EVERYTHING MEANINGFUL

Love is a conflict in the soul
A bridge where two worlds meet
And a river between two lands
A fire that burns the mind but sooths the soul
It has been a journey for us to stand in this place smiling
But felt the pains yesterday
I don't even know how I made it to this day
Yet love like a fire consumed all that made me feel alive the day before
I am left in awe over the possibility that even the pains in a crushing heart feels like hope
The wonder of how a smile of a lover is a single word close to a tear
Who know what is love, that should be gentle and kind but rides you on its back like a wild stallion?
Who knows love that should not keep records of wrong but keeps a record of them but never grows faint?
Who knows love that should understand all things but never seems to have a mind to?
Who knows love that would not even know itself?
Like a stranger in my self I sit in solitude in this uncharted forest
Lost to my self I hope my love finds me in her heart waiting for her
I can see her on the other side watching me like I am in a movie figuring out if all I do and tell her are part of a script with elaborate stants 
How do I tell her that all she see is more real than a reality show and if she would cut through the skin of my act she would find me in flesh, blood and in love
How would I say to her
This is not a drama and that being with her is the only thing I want to do with the rest of my life
That loving her is more than a purpose for my life but my fullness
The rest is flower close to my epitaph
But living with her is my life
Tonight that she holds me close in her heart
I close my eyes and wonder what her mind says
If she woul hold on till the end of forever
But I say that is not in my power to gift
Tonight is as good as happily ever after
And as long as forever

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.

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

KINDRED

I wish I had a friend Whose loyalty would never bend Walk with me miles on end Be plain and never pretend A cynic who would blend But to me be a kindred A spirit that knows me Keep me and my secrets just as I would  To the very end
