Life & Death

And they flirted

Day and night

Since the beginning of time




They were bound 

by the laws of the universe

In eternal love sublime




She kept sending him

myriad gifts 

Some say, 'it was destiny'




He saved them all

in his heart

For the rest of eternity. 

The Window

I saw you everyday
By at the blue window frame
White lace curtains flapping in the wind
And a mighty maple tree reaching out to you

I saw you everyday
Sometimes whistling a tune
Or brushing your bewitching, long tresses
And other times, watching the world go by

I saw you everyday
From when we were kids
To before you moved away 
In a red mini van with your family

I saw you everyday
And it filled my day with purpose
I felt I could conquer the world
I looked forward to another glorious day

I saw you everyday
But not once did you glance at me
A lorn lad, looking for acknowledgment
May be, just may be, she'll look at me today

I passed by your house today
The blue on the window has faded
the wood crumbling
The curtains no longer ruffle

But the mighty maple ...

Still stands
the leaves still change every autumn
And they come back each spring
Just the same.
