Kiss me once more lovingly,
than you have kissed before
Tell me that our love is shared,
and one plus one is four
Kiss me once more lovingly,
with time our hearts denied
As death abates, new dreams await
—forever’s wish to hide
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2020)
The Ticket Lost
I’m back from war without my soul,
having pawned it on the field
Among the dead and buried dreams,
whose futile prayers concealed
I wonder where my spirit hides,
as I sleep these endless hours
With day as night and night as day,
in loneliness devoured
My mind goes back to search the graves,
old enemies inside
And calls my name into the dark
—reclaiming every lie
(Dreamsleep: October, 2020)

really like your take on the contrasting duality in our mind's at times, showcased by the two starkly different writes you've shared,
I think the yin and yang ideology has a lot of merit, the coexistence of two vastly differing elements is a common occurrence in nature - as-in our lives
Thanks so much, LB.
