Times Square Travails

And then suddenly you were gone
like the rustling of crumpled leaves
fading against the backdrop
of a saturated city

My sails became limp and lifeless
hanging threadbare
against Times Square temptations
leaving me with a melancholy mindset
in the midst of a cosmopolitan dream

Manhattan meanderings
simultaneously stifled
an adventure left orphaned
under clouds full of finality

A meteor shower of emotions
enhancing the dimly lit depression
causing a crater of convictions
to overflow and seep into the crevices
flooding my ever-dispirited heart

Everything

With every sunrise
I love you more
Your smiling eyes
Everything I adore
Thru time and space
We’ve kept our love
Explosive cosmic energy
Everything we’re made of
Sparks of passion
Igniting every day
This volcanic connection
Can’t stay away
Everything you are
Is everything I am
I can’t stop feeling
So I send a telegram
Heart wrapped up
A gift for you
Everything I do
I do for you

My sunshiny girl

The sun is always rising from your pocket.
A song is ever frolicking in your hair.
The ground is perpetually dancing beneath your feet.
Delight is incessantly playing in your eyes.
And in shimmery rays of glory,
the color of life is forever found in you.

(My daughter… you are this light).
