Dear Kia,

To know you is to feel the

Energy of the universe within me

The feeling of returning home 

A familiar face after after years away

Uncertainty and utmost acceptance 

—

I accept that you are who you are 

I accept that my love can not wash away

whatever pain you may feel and

I accept that if I must go for you to be free

I will fly a thousand light years away 

Just to say I knew you in a past life

That I knew you in a different way, but

—

Life has cycles and so do we

Would a butterfly clip its wings,

Just for the comfort of its cocoon?

So why should you? 

We will always be connected and 

That is a catalyst for closure 

—

You can be sure, you don’t owe me

Or anyone else, anything 

You should fly as high as your heart desires and if you ever look down

You can know the one who loves you 

Is looking up at you, too

Tangerine Dream

My dear Tangerine Dream,

We met by accident, yet deliberately,

We stayed in touch, and meticulously,

We disassemble our feelings,

Attempting to understand,

“Where does it start…and

…Where does it end?”

Simply put:

It is like all the love I’ve

Ever lost, has come back to me,

And all at once, I am full,

(Of you)

—

Overwhelmed with pleasure,

Joy and gratitude, I am convinced;

It is not just me! For everywhere we look,

We see each other… (In ourselves,)

Even nature is on our side!

Swallowing us, whole,

She drowns us in her

Cocoon of comfort and

Companionship;

We sink.

—

You see,

Fate is a poem and to

Be deliberate with our intentions

Equates to—rolling a dice and

Not doubting to land perfect sixes—

In other words:

It is no accident that the

Universe came up with us, and

…With such timeliness, too?

Really, what are the odds?

—

We should therefore, bask

In our union, and re-unions,

Whether for a day,

A month or a year,

Let us ignore the world,

Let us forget to care and

In Pablo Neruda’s words,

“Let us do with each other,

What spring does with Cherry trees…”

Over and over and over, again.

—

Oh, tangerine dream,

In a basket full of fruit,

I choose you, as

I am most fascinated by you, and

Like a child, you

Evoke faultless curiosity, so

I invite you to play, and

I can only hope that you will stay,

Pure and true…as, I have since come to

Love you that way.

Memoires für Felina

“You want your freedom,

and if it means letting you go

I’d rather love you from the

other side of the world”

This is what I should have said

 

But instead,

I loved you like Icarus loved the sun:

Too close, too much.

The result was the same.

 

Lovers come and

Lovers go, and so will I

and so, I will

Let you go,

as you wish.

A Tango in Halves II

Our fortunes,

split in twos

resembles fool’s gold

or so i’ve been told

 

Speaking out loud

foiled our revelations

mistruths in the stars,

and failures of constellations

 

Our luck, our love

diffused through time,

call it fate, call it karma

our sorrow reflecting

Sade’s love crime,

It’s a sign.

 

The unpredictability reeks of irony,

meanwhile we are apart because

we wish to be together, because

we wish to be better

for each other

but we all know

it takes two

to tango

Gone for good

There’s still us, darlin’

not in reality but

in my dreams of you

Trials / Tribulations

I’ve done some things I’m not proud of

My hands smell of shame, unworthiness

No matter how hard I wash and scrub away

It seems the stain is here to stay.

 

I’ve done some things I’m not fond of

The guilt lingers in my atmosphere daily,

As if to haunt me,

To mock me,

To take the blade and

Twist it.

I get it.

 

This is my own doing.

Fire & Desire

Pyromaniac,

I burn for you when we touch

I am curious

For you, Jiji

Mysterious mistress

You found me when I found you

You said you liked the before,

but loved the after–

the creature that lived,

the creature that died

for us

 

The devil,  

she dances on our shoulders,

somehow this unites us, 

revealing our burning desires;

The flames who first lit up

the darkness within you,

the darkness within me

 

Naked, nude, natural, naughty

We’ve always been honest and true

so nothing compares to our touch,

Always purifying, electrifying, 

never dying.

 

In this world there are no winners 

In this world there are only sinners 

And when it all ends, 

I’m glad it will be you

by my side.

Away (from me)

It may be cliche,

But who knew it would come to

This, the one who got…

Envy

It’s not that I wish

I were her, rather I wish

It just wasn’t you
