Christmas abound

Untitled I

And I thank all my scars for leading me to you.

One by one I shall call them.

March. Left. Right.

Hello. Hi.

I say to you, with one hand shake after another:

You turned me rebellious in a childish way.

You made me love those four-eyed souls.

You helped me see that my dreams were not my passion.

You gave me the story of Empathy and Generosity.

I say to you, with two hands of good-bye:

You left me without even a sigh.

You led me to believe it was true.

You gave me hopeful hopelessness.

You never came back for me.

And I thank you all for coming.

Please leave the door open.

Hello, my dear.

All It Takes

One kiss is all it takes

to measure the distance between
what is real and what is not,
to change light years to seconds,
to chase miles closer to here,
to fall at the edge of right now
And stumble into the touch
of impermanent death.
One kiss is all it takes
to call upon the stars
from both skies,
to sway the blinding sun into
open valleys,
to cast light upon
the shadow of doubt,
to breathe the promises of tomorrow
and for red lips to be sealed forever.

One kiss is all it takes.
