as the world burns

we watch this flame

that has burn for millennia

yet we seem too transfixed

to extinguish it

maybe we are too fearful

to speak truths or

maybe we don’t really

want change as we claim

so we watch the world’s

fire illuminate the sky

another day of waiting

another day of waiting

to hear if the world

will come crashing down

or will the sun have

mercy on you

another day of waiting

to ponder all the

what-if scenarios

that play in your head

and causes you to lose

much sleep

another day of waiting

for results that have one 
on the edge of their seat 
on bated breath, just
waiting and waiting

moonlit night

on a moonlit night

we wrote poems to the stars

with such melodies

we seduced the moon into

our waiting arms with a kiss

valentine

funny valentine

is what I dreamed you would be

instead you became

my lost valentine that slipped

out my hands, forever gone

rose murmurs

walking in the rose garden

I could hear roses murmur

to one another

how I wish my life could

be so serene

to just bloom under sunlight

enjoy it’s beauty until

my season is done

life of a rose seems

more simpler than mine

supernova

I wanted a love full of passion

that would burst through

milky way skies

a love to last a thousand years

like heavenly stars

love is like the stars

it has it’s alpha and omega

eventually love will burst

like a supernova before

fading to dust

kiss on the porch

a kiss on the porch

was the moment

I fell in love with

the stars and with you

but I was young

and naïve to all

the nuances of love

so your departure left

a deep wound in my

heart until I was able

to make it whole again

in love

in love

my fingers tingled

with thoughts of you

my heart jumped into

my throat when I thought

how my life would be

if you were in it

but this

is just a dream

you are a far flung star

that I will never reach

and can only longingly

stare at every night

before I fall asleep
