Worlds Apart
In the spaces between heartbeats,
Where time stretches thin as spring leaves of poet-trees
blowing in the breeze,
I catch glimpses of you living
In a universe adjacent to mine.
There, the sky burns violet at dawn,
And trees grow downward, reaching
For a core of molten starlight
While gravity plays different songs.
You drink tea made from moonflowers,
Write letters with crystallized rain,
And speak

Worlds Apart
In the spaces between heartbeats,
Where time stretches thin as gossamer,
I catch glimpses of you living
In a universe adjacent to mine.
There, the sky burns violet at dawn,
And trees grow downward, reaching
For a core of molten starlight
While gravity plays different songs.
You drink tea made from moon flowers,
Write letters with crystallized rain,
And speak in colors I can only

Worlds apart are we
a windswept leaf and me
drifting forever on a current
heading back to the past

Worlds Apart
I promised a poem for you one day
Before I knew it you went away
Now just memories of you I hold
I'd do it anyway, to myself I told
What once was love is now an end
From whom I called my best friend
My life I changed, and still I would
To give this to you, I wish I could
We're

Worlds Apart
living in separate universes
boundaries spin a blur
lives never meant to intertwine
yet somehow worlds collide
when heart’s echoes resonate
soulmates from different times
across the ages
love to meet
in lost pages
of poetry

Lonely Dunes Worlds Apart
Tiny baubles of silica baking
mixed hues of brown and tan marble dots
juxtaposition meringue peaks
Desert dunes intersecting
wind-whipped terra-forma
sun-dried expression
of natures rant
desert dunes
smiling
bright.
Bleak
empty
crevasses
empty valleys
caressing the dark
broken hearts beat no more
ringed stories long forgotten
concatenated lifeless dreams
frozen in time they forever stand
empty vessels no longer utilized.

Worlds Apart
What if i change my name and forget yours
And count the syllables that spells yours
And let the number be number of lifetimes I'll never forget you
But forgetting that now he has you
Justifying the reason I left you
Poems I wrote for you
Words I shared with you
Thoughts inspired by you
Moments captured of me and you
Dreams burnt leaving

Living Two Worlds Apart
I can hear Your whisper calling in dis-pare
Throughout the midnight air
Like a signal flare
It calls to me with so much care
So smart like a shooting dart
Right straight to my heart
Living two worlds apart
Oh Lord won't you bring on a new start
As we find our way into each others heart
I know You hear us when we

Worlds Apart
Like two hungry wanderers,
We met.
I, from the direction
You were set.
I was cupping a story
And all you had was beauty.
I poured my powdery story
On your breast
And then on your head.
With my tongue, I drummed
On your tympanum
Till you danced the dance
Which carried to the distance
The thump… thump… thump
Of our leathery hearts.
Briskly, briskly till they split.
Now, riven
Forever by

Worlds Apart
You are not alone
Search your heart and you will find me
Open your soul and you will hear my music
Read my words and you may hear my voice ringing in your ears
You are not alone
You will dance
With my spirit wrapped around you
Close your eyes
You will see me reaching for you
You are not alone
Sleep and

Worlds Apart
You were the one person I confided in
From you no secrets I kept
Everything I ever hid within
I knew I could talk to you
Day or night it never mattered what time
For every problem you were there to see me thru
And now without you here
I’m lost…I don’t know what to do
Everyone tells me you’re in a better

Worlds Apart
At night when the stars stare at me,
I tried getting back our old memories.
Talking like a fool while watching the moon,
hoping you're on the other side staring back.
Coldness swallowed my being when I walk down the ground.
Searching for a path where we first laid our bodies down.
Breathless, you swore in my ears while we reach

Worlds Apart
Now we're worlds apart, I've never felt so misplaced
I don't know where to start, the days I find hard to face
Now I'm wondering what to do?, it's like I no longer exist
Trying to find a way through, I just can't help but reminisce
And I ask why it is she had to leave what exactly

Worlds Apart Forever
Worlds apart forever
Worlds apart when we started
We kissed that night both open hearted
We were unstoppable together always united
In a World of ugliness we were unaware and infatuated
A history of a burning star shone so bright had to end just like it started
People so in love it took my heart and placed a stone inside it
I
