does it die

Can it be fixed?
Is there a point of
No return 
To that sunny day
When even God 
Approved and blessed 
Our unusual love
Can I hope to repair 
What tools exist 
A broken foundation 
Needs so much
More
Is the distance 
To great 
For hope 
I cry into the void 
Where once was love
Is now a black hole 
Our calapsed star
Where light 
has no
Chance to escape 
The event 
Horizon of lost love 

ideal

A piece of whisper 
Claims your instant
A moment of Devine
Clarity 
Defense ego gone
With a perfect openness 
You become the filament 
Burning like a star
The bulb lights your 
Path
To an idea
The door opens
The key falls
Gracefully into your
Hand
And with this
You become open
To forever

Dr. Light



thought about YOU while
Peter Gabriel knew
about your eyes
always flamed with
too much honesty and
 whiskey makes men out
of boys are not meant
what I said that day
was long overdue what
you must have been such
a friend comes along only once
in a song that you and I
 both loved too much to
be sane or insane is all
a question of context

I Remember

I remember you for
The smile you gave as I
Loved your scarf and maybe 
Already new you
I remember you for 
The moment we merged
In the forest on
A picnic table entwined 
As the pitch night enveloped 
Us as we desperately tried
Not to succumb
To the inevitable 
I remember you as the
One without judgment
Tears burning across your face
As you longed for a look 
Of love and wanting for something 
That came too soon 
And I am certain 
I loved you then without 
A question or doubt
I remember your uncertain 
But unstoppable hope
As we crashed our lives 
Into each other's 
But just as friends 
Not too serious, laughing 
In hopeless entanglement 
Afraid of what we
So deeply felt and 
How hard we fell in 
I remember your voice 
That too early morning 
As you trembled
To ask that I accept your love 
Without anger or pride 
As though I had not already 
Long before 
I remember the night when 
We gave ourselves the freedom 
To be the love we had 
So long denied out of
Fear of being wounded 
Again
Finally feeling freedom
From our past lives 
As the fear we had
Used to build walls to protect
Crumbled and we
Once again knew 
The joy of being vulnerable 
I remember the rain soaked day 
And the sun swept the clouds 
Away as God gave a blessing 
On the most unusual of days
And we laughed and laughed and couldn't hold back any longer 
I remember when you took
My hand upon your heart 
Creating our beloved daughter 
And the excited trepidation 
Of birth on a day that one 
Soul left in tragedy and 
And a new life took its place 
I remember your constant 
Forgiveness and endless hope 
That time and again pulled me 
From the very edge into 
Your arms as you lay
Your head against my heart 
I will always remember that you 
And always you 
Are my one and only 
My always and forever
My reason, my hope, my choice 
To rage against the darkness 
Of a world that ever more 
Feels stripped of compassion 
I will never forget that you 
Saved me and continue to
Save me with a love that 
Is impossible and 
possible somehow 
In its infinite capacity 
I will always remember
From this moment back 
to the day
I loved your scarf 
That because of you 
I have known the deepest 
Love and joy 
That no person is worthy of 
And I can only hope 
That the humble gift
Of my eternal gratitude 
And the entirety of my soul 
Is enough 
For you to keep me 
In your grace
As the angel who 
Chose to love a fool

Marriage

it will take you apart
it will break you down, building you up
and you create something new

two beings, independent
strong, full of gusto
eyes wide and willing to take
a risk, the grandest

and most wonderful of all
choices, a decision to jump
to fly, maybe fall

and yet...

Where once there were two
something more, something grand

they find a road to walk
only they know, alone and together
they build a home, make a place

and
if by chance they are mighty
in spirit, in will...

Where once there was less, or none
two become one

two become one, you see
two become we
