“Maybe someday”

Those are the words you used
Now branded on my heart.

Was that meant to be a comfort
A question not now but not when.

Turn the time into effort
The fog between us diffused.

Hope, return again
And only then will we never part.

Rusty bones

Wake sleeper
From dreaming comfort
Stay the knife
From turning in your heart.

Lift your legs
Move off your plinth
Feel the rust
Lift off your weary bones

Pained dreamer
Move along with effort
Feel the strife
But rejoin the world in part

Some days the body does not wish to move from bed. The dreaming world feels preferable to the real one.

One last drop

I can’t bring myself to drink

The last drop from the

The last glass of

The last bottle of wine from

The last time we saw each other.

It was for us
Not for me alone.
Now it lies almost empty
Drained of everything it had
Lost to impatience and failure.

Birthday messages

My screen lights up
Happy birthday
From some unknown friend

The impersonal well wishing from strangers
Has come around again

And then there’s you
Wishing love and success
That my dreams for the year come true

Unfortunately all my dreams
Come down and back to you

There’s some break in reality
Between the well wishing of dreams
And the truth that they were broken
All by the one and the same.

Free fall

I find myself at the top of a mountain
Looking out at the peaks
Below and above
Some I’ve climbed, others I never knew existed.

In the blink of an eye

I find myself in the open sky
Winds roaring around me
Rushing past
Am I falling or flying or even moving at all.

Butterflies

Friends visited my shoulder today
As the rested their wings they whispered

Change…
Is…
Coming…

I wondered over their prophecy
But just like that, they flew away.

Going through notebooks

Labhrás 3d

I found I found I found ibid

I found you when I was lost
Both of us young and full of fire
Not knowing what it meant to love
We were found in the wrong time

I found you when I was lost
Scared and alone trying to navigate change
Powerfully emotional and dangerous
We found pain

I found you when I was lost
Far to young for how deeply we loved
Gentle souls that didn’t know how to live
Then we found change

I found you when I was lost
You with experience and me fighting scars
Powerfully mismatched
We found abuse

I found you when I was lost
Kindness in spirit and soul
I could not keep up
We found stagnant air

I found you again
New circumstances and a new depth and fire
Like dry kindling we burned fast
We found time that cannot heal all

I found you when I was lost
A refreshing change of pace
A love fueled by summer air and peace
We found fall and winter and lost the path

I found me when I was lost
Grasping at the air
Clamoring to the surface
I found love, cycles, loss
