  • I Drew Two Lines in the Sand With a Stick and Said They Were Us

    —

    This is my life, this is yours. Two lines in the sand Existing in parallel, Bound by nature to never cross. Will we ever meet again? Point and laugh at reason, Then chart a new point of intersection? We could be more. We could invent new formulae, Just hit the reset button with me. My…

    Do you see the Moon as I do? I wonder if we’re looking at it together. I watch my breath in the cold air, Unceasing until it ceases.

    I wanted to know love So I set myself ablaze And even though I’ve become More smoke than flame, Don’t let my fire die gently. Embrace the warmth these sparks provide For as long as you can. When only ash remains, I will seep into the earth And I ask you pray for rain, My…

  • Freeze Warning Alert

    —

    Does the world grow cold  Even with the sun in your face? The light is soft, The wind is strong. Memories burn away, But they don’t keep me warm. I try to hold onto the embers, But like the sunbeams, They disperse in my wake Before my island of frost.  Help me remember What it’s…
