within each of us
our loved ones, in tiny form,
caring's innate yield
company at a distance
legacy in case of loss

I'll post some notes in a comment on this thread.
Star Map
Show me the path that
blazes across the night sky,
reflects ocean waves,
and brings me where ancient vows
bind me to my destiny.

Palabras faltan
Si quiero describir
Mi amor por ti
Nació de tu sonrisa
No morirá en mis labios
Theseus’ Promise
Though we're far apart
in life's maze, hold fast your end
of our binding thread;
once our monster has been slain,
we'll find each other, at last.

wind chimes welcome spring
gentle equinox, it’s breeze
barely stirs the soul
exit, pursued by a lamb,
to bumble bees and birdsong
Promise
I've opened my heart,
shown you my light and shadow,
and received your love;
so, I’ll rejoice when you smile,
and seek to hold you, through tears.

What looks like sunrise
Is really Diogenes
Holding his lantern
Over our land searching for
An honest politician

Shade
I hold a shadow
in my heart, unseen, that feeds
on pain, and darkens;
I will fight this, and for all
that has grown too dear to lose.

De la marmitte
envahit la maison
parfum rassurant du riz
ce soir à nouveau elles deux
penchees sur leurs bols

Like a mosquito
Able to thread the needle
Up my baggy pants
Delivered an itchy bite
On a most indiscrete bit

Daybreak Valley
The mountain called me,
as clouds broke in the dawn light,
speaking of lost days;
will I, again, find passion,
too long hidden beneath pain?

write
what your heart
has to say
the imperfections
are part of the message
