Secretly

How do I write
the sun and the moon,
the lightness inside
a floating balloon,
the lover’s love
to fall and then swoon,
the dreamer’s desire
to sleep until noon,
the heart of a child
turned loose in June,
the eyes of an elder
divining by rune,
the keys of a piano

or the unwritten music
that ended too soon?
I sit by the ocean

Bittersweet Contentment

Words?

And where are the words
that used to flow so free
that brought Life to life
in the form of poetry
Now the verses writhe
in fields of misery
To dreams, to promises

left me just to taste
what I wanted to see
But it’s all too clear
the lesson here for me
This world only shows
what wasn’t [...]
