rattling the chambers of love
tremors richter deep

Samantha
The brass ring slipped
long before I could grasp
your fragile paper wings
in the tides of darkness
immortalizing your name
in dreams of endlessness.
Beautiful girl
Beautiful pearl
Dance in the fields of never-
ending beginnings, beneath
the halo of your grandfathers
enveloped with warmth of the sun
and hypnotic tides of the moon
reach for shooting stars to feel
the pulsation of
true flesh and bone.
Journey through vacant
eyes to my fractured heart
you will hear echoes of ...

Soul Sister
We entrusted sorrows
holding each other
with smiles etched
on our hearts, through
miracles and tears
storms and laughter
celebrating life
large and small
til a cute boy
walked in the class
and all eyes were
diverted, but ours
we shared lunch
sitting side by side
different backgrounds
merging memories
with the same dreams
differences aside
cheered together
on the sidelines
to exhaustion
in the merry go
round of playground
with sheer innocence ...

Hush
you awaited
prepared
for that sucker
punch
to rattle your
bones
into ashes and
smoke
elements you
put out
soaked in muddy
shores
another heart on
standby
while you flame the
kindle
buckle up and
hush
re-gifting life with
patches
walk the walk
not
talk the talk
crumple your
dreams
in a bucket list
scatter
the shreds in briny
tears
let it soak your
lonely grave
amongst
unknown peers
