Poetry

Vanitas

Moment, preceded by the choice to let go or have lost

Empty when stolen

Overshadowed by greed

Home

There is a little house on the bridge between Dictatorship and Democracy

It’s walls are bound by memories of a home that may never have existed, and yet is still on the brink of disappearance

Leaving this house means you may not find your way back

How do you save a history unlived?

Honesty

In the depths of her eyes

I hope you see a reflection of your own beauty

She is the moon

Gentle, tender, subtle and patient

She is the moon

And you are gravity

Steady, consistent, powerful and grounded

The night sky your stage

May your love transcend time

Surfers dot the waves

Fall in when the time is right

Not always by choice

Timing

A single tendril of your curls

Holds as much infinite possibility as has been fathomed by mankind through history

May you bound through time with certainty in your soul

Cherished be the ground you walk upon in the ether of my thoughts

Trouble in Paradise

For how many thousand splendid sunsets

Shall I hold my tongue

Your arms feel fickle

My ears fall upon still lips

Silence overtakes the bridge between our joy

We are alone

Know your worth

And value of those who know your worth

Dancing comedians are not dancing from the heart.
Maybe they’re just somber forever.

For my Uncle

Dear CEO Father,

Are you keeping your children well? Loved? Nurtured?

Have you given your son the confidence to tread this ground with his head held high?

Where are your children?

Are they safe from the darkness that lonely nights poison?

If all love is longing, then let me grow taller than the tower of London

For the longer I wait for you

The shorter grows my patience

Ode to Cheerios

I hope you don’t miss me

When I’m gone

Love yourself and be excited about what’s left

Of the world

Of your Spirit

You deserve all the passion this life has to offer

I might have loved you

But it’s not about me

And there is no Us

And maybe there never was

Be well

Find your good in life

Fragility

Better left unmet, babe

How do I not break your gentle stillness?

I don’t know now
I won’t know later
