amid the calm exterior of
silence we must occasionally
leave room for our sojourn
apart from reality and
attempt to live in the
abstractions of dreams.

To Soar on the Wings of Seagulls
we proclaim each other's love
disrupt each other's lives
restructure each other's morality and
occasionally we lose control
unaware that our comments
regretfully resolve our dilemma;
yet, tears announce our inability
to accept the sincerity that
something good must come from this,
that in some way we must transfer
all that we have shared or stored for later;
predetermined we prepare ourselves for
when we must give to others the
same completeness we learned together,
knowing that walks in the park
can only temporarily postpone our fate
and while in exile, isolate our loneliness
but not our wills, nor our love
which shall permit us, one day, to
soar as one on the wings of seagulls.

Frowns replace smiles and our
compassion make us vulnerable,
exposed to the secrets that rose
freely through our senses, keeping
us reminded of the wall that
took us four years to tear down;
we cry inside as others laugh
for a makeshift sequence of events
and the rationale to continue;
our seeds implanted long ago in
the soil of our inescapable desires
fertilized by our tears, harvested our
longing giving the earth a chance
to reclaim its romance and us a
chance to put our fears to rest.

Untitled
emptiness fills the hollow of my body
and my nostrils catch the overflow
of tears and my weakness stems from
our involvement and the courage
we gave to hold onto our inner strength
as escaped emotions remained trapped
within the endless memories we have
for each other and my shoulders can
no longer carry the burden that leaving
has cast towards us and my lips taste
your tears as they touch your eyes.
