Finding Home

                Shall I love you like I love the sunrise Embracing all that Breathe life? Or As I do with sunsets Letting go of all That ends must end One way or the other? Or Should I love you as I love both? With its fickle moods Transforming by the hour, Minute and second Even nanosecond? One, or the latter I cannot choose How could I? As if it is life And death when Even death is a friend. Tell me, How should I love you then?    

Come see what I see.  Leaves that turn into blades  piercing the skies full of air,  knocking the wind off my lungs  until all that is left  is the piercing  which is only nothing  and everything.

Awake at midnight And yet there is no night Only the middle of nowhere Grasping air Questioning the dark, Berating the silence, "How can you put Your faith in something So deciduous, So ephemeral, so human?"

9-21-13 A weaving of Half taken breaths Hurried, urgent Deep, resonant Slow, deliberate Tasting the sun Or the wind if you will Filling the lungs With air but better To immortalize youth To feel life Running through Your veins To hear the beast That's your heart Pulsate To weep as eyes need When they're full Of everything To hold another When words Fall short... To kiss.

Are some things  not meant to be forgiven?  Such as leaves  that fall from grace  and yet emanate  a kind of beauty  never before seen  as when it hung green  on the branches of a certain tree?  Maybe there are things  only meant to be loved  and nothing more or less than that...

To fling oneself angrily  onto something  like waves crashing  on stones seemingly  immovable, stoic.  And yet in time  disarrayed, moved,  chipped away.

Sea foam on shores  speaking in hushed tones  even when we're all alone  as if each word  is too precious  to waste on unnecessary decibels  and our ears strain  to hear all the stories  that are hidden underneath  the very few that are being said.
