within myself

now and again
 it is not easy to choose
which character
to project myself onto
i repeatedly discover
 i am the most intolerant
 of the thing
 i struggle with

 within myself

the radiance



i constantly felt you by me as a child
in the morning you made your company known to me
in silence you spoke to my spirit
i walk throughout the forest by the water
i sit next to the stream and you are with me
in the spring flowers and in the sorrowfulness of the rainfall
the sensation of light in my heart
then something distressing happened at an early age
i feel alone as if we were divided by some means
i begin to search for you in all places and in every person
i look within shadowy spaces as well as the daylight
craving to exist in the company of you
unmoved was my expedition to locate you once more
i open my heart over and yet again
to souls i shouldn't have by any means consent to let in
i considered you lost to me forever this time
however you were nearer than i might have assumed
you emerge in the sunlight that shines in my soul
the feeling i have when you are near
im in front of the water, i'm next to the flow with you once more
walking in the forest in the first light
the radiance that is you

this time

how good to see your smile
how good to hear your laugh
i had forgotten how it touches me
i had forgotten how deep inside
why don't we have some lunch
we could go to the park
wait
isn't that where it starts?
i find myself in your eyes
the hours pass too quickly
we hang on every moment
each breath an eternal picture
and you know we want so much more
and you know we only suffer
as we contemplate our options

i am intrigued by your mystery
you're scrolling through my wit
oh i am falling
i fall so easily into you
maybe i will just enjoy your smile
this time

i miss that



long long ago
i was so simple
so elemental
so peaceful
so light
i miss that


or

long ago
i was so easy
so basic
so tranquil
so light  
i  miss that

an acquired taste



it's an acquired taste
moderated hope
pragmatic perspicacity
seasoned with ideals
and served with sanguinity
 yet
woe to the obstinate heart
indulging in sentiment
naïve impetuosity
weathered by recompense
and handed out with cynicism

our moment



just like the snowflake,
beautiful and yet fleeting,
so is our moment
