Nothingness

Our relationship 
and its nothingness
no in this moment
or catch you later
there’s no bigger picture 
no roll in the hay either
it’s just…

Chasing the dragon

They said it would feel good 
At first it feels so great
It gets you in the mood
And then it gets too late

Now is the Rhyme

In our lives and in the world, intimidating change
Inner pessimist duels optimist, an emotional range
What to say (or what not…

First Love

You walked into my garden much later in life.
I didn’t expect that.
After we’ve lived way past all our illusions
And made peace with the…

Embrace Imperfection

That person you love
Will never be perfect.
Accept them. With love.

The Wailing Wall

All that remains
is the marble of your back
as you lie on your side asleep

Feast or Famine?

Our hungry hearts
Feast on fashions ever falling,
Our appetites ever rising.
