In my solitude you are with me.
Recklessly, you come to me in a dream.
In reality, you're a flicker of passion
in my ordinary life. You voice echoes,
in my mind. Everything, but my name you
whisper. Your touch has touch so many,
so many, except me. You come within my soul.
Endlessly this love goes on alone.
No lies, no ties, just here and there
with me always. I'll keep you locked in
my heart. And I'll give you my most precious
gift. You do with it whatever you please.
The most quiet, the most wild wish.
And until then, I'll keep you in my dreams.
I'll think of that kiss that will lead to it,
over and over until I fall asleep in my solitute and with my dreams.

Unrequited you sing
a song too many hearts
have bled too and saying
you are not alone is mere kindling

Yet in all one learns the self
as one traces shadow stories
on walls and hearts gone black
it is as will be surrender is
sometimes the only path to freedom

be well

Very well composed and thought out!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

You reach depths with such gentleness. I love it. You writing is very natural.

To capture and live a moment is truly living

This sounds wonderful, but when it ends.....

and the sun drips honey."
