Brilliance
You were the only light in my life, beaming
Yet you turned off your switch, dimming
Your bulb reflected my face for the last time, regenerating
Your electricity had replaced the sun for me, flickering
But your humanmade alternative couldn't keep me alive forever, flaring
You overheated just to keep me warm, sparking
Thank you for your temporary imitation, conserving
What To Do?
I have a trustworthy fiend
And a dishonorable friend
Tell me, how am I to contend
To upend
Aberrances and appearances
Without rejecting formality and
Quality, yet disclose duality
To express with sanity,
Without promoting vanity
Or upholding their delusions
Through diffusion
Can you see through your allies?
Past their reputations and the lies,
To view things and people
For who they actually
Are, or can be,
And not be fooled,
By the mere illusionary
Model
He is Niagara Falls
His crown is an aureole
His visage is the Evening Star
His breath is a humidifier
He’s the edge of the earth
Honestly
You don’t call me beautiful anymore
You just call me by my name
What changed?
Will you dote on me again someday?
Better Now
Those memories of childhood
When I misused
Abused
The power
Behind love
Beneath love
Love defined
They censure me as they have no ensured erasure
Destiny
Love is premeditated synchronicity
It’s a because
It’s what never was
The heart is a city
