me
me… because i am your “me”
but also
the greater collective of “me“
who you could know

secrets unknown
through hidden stairways 
i see you best
the way you grow
in between
that which is covered
(and unknown…)
but beautiful you are
(secret, speak to me)
the ones who know
are lucky ones
who live there
in your recipe of magic
the others
pass
and find in you
their favorite
moments
(reverse time now
to show me
your unknown)

seeds
i will
plant more
seeds
near the flower
that is you
walking away now
to your
innuendo
in a dream
where a shadow
misses your touch
f a i n t l y, with eyes closed
a fire burns, a purple hue
and its silence speaks

its vapors
as the mist, its vapors
turns my air
to its breath
i can feel that i knew you
once
before i knew…
you burned me
with your fire
inside:
i have always known you
and even when i did know
i didn’t know yet
yet i knew too…
that all along
you were building a mystery
that had dissolved into me

especially when
on the pathway to greatness
realized, by your form
and your flow
the way it washes into me
especially when i’m not looking

red
fire
me up
with your
sun
and your
soul..
like
the way
i sometimes
feel
the flame
pierce the
shield
i keep
around me
it feels good
to know you
do it
again

my twists, your turns
i see you
only partly
and maybe later
you’ll know
the difference between
my twists
and your turns
whisper to me,
snakelike path
of wholeness…
you deserve
a view

used to be
i’m used to your fervor
your passion in the moment
touching the part of me
that lingers
moving toward you…
but your attention
drifting
although lovingly
remembering
the way you used to be
before me

to the end of the road
words only take me to the end of the road… where feelings are footpaths… but, opening me to you and you to me… i miss you when you go… i am yours… sing to me anyway… never forget that your tears are your soul…

a
special
kind of
butterfly
in my

i adore
the way
you are
made of
stardust
as if gathered
together
for me

i don’t forget
if you forget me
do you think i’ll forget you?
not a chance…
because you are part of
the idea
that i’ve always had
where a secret
floats like a cloud
and you already know
what it is
before it invites you

try to fool me
you can try to fool me
fool me not
but maybe at morning
as the day begins to remind me
that day can be night if i let it
or i can move backwards
through time
deceptions as distractions
flowing through my brain
when it believes that maybe chaos does rule the world
try me, try to fool me, maybe once…
and then maybe, i’ll go to the other leftside of the moon later

flowers kiss
you could live there
your heart beating
in my mind
as a trail
to the sun…
…missing life
without you…
…like the times
when the flowers
kiss
the
bees
