About the doors of our hearts
I opened the door to my heart
and had let it speak without a fence.
If you did close the door to your heart
"Do not worry", I give you that assurance.
Just be a keeper of the trust
by not using
any of our free and fiery conversations
to suddenly break my heart and the world
in an instance.

It was over
How a caring and kind gentleman,
Changed into an indifferent and cold blooded in a short instance.
Why was he so mean to me,
Can't keep the simple fun loving friendship,
His relationship was not everything I need.
Yes, he infected me with his poison affections,
But, he could not destroy me with his treatments.
I wished I knew what has

In An Instance I'm Gone
In an instance I am gone
It is replayed on a loop
Mostly for family
Sometimes for friends
Definitely for exes
It is not always personal
It's random
But sometimes it feels urgent
To avoid pain
Even though pain is inevitable
It is something I can't outrun
But I still feel liberated
Absent from atonement
I only fear for the future
That I will be standing alone
Perhaps standing

Keeping Constance At a Distance
Mark gave his honest Instance
Of the very circumstance
In which men kept their distance
From Next-Door Neighbor Constance
Anchoring it in Mischance,
All Adams to take no chance,
As An Embittered Constance
Had thrice shot three from near distance,
Their mouths gaping in Askance,
Even as their hit bodies did a funny dance …
You mark All Adams, An Embittered Constance
After ill-luck

Life and Death In An Instance of Time
The flash of the light
The bang of the sound
The body and bullet caught in an instance of time
The thud on the ground
The smoke disappears into the cold, dead air as does the soul of your life.
The smile in your eyes
The romance in your heart
The sorrows of your mind
The joys of your life
Stripped away by one

Prevent Instance
Prevent Instance
What we will need is a preclusion,
Which will always prevent effusion,
And left out,
Without a doubt,
So we can avoid all the confusion.

The Instance Called Love
Have you ever overcome a distance?
With your cell phone you get voice assistance,
With your cell you get only to listen,
But I know of an instance…
Say you are aware of right now,
Present the unknowing with a how,
Here and over there is together somehow,
It’s this instance that matters to us and deserves a bow,
when I smile unknowingly

Instance
Being becomes
As instance sums
Watch what you hear
As thoughts appear
Enter the act
Where tact seeds pact
Be boldly clear
To suspend fear
Express your stay
With poignant play
Apply faith well
To live and tell
Sculpt tints of hope
That bring fine scope
Live lovely quest
As grace funds zest
Being now starts
Here with true heart

The Instance of Never
I could not bear this war between logic and love,
But remembering her face once again levitates my mind afloat,
Into the heavens my mind gracefully flies like a gleeful little dove,
And there I see reality once gain like a vast bottomless moat
I can never get across it,
For I am not worthy of the maiden that lies

Clutching This Instance
If ever I had two hours with you… or three,
the vacancy of this night and lulled
shores would be refilled with the gushing
of frosted air on our reveries past;
the multitude of amiable stars bestowing
a hush of surrender... raged midnights ending
into fresh mornings backed by our
theme song replayed.
Then, to recall the sevens and nines of time
cutting
