Allowed

Why is there nothing left,
no trace of chapters shared

Now looking back at shadows
where our other lives did live

Shedding braided time invested,
peaceful rest ne're allowed to give

Long Farewell

How could it not be
that each and every
day since

Those times when I was drowning
and you helped me remember
how to swim

And leap
out of the water into sweet air
laughing through our tears

How could it not be
that each and every
day since

You are in my heart -
though we are years,
and years apart

  

Vaporous

So much colder,
my thoughts find
these reasons

Vaporous 

To follow an empty space
where we once found
another side of wholeness
