The everythingness
Of stars forming empties me –
Nothing left to feel.
Carina Nebula
Poems and Promises
Music, sleepless nights,
Shared meals, politics, kisses …
The question must wait.
In Your Arms
Desire to protect
And to hold her fragile heart
Means more than you know.
The Other Side
Very comforting
To know that you understand —
You went there yourself.
Return
Unwanted friend returns;
Heat prickles between the blades –
Fear fills her body.
Razor
Sharp words, painful prick
Hissing from previous good —
I am deflated.

After the send-off
Last moments, life fluttering –
Metamorphosis.
Thank You for Telling Me
It must have been hard
Saying it was suicide,
That he hanged himself.
Dark Angels
Sharp word: suicide.
You hanged yourself to escape
Your demons, sweet friend.
For Ed Porawski

To your enriching my life,
To your hugs, your warmth –
Suddenly goodbye.
