TP Sage Poems

You smiled at me
and I lived a thousand years
in an instant.
The earth itself stopped turning
...

You danced for me.
A hundred silken scarves you wore.
A hundred colors for me to see
as you twirled about the floor.
...

I walked alone
while you waited.
I watched the sunset.
you anticipated.
...

I thought you were the ending
to my final story.
The last chapter I would ever have to read.
I thought your sounds
...

I don't want to need you.
Leave me alone...

I'm leaking.
...

If I promised that the music
would never go away
If I showed you smiles and laughter
when tears got in your way
...

it's not that I'm
afraid
of losing you
there is no reason to explain
...

I remember
when the wine
was sweet
and our laughter
...

She’s walking through a ghostly mist
alone beneath night’s glowing disc
midnight denial seems an easy risk
she’s happy in the dark
...

A lonely thought occurred to me
borrowed from lost tragedy
contained within a shielded heart...
destinies dismissed.
...
