The more I dream the more it seems real
The connection I speak
grows like the rose through concrete
Flourishing

there is nothing as soothing
as the ocean breeze
nothing as calming
as the crashing waves
strolling lazily
bare feet on cool sand
as the magnificent sun
retires for the day

rest your head
close off the world
nothing to be said
lean into me
just for tonight
catch your breath
give up the fight

liberty and justice
this white notepad looks like a maddening chalkboard scratch
it keeps me up all night and binds me into knots
this smoldering cigarette gives no solution to my wordlessness; . . . more

No safe zone, bomb shell, and no protection
Everybody's a target and wants you to be the next one
stay off the wire to stay as an exception . . . more

on your tongue, like sugar
or adoration.

The ballerina from afar--
Amazing in the effortless beauty
Of her dance.
Her face shines in the footlights
A glimpse of breaking dawn
Every movement a study in elegance.
Wonder at her . . . more

Sometimes, when I least expect it,
I think about you, and it makes me smile.
I remember how we use to laugh,
the way you would touch my hair,
the way you would say my name.
