By nightfall did we reach,
And so begin our destination.
As though I would, at least, assume it was a stable course.
Though unsteady was the travel.
...
Words are but a shallow well,
With strength to delve within their source
Of power, in the heart and tongue, and long continuations.
Removing logic from the mind,
...
Slipping sand dunes, ice cold sundown,
Windblown waves and soft-streaked bay.
I liked when you were better off and
Loving tiptoe tempest tales,
...
Let us break our bread with travelers,
And feast on ashen ruin in the face of stolen graves.
To them a nighttime stroll is nothing more than simple footsteps,
A candle in the cradle of the sea.
...
Tilted over sky and earth, as but a passing,
Till in grace and in an instant,
You have overthrown the river, as
A hiding place and refuge, for the lost.
...
Some branches,
Worn with intermittent hands,
Have grown sturdy. In order that
Time might be spent
...
she, in life so softly written,
moves between the lines, and lives,
surrounded by the wind,
so softly carried by the wind.
...
Stopping by my way she did address me:
In such gentle spirits were those fleeting glances that she gave,
I should've stayed forever in her hands.
...
Tell the falling winds
Who hold the hands of winter,
Of a newly rising age,
Under slowly setting sun.
...
Moth bent flutters of a breath,
Yet silent as a whisper, on the wind,
And in the trees. Yet growing ever quietly.
Voices in the heights and in the mind,
...
I told the walls, I'm going out
But I'm sure they already knew.
I hate to leave them, as they tend
Towards growing lonesome, so lonely.
...
First, there is the primary means
By which we navigate this realm,
And all others, are without a doubt
Inconsequential. For only by the language of
...
I have seen the branches waving,
Blurry lines of color
As the streetlamps flicker by.
They follow as I go, yet not too far ahead.
...
Autumn fell upon us like a whispered summer breeze,
On the nights when we were chasing headlights,
Searching for the dawn.
And every fleeting sunset was a journey to the stars,
...
More often than not, Oh! without a doubt,
The great scheme of and all things,
Will be viewed at length.
Produced by, and for whomever
...
Intertwine my fingers with the moonlight,
And rouse my mind in early strength to bear,
The view of autumn morning's crisper sight,
And lace my feet with tender unwound care.
...
Presently, they followed bard and whim,
To evanescent tangles, spritely tales.
Bought with fortunes,
As a little time is worth the grain of deep.
...
The bitter chill of icy breath
Sweeps lightly over passing day
And marking willful sadness takes
The new approach of scornful daze.

Every sunset is someone else's sunrise. -Erasmus)
Eden
By nightfall did we reach,
And so begin our destination.
As though I would, at least, assume it was a stable course.
Though unsteady was the travel.
You caught me at a time,
And truth be told, there is no other way.
It was quite unlike most present happenings.
Yet something stirring where we will,
And if we may, lay down our heads to rest.
But we are not so fluid in the daytime.
And after several thousand years or so,
Of sitting on blank magazines and
Pamphlet rendered thoughts,
Those structures say:
Come back to earth, come back to feel again!
I do not think I will return.
But look! Those lucky forests sleep away,
Until they wake no more.
But that's a story for when we wake,
Or when we're fast and dead asleep.
And to pull it off without a hitch,
You might have difficult encounters.
Oh but sometimes I wish, and far too often I hope.
Yet they only travel hand in hand.
I wish I'd never held them in my own.
So despite my wavering,
I fell asleep in the midst of my dreams,
And when I woke, I slumbered on.
If only one could have such faith as strong as doubt.
I daresay immovable then.
But uncertainty keeps me, and I'm sure of nothing,
Yet tethered, as one might say, grounded.
Some flickering remnant, to be tasted.
Though you caught me at a time,
There is no other,
No other way.
I'm truly sorry, I truly am,
I did not know how much life was left.
I would've, I could've squeezed the droplets, could've
forced and shook the marrow from the bone.
He could've wrung them dry if he had known..
Sucking the last bit of soul to his lips.
Buck up, they said.
At least you have tomorrow.
At least you have today.
I do not think I will return.
Soot drawn Faces Barter Ageless Time is Not a Wealth of Stone.
And frozen are the flames within the green
For what is love but chasing after wind, And living on the brink of living's end?
There is nothing so fatal to success than the belief one is already there.
The most pitiful man, I think, is the one who does not.
The subtle difference between solitude and loneliness spans the gulf of worlds.
If they say you've lost your mind, you're most likely on the right track.
Brevity makes such selection of necessity.
Silence is a rare thing. In fact, it is almost never quiet enough to discover it isn't there.
Communication is such a complex mechanism, for only by an increase in accuracy do the words reveal heightened inadequacy.
If you stand on a foundation you have hastily constructed, some busy person will knock it flat, quite accidently, as they navigate through their way with infinite certainty.
Poetry is a self-centered application to our experiences, yet inevitably so. We have not the capability to stand in another's place without still looking through the lenses of our own interpretation.
Perhaps if ideas were tangible, we could experience the brilliance of perfect coherence and the subtle art of correlation.
Trivial concerns tend to be what we die for. Rarely is there a cause so noble as to excite anything but boredom.
Perhaps if the entirety of mankind was forced to become self-centered, the world would become a much more suitable living space.
The tendency of the finite mind, as it tinkers with the immaterial, is to merely subjugate reality to its own terms and understandings.
Do not be so foolish as to stand in self-wrought confidence. You did not have to be created.
Orient your mind upon that which is firm and true. Everything else will follow.
There is much comfort in the company of one who likewise desires solitude.
There is something insurmountable in the process of crafting an eternity of emotion by means of the feeblest implementations of understanding: language.
Every moment blossoms once; catch it swiftly while it grows.
Without a doubt, I've won great fortunes, bartered with each breath of life, and sailed on ribbons bought with pain. Yet as I've learned of glories wrought, they all shall fade away.
