LINGERING

You touched my hands
That is how you opened the flood gates
You kissed me straight in the heart
How could I forget that
You sparked
And did a little more
Like a star
You dazzled
An imprint you became in a lovers heart
A lover would never forget
A lover's longing you became and persisted
Like lemonade sour and sweet
Unsatisfying and unyielding
A pain and pleasure to hard to give
A treasure for sure
Like a sad masterpiece
Adored like confounding portrait of Mona Lisa
A longing that would rather go and rather not
A cord that would rather end and rather linger
A taste that would rather persist
Almost a blasphemy
You stepped an inch closer to a diety
How could I look into your eyes
Without a thousand conflicting emotions
I remember
Every word of my promise
They felt holly
I remember
I remember like they were engraved on a stone tablet in my heart
I remember
Like they will never grow old 
I remember
The songs we listened to and danced together
I can't forget our unpopular choices
The risks
Lost in our heads
Fearing but fearless
How could I take this profoundness for granted
How can I?

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
