MIRROR IN A BROKEN HEART

I wonder if loving yet again is a possibility

Loving freely and fearlessly

Moving like a moth drawn to a burning light

From the anonymous part of a dangerous night

While ghosts of lost love and skeleton of painful memories are still intact

I hear love birds swear by moons and stars

But after so many nights out in beds that now seem strange

I wonder if there is anything left to swear by

Worse, because I see the knights swear to queens of open bosoms

Ones who appreciate wars waged by ammunition of all nature

I am tempted to dream

Dream of rewriting my rules of war

For all the existing ones have been abused

I know that a naive warrior will fall prey to my new evil devices

But how else will they learn of the cruel nature of love?

Where people who love more leave torn apart and are left in tears or dangling dead on the rafters of battlefields

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.

LIFE IS A METAPHOR

I have this strong feeling An urge to be right Not making mistakes with my life I want to live forever For ever young But time passes like wind Behaving young looses meaning A forever youth is a biological impossibility What is youth? Is it a mind set or an age What is life if death has the last smile over the flesh? Life is a question Life must have a purpose But what is that purpose? Search for a purpose is an imagination An ideal lost like a shadow getting into a light But life tastes better in this loss Is purpose self created or God given? It is an ideal set do high above sight A philosophy impossible to share Life is faith Hope in more than a fleeting flesh My life must count In this life and beyond my living years Certainly time is forever but life on Earth is a deep wish it were Since it not, it matters that we are together Thanks to Sana we are not alone Wondering in the wild like we never lived Our stories will be told for someone after us The songs we wrote will be sung Peop...
