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

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

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
