The Lesser

Ah, the artifice

even I can smell it

fractured face stone

in my Wadi el Hol

I didn't need that information

Passed on through 

without a soul.

Ah, he always chooses the lesser

Inner fear of endless growth

and I on this beanstalk

seeking giants

to crush

the roots of it

for us both. 

Still

I shed this tear

into the dirt

of this park

for you

Because I love you

as I loved you

Because I remember

Because it's the same

potential

emotions

content

But our context has changed

and my beautiful morning

and our fated farewell

reminds me

my pearl nights 

have ended

and I love you still

as I loved you

still life-

It is now in the museum of my heart.

Two Glasses

Pour two glasses into one

this hybrid feeling of completion

That's how I made you 

to be in me

to fulfill 

overspill

How does it feel to be the liquid in my glass;

the content of a soul?

How does it feel to have won this life

only to meet your master?

Careless Wind

If you lost

me to

the breeze, 

could you

forgive

yourself,

careless wind?

Knowing perhaps I loved you

and you blew it?

Shattered

The glass

my heart

Shattered

What's the difference?

Habeñera

Eros and Chaos

have more in common 

than at first 

we understand

 You were erotic 

in a chaotic rush

left you holding my hand

gave you my good

my light

you joined me in a perfect match

tied

love

bound

found but now good bye

sad bye sweet bye

together and controlled

which one of us from this old nest will fly?

and which will be left cold to freeze?

It seems the free bird always finds the breeze

Two Pieces

Two pieces of a broken heart

One light, one dark

One I will keep as mine

One I hope I'll leave behind

And try with wire, fire, and tape

To form this half to a full heart shape

Feed it with new love so it grows

And hope my new love never knows

so much was lost

but so it goes.
