If this too will pass
and nothing lasts forever
why won’t these scars fade?
Writing about the creative life and the stories all around us
If this too will pass
and nothing lasts forever
why won’t these scars fade?
We share space, for now
but you’re not in my orbit;
just a passing star.
she rises from the
water, this modern day Venus
of plastic beauty
my heart was all yours
fingerprinted with your love
now it’s a crime scene
Immigrant beauty
regards her spangled empire.
First, yet last to smile.

it’s a nice day for
white weddings and black faces
for once, not the help
listen:
it will turn out fine
if you only will commit;
always hold the line.
kiss me at sunset
light up my secret places
with blazing passion
picture one grass blade
among a million more
we are all alone
