’s okay
as our love will burn until the end of days

Lying down on the forest floor
dipping in my mood, using

thousand & ten noisy brush strokes
of oak & redwood leaves

wind paints
splashes the sky argentine

messy splatters everywhere
fall on me as pearly gloss

canvas tears, colors
and lush me up with golden hues

Lost within
mine own
of you
Drowning in
the memories
too few
Your soul now swims
amongst the celestial seas
While mine yearns to
take the plunge
& swim them alongside you ...

A wisp of perfume,
Vision of chocolate
Mauve hair,
Sent his senses reeling,
The essence of her was
Everywhere,
Can one love as he does?
by innocent
Eyes and a candid smile,
He breathe her in like air,
Making her a particle of
everything,
Such was love for him.

You were never meant to be mine
But every now and then
Feel my skin tingling
Miniature explosions of pleasure
Marking their path
Perhaps aftershocks of our love from a universe
Suffused in pink glow of reflected passion, I wonder
Or just breaths between dreams

Your thoughts are closed to me.
They don't leak into your eyes,
Your smile is a fake for the world.
With such a
The builds between us.
I try,
But you have me beaten.
Your walls will never crumble to my love.
