Throughout our lifetime,

We wear emotional masks,

Pride, Joy, awe, surprise –

But at the end of your day,

I hope your default is love.

Beyond my doorstep,
A jealous Pacific moans,
Clawing at the shore,
Where winding concrete ribbons,
Flirt with salt-kissed cypress trees.

This candle burns on,
Lighting the way for others,
But will it burn me?
“What Folly!” I say aloud,
As I light another match.

Summertime sadness,
Is a beautiful thing that –
You will never know.
Forgive me for not being
Able to see life without.

It is days like these,
that you must laugh at yourself,
and your misfortune.
Romance and food poisoning:
What more could /this/ woman want?

Without any word,
You left for another life,
It saddened me so.
But under that hurt, there was:
Hope – That you found happiness.

Wild

Ignoring my doubt,
My heart stumbles forward with,
Unannounced passion.
Like this storm of wind and rain,
There is no way to tame me.

A clear mirror lake.
Peering at their reflection,
Two cranes, side by side.
Do they see one another?
Can they know, love at first sight?

You know that feeling

Centered between shoulder blades

An itch you reach for

But your angle is all wrong?

Yeah, that’s how you feel to me.
