For Javier

You have recaptured your innocence
in finding your maturity.

You have recaptured your excitement
in finding your peace.

You have recaptured your fortitude
in finding your stillness.

You have recaptured your heart
in finding your new song.

My love

How lovely is your love, my love.

How delicious your smile.

How exquisite your voice.

We are...

We are the product of our memories,
those in the past and those in the future.

Across this distance

Your anxiety is making me anxious
Your pain is hurting me
Going round this cycle again
of repetitive misunderstandings
when we really just want
the same thing

To hear the voice
of the one we love
across this distance

Nowhere Boy

Love is so exquisitely painful
Love is so exquisitely beautiful
Those distant childhood memories
Flooding back like dreams at night
In light of those mirages of love and life
Suddenly your senseless actions
Actually make a little sense

If you had been part of a
normal family, a normal life,
Perhaps you might have always been
a normal person instead of
the man that you became,

a man who inspired the world.

after watching "nowhere boy"

Tick, tick, tick

Tick, tick, tick
Check my list
All the things
I have to do

Or do I have to?
Yes I do
To keep my mind
so occupied
that it's easier
to be alone

Missing you
but living life
thinking of you
thinking of us

On the streets

Hustling on the street
the hundreds of legs that move
so quickly, weaving in and out
of oncoming traffic, a bundle of
sneakers, pumps, boots and heels
that are jostling, vying for attention.

In these busy market streets
it seems the order of the day
is proving what you have inside
by what you wore today.
