Waiting with Mumford and Moses
I anticipate
falling heavy
into your arms
I know you
will come home
without a harm
And I claim
the promise
that these days
Where I’ve knelt,
and suffered,
will blow away…
The Nutcracker
White flakes falling in the silence of the house at night
And the festive lights flickering in the fire’s gracious sight;
A tree in living room bedecked like a royal crown
Shining tinsel in ruby red, with gold it glistens round
the structure of the evergreen, structure ever sound.
The room is ready, ready laid, the hearth is roaring fair,
And merry laughs of Christmasing are joyous, without care.
A sound sounds forth in sparkling song
Of triumph, hark the king who rights all wrongs;
A song that heralds, here comes the first of all the guests,
A song that harks, harks an uncle, him whose loved the best.
Desires Inside
Nervousness, and trembling flowing over
Why the insecurities under
my beating heart, my blanking mind,
my rushing through impossible time?
Only the Lover…
When only the lover sings
then death has lost its sting
and we are saved from the fall
From the doom of it all.
Brickety-Brackety Noise
Curtail the brickety brack of
clicketing clacking noise that distracts
from free-flowing thoughts and words and forms
and disable temptations toy’s
The Stolen Time Machine
Even a box that flies
Through star-studded skies
Can be commonplace in grand scheme, flown
By a madman running away from home.
Upon the Shore
Upon the shore, I stand and wait
A mast, a lighthouse
In the nook of the cape
And the wind whips my dress
It batters and beats
Its paltry attacks
Borrowing
Borrowed finery
Borrowed future
How long do I have to wait for you,
wait for the future?
I have borrowed
against the day
When my disguise
will fall away…
I Believe
I believe he will come back again
I believe this is not the end.
When flowers bloom, when Love commands
Christ will not let this time extend
And when he’s here vs. when he’s gone
the time shall flow like years have come…
The Trinity of Times
In the expectation that three times
I shall know
In the complication that twice
have come and gone
In the coronation of marriage
within my soul
I tremble, and I wait
The School of Love
Story half over
I recognize the text
Best of tutors,
test of wizards
Set me to the school of love
City
The walls of my city are a garden
The Questions
What if I get married?
What if I have a kid?
Is this what you wanted,
When we were little kids?
The heartbreak wounds
The soul it sighs
The mind grapples with its lies.
Who are you now?
I Have Seen Enough Cafés
There are enough cafés.
In my mind, I’ve seen
what Paris looks like
in the morning
To You…
Don’t think I’ve forgotten you
Just because I haven’t written in awhile…
I’ve been communing with someone higher
I lie asleep
Oh prince, have you seen me in your dreams?
I lie asleep.
Conquer
I conquered all
and found only blindness
I tried on my own
I tried it all…
When I find love…
I hope he care about me more than anyone ever has…
Words and Heart
Words and heart akimbo came…
