lightning strikes
leaves nothing but
the shell of him
in one fell swoop
the loss of her
too much to bear

Why can't I enter Nirvana
in one fell swoop
'cause that's what I wanna
to end this endless loop.
Old deeds done--new lessons learned
pre Karma lost---post Karma earned
all things positive--all negatives spurned.

Life is but a Dream
Was it the tanned cheeks
The sun bright eyes
The softly parted smiling lips
The careless stance
Of barelegged ease
Or was it just her blowing hair
That caught my eye
Made my heart dance
In quick unease
Who was this girl
To take my life
My soul
My wife
In one fell swoop
Of sweet perchance
So few
and many
Years
Romance
From such a lucky day
Your words cut- like a woodcutters axe
chopping me down,
blood spills onto the pine strewn floor.
Exhaling words. Spoken without thought,
or love, trapped in an unbreakable bubble
that floats around my head.
Purple memories emanate from the centre,
rippling into infinity, becoming distant…
lost to the edge of life.
I thought love would save me, but
it too floats away on a starlit stream.

Stagnation doesn't happen
In one fell swoop
It claims space
Where TRUTH isn't allowed to snoop
Loss glides softly
On the winds of change
Resistance to yield
Determines the depth and range
Patterns begin to surface
On the foundation shaking underneath
Anger at the uninvited guest
Is easier than to give way to grief
The door is closed to home
Where life used to dwell
Soul lingers in breath
Where responsibility fell
