you were

night

And the night
was never when we were together

black

Why do the stars reside in your eyes
and why is the night sky pitch black?

song

I’ve never heard you sing
of beauty
                  of love
                               of rage

And your soul has never found me
through the channels your whisper follows

rhyme

And your name
though so beautiful
has never rhymed with mine

wall

A grand wall towers between us
One side of it sighs
and the other cries
And on the wall there is hope
and on the wall there is no one

stars

On the night of our stars’ falling
and perhaps of some tears that join
my eyes were shut
holding them in
your eyes were not
and you were not
there

intimate

Can the fingers count
the fireworks that shoot to the sky
when our breaths come together
and beats become one

resonance

And will our eyes ever see that moment
our hands touch each other
voices find resonance?
Or are we to remain a dream forever

poison

Hold my hand, for I’m afraid
for your absence
is the densest weight on my shoulders
Leave my hand, for I’m afraid
of never letting you go
and sneaking into your veins

2

And two is a dreadful number
for it is where choices begin

spirit

As if your ghost chases the sun
when it sets down
you rise up
and haunt me throughout the night

notebook

And every night I visit these pages
expecting to find you
and you reside here
where my pen writes you

vanishing

As my solitude is disturbed
by noises in the foreground
oh how it hurts to admit
that your image fades further

Hang on, my dear, cling
to my eyes, paint love
to my ears, sing love
to my skin, carve love
and I will find you
and time can not hide you

surrender

Fear
         finds a way to seep in
as my arms couragously let you go

there

My legs ran today
further from where you are or will be
for now is dangerous
and I will keep, my dear
keep on running around the world
to appear next to you on a different day

“We” is now a seed
bitter, stiff, and helpless
the passing of time will help
and the seed will flourish
and we will rest under a tree
only if we agree
to let go of today

If only I could…
my legs ran today
but my mind stayed in yesterday
for you were there
and how marvelous is it that
you were there
and I could sense you

hedgehog

Hedgehog does not get cold
it just wants to cuddle
it just wants to be able to

1

And as you left that one last time
as you hurried to catch the time
you forgot your kiss in my dreams
but worry not my precious one
for I will take care of its needs
