To create is pure
So long as you’re creating
Art for its own sake
2/16/2022
Would that my soul
Could ever be as free
As it is
Amidst music
2/15/2022 – a haiku
What truth can be found
In a place bereft of it
Where lies are language?
Sonnet 15
Five years we’ve walked beside each other now
And still a fire is kindled in our wake
Still cling do we to our most solemn vow
And hand in hand each of our steps we take
Would that I could relive each of the days
The best of them, and then the worst as well
So long as in each one there was your gaze
Into the depths of which I often fell
Alas that we must trudge so quickly forth
Into the dark unknown of future’s grip
But then, uncertainty, too, has its worth
And you are ever there to right the ship
For if we have to face that wide unknown
I’m glad to do it with the love we’ve grown
2/12/2022
I looked into your eyes
and found the stars
2/11/2022 – a haiku
Have a seat by me
And tell me of your sorrow
I vow to listen
2/10/2022 – born of stardust
I look to the skies
For though they are blinding
And boundless
Out there is some of me
And in me, some of there
2/9/2022
There is wonder in stillness
That I long to grasp
2/8/2022 – a haiku
I reach for a word
Sitting upon my tongue’s tip
Yet it slips away
2/7/2022
As I commit the ink upon the page
The words rise up and turn to fevered dreams
And thus my mind is freed from earthly cage
To see far past this grey world as it seems
