time flies
and night draws near.
pillows become sodden
and hearts become heavy.
oh, the things we do for love.
thoughts fly
to faraway places, loved ones.

like the . . .

he wanted to burn

i should've known
there'd be times like this,
times when you'd come
across like a
whisper in the wind.
i should've taken my
time to listen to the
whisper . . .

dawn broke
and my heart broke with it.
suddenly i become empty
and my soul aches when
i call your name.
the sunrise feels your absence
and the sofa mourns.
dawn is beautiful like a sad virgin, . . .

Part I [Sanguine]
i breezed
through this
earthly existence
with an ethereal

your eyes, dark and
mysterious, . . .

last night,
earth bled.
i stood by my

it was a bleak, stark land
with two hundred flies
and no buzzards.

provided bones for our

i saw the skeleton of
the love we once had,
dying . . .

so we prayed for God
to kiss our kiss-starved souls,
so our leaky eyes could heal
and we could navigate
this present darkness of days,
battered ships, each and every
one of us, wave-tossed, . . .

love was cold tonight
and the fire in your eyes
was just a dim flicker
i love you, but i don't

PART I
a parcel came in the mail
first page:
these were my dreams
when i had a life.
pages spilled memories,
colour and emotions.

i remember the future
how you would look
with those grave eyes
at my bumbling being,
guiding my growth path
with a smile or a frown.
i reminisce the present,
the here and . . .

you sat and sang
and danced and played
and laughed.
mother and child,
and i watched you
from under the picnic tree
with no branches,
nursing the leftovers you'd
wrapped for me in a . . .

whoa, soulbrother
you've gotta be kidding me right?
how come you look so fleshy

i'm sorry.
i lost direction
and got tired of
all these mono-emotion faces.

love is for fools,
and you've been a fool twice,
staring out our window, nights,
and wafting sweet dreams to a soul

friendship was when
i held your hand
and we walked by
dried up creeks
with dead spirits on the banks
and saw nothing but paradise,
