The dichotomy of love
You opened my eyes
then shut them again
the sun shone
then came the rain
the joyous rapture
and the ceaseless pain
unbridled laughter
that today sounds insane
once a transport of delight
now a trip down memory lane.

The laden sky
The heavily laden sky
hanging like a shroud over your head
a dense blanket of deep shame
and guilty promises
a teeming downpour of tears
drowning out the screams
of tormented children
abandoned and destitute
cruelly denied a loving spirit
by the mean minded heavens
to scream, to dream, to summon
a better life than the one
randomly placed before you.

Another's eyes
I hope that around the world
people, everywhere
are trying to look through
another's eyes
taking another perspective
opening up
and showing compassion
and understanding.

The Snowman
The snowman floats an eternity away
distant, but now closer in this vast array
Joined at birth, Ultima and Thule
Now become the universe’s jewel.
