Speak

If only
I could tell
You what to say
Three questions
Burning
By messenger pigeon?
Maybe I can mail
You the answer
Or whisper it to the wind,
Sing it to the sparrow
You need to know
You have to
Or else I won’t like what
You have to say


Stay

Stay 

for a while longer.

Don’t go 

and take my kisses with you.

The most natural thing I did today 

was look at your picture

and smile.

Stay


My everything

If my family

Means a dot to me

Then

You, are the universe.

If I really believe that 

I ought to fight for you

The right way

The hard way

You are my everything

My first 

My one and only

Time to treat you that way.

Why I can’t love you in the sun

The way I love you when I’m with you

In the dark

I don’t know

I hate it.


Red

One kiss

Like the fluttering of birds,

The crashing of waves,

Fleeting, but 

There. 

One kiss 

The way the setting sun 

Kisses the sparkling sea, 

Soft 

A red rose.


Conversation

Is the picture frame still up?

Mine is. 

Nothing

Has changed. 

Open door

Open heart

Are your feet okay?

Does your back hurt?

Colorful sweaters

Crazy socks 

Fly back love

Fly back soon


Worry. Not

The waves come crashing
With a crunch
Where are we grandpa?
The waves come crashing
With a crunch
Are we on the rocks
Or
In the sea?
The waves come crashing
With a crunch
Stay with me grandpa
Here
By the sea
The waves come crashing
With a crunch
Don’t go grandpa
Stay,
With me.
I’m here.


A Sky Full of Stars

A sky full of stars

Where it is in absence,

There is you.

Where you are absent,

A sky full of stars. 

Beauty is beauty

I look up 

And unto you. 

I smile

Hello


Questions

And then it came knocking
Like a burning question
Wreaking havoc
At my door
I didn’t open.
It knocked again.


Listen

I tried to tell you

I tried to share

The secrets I share on paper.

You wouldn’t listen

You wouldn’t care

Like the words do.

Poetry isn’t for us

With eyes

It’s for us

Who listen.


Pain

Your grip still holds me tight 

Like cold chains on a dead body

Like cold air in the twilight

It makes me choke every time I’m reminded 

Of you.

Just go

Let me go

Let go

Let me breathe again

So the ones I love

Stop hurting 

So I am free again
