Reflections

the love you see 
in other people 
is but a reflection 
of the love 
inside of you 
the whole world 
is our reflection
if you could see
just how beautiful
and precious each
of us are behind
our many disguises
we are wondrously
made and conceived
but some of us never
bother to even look
so i see it for you

Death My Lullaby

as it was in the beginning  
so it will be in the end
once i was helpless and toothless
one day I will be again

so it seems that life's a circle
like the spinning of the earth
we take and give what it brings us
but love is the only true worth

and i see myself as reflection
the universe mirrored in my eye
and spin around in unseen circles
till death sings my lullaby

Rain

I love you when it rains
when silver drops

fall in spirals
racing and chasing 

one another 
to the ground

finally to melt
into themselves

but not before 
they wash us clean

Untitled

sparrows dance 
on the skeleton tree limbs 
beneath the winter sun
suddenly they take flight 
bringing their music to the sky
with the harshness of the wing
leaving me a solitary man
in a world without birds
