Do not be deceived
A merciless path this is
Perfection’s deceit
Tag: life
Gulfs and Such
Upon the edge I sit,
Staring across
A gulf of white,
Brutal, bitter, cold
Sings it’s song
Of death and delight.
And I know, within
My being’s depths
That the path across
Is life, vigorous and true,
Fully, finally alive.
Thoughts on Relationships
One key goal for us,
Remove the drainers of joy,
And replace with love.
Technology And…
Glorious blinking lights full
Of potential and power
Yet, sunlit live wins.
Analogies of Rivers
Upon life’s river
Flowing gracefully downwards
Or crashing rapids
Guides for Love
There are the songs
Step by step guides
Pour amore. Formulaic
Algorithms, hearts,
Just simple functions.
Human hearts don’t
Work that way.
Intense complexities.
Love’s quest often
Maddeningly murky.
Love entails risk
Confessing our
Passion, perhaps
Unreturned. Painfully
Raw moments.
Sunlight’s Call
Always seek the sun
Sunlight through the clouds
Longing to be found.
Reflections
Into myself I dive
Collapsing my life
Into a single
Moment, everything
Becomes clear, but then
Fades beyond my grasp.
Experiences
Experiences
Flowing downwards to my soul
Freedom blossoms forth.
Within the heart
Strange torturous song
Delight, anguish born anew
Without it we die.
