the snow
undissolved
amid my heart
wanders eternal
as does my avidity
its difficult to accept
“to move on to forget”
six feet yet unreachable
how will this feeling melt
my everything lost tomorrow
‘we’ wander, separate, absent
as I hang by the blistering icicle
I want to accept but never forget
will a 'farewell' do me as to liberty
my tears frozen yet sentiments warm
let our memories perpetual we coexist
as you’l love in summer and I will in winter

Distilling attention
A journey
Of entity sedentary
In meditation
Stillness orientation
Something remains
Unresolved
Undissolved
That form contains
Pleasure & pain
16-August-2020
In every heavenly sip of forbidden ambrosia lies a drop of mortal poison
In every beautiful moment of unmasked laughter lies a trace of undissolved pain
In every loyal promise of forever and after lies a lie of concealed fear
In every cherished memory of stunning victory lies a breath of veiled failure
In every cold silence of desperate eyes lies a casket of unspoken words
And in every contented heart of happiness lies a million unhealed scars still bleeding.....
The first small steps
Upon the stones of freedom
Taste sharp and chalky:
Like medicine, undissolved.
