Vulnerable to love: a heart's Journey
In my mind...
I always thought I was strong,
But I was proven wrong
With the weakness I sired,
From your unmatched,
Immense love, I always wished to have
And taste, before I became nature's
Reject, of earthly joys!

I See TremorsI see tremors…
dancing between the dust,
as the sunlight hits your hands,
they recite their symphony, of silence,

a different kind of loveA different kind of love
Easy, in and out your breath
lungs unsullied by cigarette smoke
Siesta nap, a lazy Sunday afternoon
when flowers are recklessly nude
Breath, taking

I would fall into a chasm
pale rainbows, a stillborn moon
