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.
memories come pouring forth
like the . . .

i see colors, monochrome colors when you call my name.
three hours, and you looked at me, and didn't say a word, but silence is not empty.

so we spoke . . .

voices fill up the
empty spaces inside,
echoing through me
in their relentless
pursuit of each other.
but i cant be crazy,
because i'll find no
solace in the single
tear that drops, along
to the beat . . .

i came into your room
to kiss you on the cheek
but you scrambled to kiss my lips.
i smelled him onyour lips

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, . . .

everyday
you just pine away
in grief unspoken, unshown
unrevealed, in blind stoicism.
i can see the tears of your silence.
your sadness generates more sadness
and your painting hangs on the empty . . .

all my life,
i've written
words on the
pages of my
heart, on the
barks of pines,
on walls and
on beach sands.
words for you,
practice, you
might say.
all my life,
i've waited
for the chance
to . . .

within the confines of certainty.
i've never had to scream in pain
in the places where i find pleasure.

stay just a little while,
and i'll tell you words
i tell no one else.
stay just a little while
and i'll make you smile
in a way you've never smiled
before.

and i'll . . .

arms from accross the street,
payiently counting the last

there'd be times like this,
times when you'd come
across like a
whisper in the wind.

i know.
all the noise
just kills your tears
and you can talk now
and smile a little now
and feel comforted, now
that it is daytime and
the pain is just a dull
numbing at the back
of the mind, . . .

i keep wishing
i could write words
made of feathers.
i'd make those feathers
into wings for you
and you'd fly to
the city of shadows
where you always wanted
to go.

to kiss our kiss-starved souls,
so our leaky eyes could heal
and we could navigate
this present darkness of days,

Into existence, last night
And you were there with me,
Two people lost in
Thoughts we couldn't write.
That's what we were.
And you could have covered me
With your . . .
