SURREAL LOVE STORY

Magic
Adoration
Mysterious union
Born so many moons ago
Surreal
Breathtaking still
Screams in harmony
Silent lament
Boy meets girl
Romantic ritual
Dancing down the brittle yearbook pages
Explosive adolescence
Veritable plunge
Mask of blind pursuit
Threadbare facade
Hidden gems
Strewn about in dreamy glee
Ripe for the picking
Alas
Just out of reach
Dying on the vine
Slowing down to feel
Poetic elegance
Absorbed
Truly understood
Taken seriously
Unassuming audience
Haunted memory
Sultry eyes
Aflame
Glowing embers
Passions radiance
Internal
Empty fantasy
Stagger
Ever so lightly
On subtle might have been
Reclusive thoughts
Strangely sentimental
Emotional ghost
Flowing through his lonely soul
Longing to be free
Wings of non commitment
Artistic expression
Low key stillness
One fragile heart
Barely beating now
Courteous small talk
Pleasant euphemisms
Surrogates for deeper pain
Waiting patiently
On a cab that shall never come

GOD’S SENSE OF HUMOR

Flowing words
From deepest chasm
Wounded
Screaming out in pain
Sacred thoughts
Cloudy dreams
Soulful script unfolds
Esoteric metaphors
Lack of metered rhythm
Critics can be damned
Jeers the aging wordsmith
Nobel truth
Never futile
Needs no coy defense
Melancholy smile
From she who truly feels it
Distant twinkle
Darts through her misty eyes
So beautiful
Hypnotic
She lives on the inside
Warm
Safe
Secure
Longing for solutions
Going through the motions
Genuine fulfillment
Beyond her silky grasp
He wanders
Just outside the glass
Lonely
Mystified
Trying hard to sustain
Brave game face
Trusted Gentleman
Gazing in at her
Craving her angelic touch
Familiar comfort zone
Surreal fantasy
Thirty years
A vacuum
So many things have changed
Many more
Not altered
By the fleeting time
God’s sense of humor
Two separate lives
Unique relationship
Friends
Forever bound
Four hundred miles between

SOUL THESIS

Precocious thoughts
Tranquility
Imperfect circumstance
No need for human eyes to see
Just faith
Blind
Consuming
Soul thesis
Word for word
Significant
Yet simple
Impatience
Chokes discernment
Fosters discontent
Social theories
Fad affairs
Boring dissertations
Weary from the drama
Impending epilogue
Searing eyes
Hypocrisy
Futile exploration
No need for resolution
Righteousness prevails
