by

loss

There is such sadness in the air

it drifts through the hallways

and lingers at the doors

So fine this gray mist

We only glance at each other

for if I were to look

directly in your eyes

you would see the sadness

gather there

and spill slowly down my cheeks 

by

another old one

eyes opened wide
I have journeyed
past all imaginings
to the deep spaces
where tempests of longing
warp the fabric of my reality
sending me reeling
tumbling
falling
I have made you up
a thousand times
miracle of never
even with eyes closed
I see you
still
