You have to remember
your steps do not echo
on deaf ears
and in stillness,
silences meld with
solaces
Full heart, it cannot close
and in your eyes
swirl most delicate
flecks of
Gold.
You have to know that
those you
love
are those that
see
all
that I know in you
Resonate
every grain
even though
synthetic
lies beneath wrapped yarn
and when
pain
floods through light
Please.
Take your path
for on it is nothing but
Gold.
Know
That I love you.
When autumn sun rises and kisses the night sky farewell,
Know that I love you.
When late night's breeze tickles your tender cheek pink,
Know that I love you.
As long as the winding river that takes my soul
along each gentle ridge in the river bend,
Let my love be the bridge that guides you
safely over the soft tides.
And should other hands take yours,
And should other eyes hold you
so delicately
in each gentle laugh line's crease,
Let my arms be those you drift into
when you lay your sleeping head
amongst the stars,
And let my lips be those yours,
so soft and tender,
find in the late winter's c
There are days I want to run
screaming into the night,
but then I remember
what's down the road for me,
and I can't seem
to go anywhere but
forward.
I am
depleted
I am
careworn..
these hands,
swollen, and calloused..
but I am so in love,
tightness in my chest
that flows through me
like a deep mahogany
rich in caramel melody.
I never thought
I'd
fall this
in
love you like the yarn
loves the rosewood
in warm tones that
resonate like the
arches in Rome.
I want to sink into your arms
like a sweet melody
and it's a giant fluffy blanket
while my eyelids lower to let dreams
fill with the harmony.
I once asked a composer,
"Where do you draw from?"
as the tidal waves of his rhythms
and his melodies crashed over my head.
Where do you draw from,
that something so strong
can come from your fingertips.
Something that speaks of a beyond,
profound as the rising sun, yet
silent as black notes on paper,
that gyrate like snowflakes
in the middle of July.
The first time I met you
I melted, just like the
snowman under those fireworks
with all those notes swirling.
I never thought I'd find you
yet there you were, waiting,
while a child ran through the house
with chopsticks, pretending
everything in sight was a drum.

Literature
when the morn grows dark and cold
I thought of you
as the nail polish crackled
on my toes,
spreading across the surface
the same way water floods
dry desert plains, thirsty
for droplets that waited to fall;
Just like I waited for you
as the sun dropped
beneath the horizon
while crumpled leaves
danced across my feet
like ballerinas in a tornado.
I need you
unnervingly, exhaustingly so..
It is what keeps those memories
coming back
in such a fluid nature.
But the melody keeps me warm.
Rich chords;
enveloping as a hot shower
on a cold morn.
Tidal waves of violet,
maroon and caramel,
spackeled with droplets of silver.
How peaceful,
as it all trickles down.

thoughts while driving home
Brown eyes
murky, stained-glass windows
to the worn-leather sole
Heavy eyes
because the red inside is so dense
that these weathered veins trudge
on broken soles down twisting,
writhing, ashen roads.
They long to run, to move timelessly again,
to feel the blazing, green adrenaline pulsing
in all directions.
Run, to where the earth stretches itself out,
to where the sky and land meet in the most tender
kiss of light, of fate, and the burn, the bright crimson
burn that's lived in these fibers since the dawn.
Trust, my child, and your stumbling, running legs
will no longer feel that burn that will remit to

Tell me you're of no beauty
I'll say otherwise
Such celest
so serene,
innocent
in Glory, could not disguise;
In delicate hands
all I am
in gentle crimson caressed,
Sweet embrace
and cerulean scents
In grace, kept I dressed.
Behind gentle lids
among which mine door'lifs flutter
doth deep beauty soar,
Cascading among shuddered
celests
Beyond dashed darks
as though none'd passed,
Until to rest
in my arms once more
Rain drops trickled
like passive typewriter keys
while we waited patiently,
In silence
on a cold spring afternoon.
Steps carried across pavement
as droplets quickened their pace,
dancing about the pane
as if among white keys;
All the while, gazing upon glass
where just on the other side
Such a peace, had come to pass.
I reached for you in darkness,
yet coldness returned the grasp.
You are gone, but only so;
such vox, that can still clasp
All held with thee,
have it all already past.
In silence we waited,
as hurried steps returned.
Lest the rain shall mix with salt;
remembrance must,
that none were at fault.
