reminding me of the heart that no longer resides there.

Far Across the Ocean
We see him on Zoom
just not the same
Our thoughts are with him

Far across the ocean

in Thee, O Lord? For,...

Your smile shined
moonbeam lattice
rippled rhapsody
in my heart.
I trek forlorn
in twilight
wasteland path
the last mile.

Lately MelancholyA bitter, sad, and lonely night
The final candle is flickering low

Having received it from his father
And his father before...

In the so gloomy universe

My heart then fills with joys
Tries to catch...

CRUMPLED THOUGHTS
so many lines i’ve written

their dull reflections lost
in the yearning of my love for you
seeking those perfect words...
