Autumn breezes start to blow
In my mind's eye colors fading
While others start to glow
Here in my cozy shell
I forget all I need to know
My dreams,
They come and go
Swirling to and fro
Suddenly,
A teardrop crystal clear
Freezing before it could flow
Stillborn...
Not every bird will fly
Nor river run its course
Some things better left unsaid
Some feelings better off dead

Bubbles will float free and glide with glee carefree to go where they please light airy and fun they glitter in the sun catch them if you can ephemeral like life transient like joy they pop the instant you try to possess them just like love

Bewildered, I stand at your doorstep
At the end of an unreal day
Thinking, wondering, how I got there
And what to do nextÂ…
Standing outside myself
I watch the scene unfold
Like slow motion events
On a movie screen
I wait for the hero to break the trance,
To say something witty and bold
I watch, and I pray
Yet the moment is frozen in time
Like a snapshot of some long-obscure event
The hero stands there, at a loss for words
Caught in a twilight zone between past and future
He hangs on a fine thread, suspended in space
Bracing for the drop
Then you smile and ask me in
The moment is past, the scene is over
I missed my cue, tripped over my lines
With unfinished ideas and jumbled thoughts
Rattling in my mind
Scene II: the living room, tiny cozy and warm.
So this is where your life history is stamped
I can feel the marks on the furniture,
The imprints on the walls
Scenes and acts here passed,
Some happy, some sad
Eventually I find myself munching carrots with your mother
And chatting about her hairdo
I realize I am at ease,
Here in your tiny, cozy, living room
I can feel the family love at play, and it fills me up
I think I shared a part of it for a brief instant
I am in your family album now,
If not a photo, then at least the shadow of a fleeting memory
Let it be a happy one

I don't like you
I don't even care about you
The truth is, I adore you
I worship every pebble,
Every grain of sand
You have ever set foot on
You fill my days
And haunt my nights
You come to me in my sleep
Only to leave me at dawn
A lonely shipwrecked survivor
Of a holocaust
Washed ashore like driftwood
On a beach of broken dreams
Every waking breath I take, I breathe not,
For my lungs are set afire with your flame
I breathe you, I feel you, I vibrate with your pulse
Walk in time to the rhythm of your heart
Dance to the melody of your voice
Sing in tune with your laughter
My heart lights up with your smile
And I die a little when it fades
My dreams of joy are with you
Without you there is only sorrow
And the gloomy depths of a dark despair
Like a moth to the flame,
So I am drawn unto you
Yet I fear not my fiery death
For I know it not
I know only your warmth,
Your life-giving heat
Though my wings are glowing at the tips
Though my lungs are scorched
Yet I laugh in the face of destiny
I laugh, I gag, I choke
Sweet Irony is my ill-fated end
Behold, she grins at me like a toothless whore
Yet I vow to you, my forever friend
I could not love you more
