Anyway... here are some poems de moi, a glimpse of the end of my most recent relationship.
Everywhere
Like God, you're in these plaster walls
A breath in the cold that condenses and falls
A shiver sent swift across my skin
And the silence of a crowd fighting the wind
I see you in the pale snow -- laced
With sunset's pink and yellow trace
In spring, the birds will sing your name
Like God, you'll greet me in the rain
No Returns
tell me, from whence does love come?
I wish to bring it back
tell me, for I no longer desire
to be bound by lovers' trite trials
that gaping chasm -- full to bursting
with the emptiest of hearts
I will cast mine away again
into this vacuous multitude
my emotions need not sway to such extremes
the object of their oscillation -- a memory
dimly recalled and impossibly renewed
tell me, where do these feelings begin?
there, I will surely find their end
Tsunami
Those fights -- like the rumblings of earthquakes
At the ocean floor
Sent swells radiating across the sea
Swollen with love for you
I saw you again as I did before
As I had neglected to for so long
I rode that wave to shore
But it broke as the seabed rose
And crashed against the beach -- sparing no one
The swells died and were swept back to sea
With the remnants of what had been
Now dashed into debris
