Katya

I caught a snowflake as it fell
Gave it a name before it melted away forever
It lived uniquely then, if just for a moment
The envy of all the other snow

3

The universal Trinity gives you these options
Obviously...
Mind, body, or spirit
Three individual and distinct aspects
Each and everyone is filed away
Categorized on the planes of a triangle
Broken with an introduction of soul

In a Vacuum

The comfort of my nice warm bed holds
A mind and body grumbling from late night hunger

Questions about the need for unobtained treasure
Thoughts of my nightly rest with/without you

If I should die here before I see morning
These are final moments of my currently burdened experience

I'll leave them all behind to dance through the void
Cultivated in the sweetened grace of your absence

Some Guy

This guy I know
He works in a bookstore
Gets passed over for a promotion he so badly wants
This insults him
He grows frustrated and quits in anger
Walks out in disgust
With no new job or future prospects
Just the bitterness of self-sown defeat
He goes back to collect his final paycheck
Dressed to the nines in a fancy, brand new business suit
Just to show those bitches he doesn't need them
But they all know better
He can't hide the sad truth behind his wounded bravado
He's there out of necessity
That suit isn't going to pay for itself

The Fallen

I tripped and fell down a hole
I kept falling and falling
I think I fell forever
When I finally reached the bottom
I was so happy to not be falling
I didn't feel the pain of impact
I stood up and dusted myself off
The hole was deep and the sky just a pinhole
I looked down at that ground with remembrance
I picked up the shovel that was left for me
I started to dig

The Puzzle

It's the state of completeness
A steady flow of cohesive thoughts and bright ideas
An emotional Pangean garden
Where perfect days are long and bountiful
Giving way to deepest soothing nights
The air is love
The water, forgiveness
The earth crawling and shifting with wisdom
Bright passion burns hotter than a white supernova
Pulling all the disconnected pieces into one
Making everything complete
Making me whole

Wherlwind

I hear her heavy sigh in the wind
She carries in her heart the dream of solace
A rolling wave of cool breeze and elevation
She passes 'round me like seductive smoke
Through me like a subtle but thorough vibration
She's the world's most powerfully elusive song
I stand tall to absorb and embrace her
But all I can do is listen

I'm a Piler

I'm a piler
I make piles of things
Books, socks, Christmas cards
Like an ant
Building shelter out of everyday things
Just as my ancestors did long before me

My Regret

When I roll out of bed and open the day
They pass in front of me like dressed-up windows in downtown shops
All the times I've said "I love you" and meant it
If I could take them all back I'd be tempted
Giving up precious years spent with friends and lovers
Just to clear the space without them from my heart overflowing
That is the power and madness of my regret
