Your eyes be like a diamond
With the brilliance
Of a thousand facets.
Dissolving light
Into its varied spectrum
The beauty of which one could not forget
Your voice transmits a melody
Like that which angels play!
So potent it invites my joy
And my sorrow? Chase away
The thought of roaming
A beach with you
Gives to my life meaning
When holding you I pinch myself
Thank god I wasn’t dreaming
Like an empty shell
Sometimes I feel
A cold lifeless being
My tear drowned eyes
Misery ravished heart
A recluse, so seldom seen
As life without you is
Like soup without a bowl
To live on only memories
Is to have a knife struck
Deep into the secrets of my soul.
This morning I awoke to singing
From New England songbirds
Was my first time.
Signaling the dawn of a new day
And the arrival of spring time
‘Tis another season without you
How unlucky could I be?
Turning my head to heaven I asked
Is there anyone as miserable as me?
As electrons set sail
Where the solar wind blows
Traversing the heavens
Destination? None of them knows
So too my essence
Is catapulted into the ether
At thoughts of being reunited
Truly nothing could be sweeter
Though my last month has been
Spent in solitary confinement
The solitude I find in you
Has been a most profound enjoyment
The time we spend together
And activities we engage in
Have stained my memory
Euphoria! If I’m not mistaken
Thus to me my baby
My whole world you are
Should the world prove not big enough!
You definitely are my star!

Home is where the heart is. I’ve heard it once said. So my home is lying next to you, Right there on your bed. For you stole my heart away, Over seven years now. Yet I’m more alive than I’ve ever been. Someway! Somehow! As Seasonal rains restores, The damage caused by a drought. So my lease on life is replenished, When your lips press against my mouth! For to me you are, The perfect specimen of the feminine gender. I’m constantly amazed by, Your humility, eloquence and splendor! You fill my thoughts. You haunt my dreams. Reflecting on the past years, The more obvious to me it seems. From the day we met and our destinies crossed. The intertwining of our souls, Was to be the ultimate cost. Though the seasons change, Some friends are gained, And others to time are lost! I will need you still, and this I will. Till death do us part! Yesterday I saw you past me. What devilish tricks you play! For as I reach out to touch you, Like smoke you fade away! So on my knees I fell, Asking my god for guidance. For living without you feels to me, Like torture invented by medieval tyrants! So low my spirit is taken, It seems a deep dark dungeon. Till you speak those words that pick me up And heal me like a surgeon. And so I will take your essence captive, And call you my beau. As I tell you those same words. I love you too!

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
