Alone with my longing
Broken and unaware
Change was so close
Disguised in a stare
**
Everything around me
Faded in your eyes
Glowing like starlight
Heaven in your smile
**
Inspiration overtook me
Just like a muse
Killing my fear
Letting hope loose
**
My soul awakened
No longer asleep
Opened to hold you
Pulsing with need
**
Quivering anticipation
Ringing in my ears
Set me in motion
Took me from my chair
**
Unsure what to say
Verbose is not me
With wine I arrived like
Xi to the sea
**
Your love for twenty years is the
Zen that fills me!!

The Longest Minute
A minute. Sixty seconds to say goodbye. That’s all the time that I had left with him as the needle slid into his leg. I stared into his drooping eyes, looked at the blood-tainted saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. They said that this was the best thing that we could do for him, a last kind act for a best friend…but if that were the case, then why did my heart feel so heavy?
