Two Poems of Living

Luminous Life

Ahhh....
Luminous Life
how you deceive me!
how you take from me all that I am
and leave me nothing to speak of...
how you torment me
with my own tears
and ridicule me
with my own fears
how sublime you are!
how wondrous your imagination,
how unpredictable a friend,

my Beloved Lover, you steal from me
my very own breath
you shatter everything that has ever been mine.



An Honest Life



How brilliantly honest life is,
all that is yours
all that is mine
can never add
or subtract
even one moment.

The night falls without question,
thoughts come and go.
