You are not here
but there are
a thousand ways
I feel you
in my day

Lying in satisfied
silence as we
"smoke cigarettes"—
old Hollywood
movie code to keep
the censors happy,
hair as disheveled
as my sense of self,
responsibilities
trapped in
ruffled bedsheets,
wondering if I should
have said "no"
when he asked
if I needed anything.

All tomorrows The room is finally quiet The only reflection is mine Another day closes Another small victory for attrition But the end is always... Me. I don't stare at my reflection I don't need to know today I am here I am enough Today that was enough I could do more I could be more Someday I may But today the room is quiet. Again. Finally. And the day closes A flick of a switch and a clap of the notebook. life pauses Maybe tomorrow I try to be more than enough. Maybe tomorrow I check my reflection. Maybe tomorrow

we exist in
each other's
periphery
not in sentences
but in an elegant dance

What a storm
I always say
to myself

still
what a storm
I say again

because
I relish
thunder's bass

Full sun’s reflection on the Charles River appears as a bubbles of light on the surface.

Whenever I find you
here
letting my words
touch you
I smile
and sigh

I will not complain
if you slip
beautifully
into my dreams
tonight

night chill
as if woken from a bad dream

We had ample time,
Many days to smell flowers,
But now they are gone.

The wish, lighter than
an angel’s wing
floated unimpeded
upon dawn’s breath
longing
hope
desire
entwined with a
fragile dream
seeking to become
realised

Thin white clouds float on a dull blue sky, as darker clouds cluster below, with the new day's sun at the bottom of the photo.

Several curved stone steps adjacent to a cobbled street. Stone walls to either side. A green leaved plane tree frames the image of this street in Avignon, France.

As we collide
Your seductive traits take me Lost within a reckless dream
A dance of chaos in fragments of us

Flesh and spirit
I find no end
Our thunder of wreckage
Shards of longing
In your eyes I see the storm

My embers are burning
Flickering softly
Yet fierce in their plea
