I dig computers
There are the songs
Step by step guides
Pour amore. Formulaic
Algorithms, hearts,
Just simple functions.
Human hearts don’t
Work that way.
Intense complexities.
Love’s quest often
Maddeningly murky.
Love entails risk
Confessing our
Passion, perhaps
Unreturned. Painfully
Raw moments.
Mists flowing through trees
Compelled by wind’s urging.
Rivulets descend the glass
Warping these trees I view.
Refraction’s coloration divine.
Sunlight glitters upon them,
Moments flickering through
Greyness, cloudy murk
Defines my land. White
Farmhouse upon the hill
Calls to me, wondering
Where I’ve journeyed, the
Familiar seeps into my
Bones. Salvation.
Into myself I dive
Collapsing my life
Into a single
Moment, everything
Becomes clear, but then
Fades beyond my grasp.
Love’s immensity
Reaches beyond the body
Dancing on sunlight
Like something
Jane Austen would’ve wrote,
Dancing around edges,
Flickering, flirting, motion,
Seducing me, drawing me
Closer than I should;
Then I would dare if I were
Rational. But that mind
Sleeps on the edge of
Where darkness meets
Light.
One must be cautious
If you choose to play with fire,
Is your heart the fuel?
I seek the oblivion
Of knowledge
Within the finite emptiness
Between yin and yang
Exists everything,
I long for.
I won’t seek to tame.
If anything, it’s your
Flame that appeals
Burning bright against
Dawn’s light. Glorious
Destruction.
Plato’s cave reverberates
My eyes adjust to the light.
Amazing to me
The transference of worry
To another’s child.
Love’s ability to move
Intertwining deep within
Joyfulness abounds.
Experiences
Flowing downwards to my soul
Freedom blossoms forth.
Clouds eating sunlight
Gray brightening in the morn
Life passing quickly
