Slow Burning StarOur spark was a magenta-aqua gradient supernova.
A bright flash of love so nearly blinding it was eye-opening.
Our talks echo in the chambers of my inner cosmos....

The Journey WithinI drew a rendering with love's charcoal
of your face, held in my soul
It's drawn on the cave wall of my mind
believing it would fade with memory
I visit this cave in silent twilight
when the world is still and I'm alone
where I can...

Blue Is The Warmest ColorWe met in a coffee shop
off Fifth Avenue
In Jersey.
You were so magnetic;
your eyes shone so brightly.
A couple of years passed by;
and our paths crossed
once more
through the entanglement
of interwoven destiny.
We both ended up
in that coffee shop again.
I have to ask:
Did the blue in
your hair fade naturally,
or did you lose...

Slipping awayMy head crashes to the desk.
Flashbacks—oh, so cruel.
A hammering heart, a desperate soul,
I reach to touch you…
But you vanish.
I run to you, but you’re always faster,
Slipping away again.
“Come back,” I scream.
He says,
“No, I don’t love you… I never really did.”
Silence. I stop running.
“No… no.”
Sobs break free.
My chest feels hollow—
Not from grief,
But from the absence of...

My Secret PlightShadows shift in flickering flame
Vows made, now stained with your name
Our flame, once bold and bright
Now wanes upon this cold, stark night
I see the distance in your eyes
Reflecting echoes of love’s goodbye
Emptiness fills your silent stare
A longing still lingers in the air
Your heart, once gentle, has lost its grace
Betrayal bleeds—a bitter taste
Sarcasm drips from...

Response to love letter
Dear Eos,
I
wish I still felt passion in my heart toward
the generous soul that you are.
You always saw beauty in the world
and painted strokes of life
with a brush of sweetness and delight.
I
am sorry for the suffering life's put you through.
The heart is a fickle thing. It simply was not meant to be.
We've walked...

Wandering desires have wandered in the shadowsThe feelings of the mind are hidden behind the clouds
Unexpected changes abound in the storm
The steps have been taken on a path without turning
Life's lessons have taught me the way to walk
Crazy thoughts have forgotten the lessons learned
Chasing dreams that didn't come true
The desires of the youth have gone astray...

let her knowLet her know.
Did you let her know her?
When you stopped being obsessed with her?
She still stares at the pictures, now it’s all just a memory
that keeps playing in her mind.
She misses telling you about her day and your magical presence.
But did you let her know when you weren’t hers anymore?
Can the clock stop, adjusting without...

A Whisper Into the Kitchen FloorHe tastes the salt before he knows he's shed a tear
He'd always been a staggering man
Since his Army days known by most simply as Big Roy
Now he's a staggered man
This night, curved and hunched
Bags so heavy and dark under his eyes
They'd just as well be rotten figs about to fall
And splat and stain the ground...

By the StreetlampOur promenade - a streetlamp
shines on cream fog memories,
conjuring crusty croissants,
piquant parmesan pasta,
as tiramisu tarts tease,
sweetly taunting my tongue and
shining cream fog memories
on coffee, black and bitter....

Really a goodbye?Nobody told me
The fear of losing
For loving someone so hard
Was something so harsh
Saw you then not too long after
Give or take just years later
Turned my head back, saw your smile
Happiest I've felt in a while...

LET LOVE LEADSI know you’re hurting
I know you're completely lost
But just this once
Let love lead the course.
Let it lead, gentle as light
Mending the broken bridges
Guiding you gently home
Back to where you’ve always belonged.
Love has its simple ways
It thrives in the dark
Plants a candle in your chest
And teaches the heart to trust again.
So let it reach you.
Let...

SECOND CHANCEIf I ever had to live with regret
It would be the choice I made
That day just past midday
When the world dropped its mask.
There I stood adrift in thought
Drowning in a tide of anger
Sinking beneath my own silence
Wounded by what I didn’t know.
If I could build a softer clock
I’d turn its hands back gently
To the moment...
