Literature Text
If I close my eyes,
I can almost feel your arms around me,
Gently placed around my waist,
Holding me close,
So very close,
And not wanting to let go,
Such a warm embrace,
That has yet to exist,
But one day it will be a reality,
Instead of mere fantasy.
I can almost feel your arms around me,
Gently placed around my waist,

So very close,
And not wanting to let go,
Such a warm embrace,
That has yet to exist,
But one day it will be a reality,
Instead of mere fantasy.
Literature
Reorient
I don't need to self-abandon To chase some dream of peace with you. You will find your peace At your own pace, or not. I will never know peace, Unless I stop running And sit here, alone, with me.
Literature
bright orange pieces
The darkness of evening kindles a half-light in me. A sense of calm and sadness and utter change. I will see it later in my dreams as a burnt log breaking into bright orange pieces over dying embers. By morning I will not remember it the same way, but might suddenly recall how it felt to be in love. I would be glad to know what my heart can still do after all this time.
Literature
reflective
One minute you will stand watching prior moments drift past your fingertips on kite strings. You will think, I could not have known such things would fly away. You will think, I was happier tied to such fragments of time. You will think, My heart sang for lack of knowledge. My heart leapt for ignorance. Witness now--the mouth of a tunnel, think then on the other end. Close your eyes and fall backward, into the shoes of former selves, envying their blindness to this present. Linger. Then lean back into reality-- your future shouldn't need to wander forward alone.
