I put
My arms
Around her, and
We walked
Through this storm
In this life, there is meaning,
A good reason to be born

Beyond the love word
One more word also exists.
Only to define
True meaning of my feelings,
But that word is lost in heart.

Questions

Shall all these
tears be wasted?
Will every ache
be for naught?
Is there meaning
to every sigh?
Can dead dreams
be revived?

last one, a cosmic cycle
of gray, cold mornings,
and trying to find purpose
in every single moment.

We are the sons of a storm
Our shield of a fragile meaning
The umbrella to the rain of life
Inevitable wetness, our fate

As our bodies melt as one 
The Universe stills 
The stars sliding to a halt 
creating the Milky Way

Ornament glosses the meaning
Metaphor displaces by dreaming

So now,go figure it out.

Sparkling lights, warm stories
Sounds and smells that linger 
Throughout a season, so short 
But praised with such meaning

The shorter the sentence
the greater the impact
Its focus unchallenged

Too Late

Poets fingers write but once complete
who can by deceit or wit 
cancel a line or even a bit
No washing a word or meaning of it

A Question

Do I sacrifice art 

For meaning?

Or meaning 

For art?


A question,

In my mind circling,

An unresolved part.

Pace

Not all meaning of a poet
Paces form his inner
To the reader of his words
Some stay in its right place
In between his arms.

So tired of proving
Whether she is worth loving.
She is now choosing
To have a new beginning,
A new life with more meaning.

Ache so much
Wha't's life - numb, cofused! 
Searching comfort, calmness

Braces for trouble
Not live lie!
