Your whispered promises, they still echo in my mind
Forever and always, a love that would forever shine
You held my heart with a gentle touch
And vowed to love me, through every moment, every clutch
But now, I'm left with just a shattered dream
A heart that's broken, and a soul that screams
The forever you promised, it was all a lie
Leaving me with tears that won't dry
You said forever, but forever's come and gone
And I'm left here, all alone, with just this ache
Wondering why you walked away, and left me to decay
And why the love we had, faded like the light of day
Forever, a word that meant so much to me
Now it's just a memory, a bittersweet melody
A reminder at best of the love we had, and the love we lost
A memory that haunts me, like a ghost
But still, I hold on to the love we shared
Hoping that someday, you'll be there, to mend the tears
Though you said forever, and forever's gone
My heart still holds on, to the love that we called home.

A Flower Song
Apparently the Aztecs, Toltecs, Chichimecs and other Mexica were crazy about poetry. Despite the book-burning, slaughter, and epidemics that characterized the early stages of the Spanish conquest of the empires of Mexico, some hundreds of poems from the height of their tradition come down to us in Classical Nahuatl, preserved by Nahua and Spanish scholars of the 16th century. One of the most famous poets, Nezahualcoyotl, was a sage-king who opposed the cult of human sacrifice associated with Tezcatlipoca, God of the Smoking Mirror, and favored Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Flowers and feathers were the favorite offering of the Plumed Serpent. Moreover, flowers and feathers are a metaphor for poetry. Individual words, scattered petals, the down of tropical birds. The temples of blood sacrifice could be transformed into temples of flower and song. A sublimated offering to the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky encapsulated in the Classical Nahuatl kenning for poetry: in xōchitl in cuīcatl, meaning, "the flower and the song." The following poem is part of a longer work, and is in a state of flux, so take the waters as they flow:

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.
