Time Is the Invention of Men Incapable of Love

"le temps est une invention des gens incapable d'aimer"

mine is a suspended time 
away from here and sublime. 
there are open doors and windows to my world. 
they are hung and hinged in many flavors swirled.

a phantom paints 
the thoughts of saints 
he draws as he scrawls 
on my bedroom walls. 

welcome to my machine 
it is here we convene 
all of my thoughts all of my ideas and moods. 
here where from every pore my life exudes.

this is the one place i come home to. 
far away from where i live and grew.
 i search areas where no man has trod. 
on my boat just me and my fishing rod.

"toujours les grand coeurs aimeront"

As men we feel we alone have explored the paths that our ancestors have traveled before us. I enjoyed looking into your windows and walking through your doorway. You are a wonderfully expressive poet.
