I can’t sing you a sad song.
patience for life’s lovers
all these people,
opened up,
howl like children
for something different in these places.
Mermaids only dream
our burning love.
I will not take
first dandelions,
each one a kiss
weighing heavy on my heart.
Warm breath on my neck,
I have burned.
I could write between the lines
the many masks of the broken child:
Rainbow sprays in the garden.
I love you still.
Lullaby sea
has aged gracefully.
Time has taken
the dewdrops of sadness
awaiting damnation,
silencing the crowds.
Blink of an eye,
what was wholly irrelevent
blossoms in the mind:
I never see you smiling.
Life makes us cynical,
oddly balanced.
That impossible moment
lights the trees,
the sky looks like me.
