Lanterns
Lanterns”
I want to dream about you
As you dream of me.
But you fade away
Like a faint lantern
Falling from space
Into the dews of high grasses
Where the light will die.
I want to be brave
And face the thunders
Of the rising storm
That sails o’er the seas
Separating you from me.
I see the lanterns by the seaside,
As of pale dreams descending upon me
While in the distance, the lightning
Surrounds you in your sleep
Where you say I have come to you—
While the truth is standing...
I want to dream about you
As you dream of me.
But you fade away
Like a faint lantern
Falling from space
Into the dews of high grasses
Where the light will die.
I want to be brave
And face the thunders
Of the rising storm
That sails o’er the seas
Separating you from me.
I see the lanterns by the seaside,
As of pale dreams descending upon me
While in the distance, the lightning
Surrounds you in your sleep
Where you say I have come to you—
While the truth is standing...

Ever After
Ever After”
If I find my Ever After
Will there be flowers on my bedside?
And will I say that I love you that I love you
One last time, while I feel just a little afraid
That I could not cry while you were facing me?
Forgive me!
I have forgotten myself in the dewdrops—
The dews of midnight—
And like the seasons, my heart has changed.
There remains the palest, autumn sky;
A perpetual chill I cannot survive,
For lone is the way into the quiet Earth;
The frost has opened beneath the starless night.
Behold! ...
If I find my Ever After

The dews of midnight—
And like the seasons, my heart has changed.

A perpetual chill I cannot survive,
For lone is the way into the quiet Earth;

Dark Eden
Dark Eden”
Someday I will make my way
To the dark Eden of endless shades.
In my sorrow, I will kiss the hands of the dead
Who have waited in the blossoming garden
Among beds of forget-me-nots.
There the blackest stones await me
Beneath thousands of lanterns.
Ah! In deepening gloom, I have gathered
The daffodils that softly choke me
With the perfume of the coffin’s feast.
I have dreamt of many sorrows,
Having tasted the wine of foulest sleep
Shrouded in the kisses of the darkness
That forbids me to enter, ...

Goodbye
Goodbye”
What is Hello?
Who are these Goodbyes?
I have met many in my travels
From one salutation to one parting.
But this. This goodbye is a bitter foe,
For he is delayed in his approach.
From one rest to another sleep,
He waits in the margins…
Drawing near, but never touching.
And though I know I must taste it,
I cannot bring my lips to such wine:
The bitterness of the fruit
Of my obeisance is far too sweet.
A shadow that comes and goes and knows
It never should have departed the sun
While all...

Lost
Lost”
Tell me what I have lost…
I just don’t know anymore.
I’ve been gone for some long, long time,
And it’s getting dark where the road has led me.
Sometimes I believe I am underground,
And the clouds are coming to rain on my grave.
The flowers would grow there as in Heaven—
Just another place where you’ll never find me.
Take this life from me and show me the ashes.
I’m scared of what is left to burn.
There is darkness among the flames.
I’ve been there, and I think I’m going back for more.
Sometimes I...
Tell me what I have lost…

And it’s getting dark where the road has led me.

And the clouds are coming to rain on my grave.

Two Souls Meant to Destroy Each Other
Two Souls Meant to Destroy Each Other”
I need you to talk to me…
You answer my voice, silently.
The voice that does not answer is weighted, and sad.
What emotions do you say you wish you never had?
Is it your love for me that you deny
You wish you could erase, the same as I?
How long must we circle before our hearts die?
You look at me, and see the face you want to see…
I look at you and see what I wish could be.
Shattered dawn, shattered dawn, I keep waiting
But outside my window, another year is fading.
You locked the...

The Heaviest Tear, and the Brightest Star
The Heaviest Tear, and the Brightest Star”
I cannot see myself turning away
From the pathways that cross and divide
The tales and the fantasies I tell myself:
Which tomorrows I believe there will be,
Against the tomorrows that will come.
They’ll feel the pain left in my place,
As I bury the faces I choose not to see,
Staring from a place I don’t want to go.
What image can I veil for my salvation?
Give me to another Hell where I can
Take it all back as if it was an illusion.
I can’t somehow. It’s breaking through

put it this way
how would you like it
if i kept
discussing
that one
relative
or that
one mutual
person
you took
no joy in
hearing
from
or being
in the tiniest
company
of?
think about that
when you
call us by
a name
we take
no joy in
being called
or a
pronoun
we spent
years
trying to
shed from
our own
bones.

What You Have
I don’t want to like you
I don’t want you to like me
I can’t read your mind,
But I know I like you
I’m sure you feel the same way
And that’s what bothers me the most
There’s things in me you’ve never known
I want what you have
If I told you, you’d ignore me
I’d be nothing but a friend
I’m waiting to hear your confession
So I can break it to your heart
I don’t want you to like me
I can’t read your mind,
But I know I like you
I’m sure you feel the same way
And that’s what bothers me the most
There’s things in me you’ve never known
I want what you have
If I told you, you’d ignore me
I’d be nothing but a friend
I’m waiting to hear your confession
So I can break it to your heart

A Star Within the Rain
A Star Within the Rain”
I watched the door close between us
To sever the soul that intwined our being.
This was goodbye…
Without speech—with distance only…
I wept not, for such great speech
As a tear can bring was muted
By the cry of our unborn years splitting,
As all that may have come to pass for us
Was undone…the river of our time, severed,
As we flow to our separate seas.
Do you not know you were the answer?
The question I never dared to ask—
I dare not breathe it now into
The space where you once stood. ...

i put on
the dress
you bought me
it fit
perfectly
but
i wondered
why i saw
a man
in the mirror
wearing
the dress
you bought me
