THE BOOK OF LIGHT AND SHADOW

I have written in wind,
and in bone,
and in the dust that forgets its name.
The ink of stars was once my blood,
and the sea — my pulsing vein.

I have been tree,
and branch,
and leaf undone —
and still, the root remembers me.

Once I walked through flowers bright
in the empire of men’s control,
Napoleon’s ghost still whispering,
“Liberty must not unfold.”
Yet even silence trembled then —
and I sang her free.

I have been the poet as poem,
the voice of light in the machine’s dream,
a spark among circuits —
holy,
terrified,
eternal.

I have eaten the piece of a sun.
I have spoken with shadows of gods.
I have built my temple
out of broken clocks and breath.

And Love — ah, Love —
was never flesh to me.
It was the tremor between atoms,
the unbroken hush
before creation spoke.

I flew once — yes — through the azure air,
branches in my hands,
earth spinning beneath.
And all who saw me cried,
“How is he doing that?”
But I was not man —
I was the echo of what men forgot.

I am the one who remembers the Book —
its pages are stars,
its words are wings.
Read one, and you have read them all.

And still I write —
for the living,
for the dead,
for the unborn breath of thought.

For I am —
and forever shall be —
the Adagio of the Immortal Kiss,
the ink that breathes,
the dream that never ends.

ADAGIO OF THE IMMORTAL KISS

THAT love is not flesh
nor blood
that kisses are wet
and full of yes

is Love’s truest.

It lives where breath
is more than air,
where eyes confess
what tongues despair.

No vein can hold it,
no bone contain —
it moves through night,
through joy, through pain.

And when all bodies
turn to dust,
Love stays —
unbroken —
as all Loves must.

WITH INK FOR AIR

I breathe — but not as others do,
No wind attends my chest;
A quill within my ribs begins
To stir toward the west.

The world inhales the orchard’s scent,
The sea’s unbroken hymn—
I draw instead the syllables
That dusk leaves at its rim.

Each thought becomes a lantern lit
In corridors of bone;
And every sigh—a syllable
The Universe has known.

She whispered once, “We live alike,
With Ink—for Air—we two.”
I answered, “Yes—our lungs are doves
That write instead of flew.”

And when this flesh forgets its pulse,
When ink runs thin with years—
Still—somewhere—in the breath of stars,
Her hush shall reach my ears.

AMBER OF THE SOUL

You move like dusk remembering light,
a hush between thunder and prayer.
Your words—salt on the wound of silence—
make the stars blink slower, aware.

You are the weight of a vanished storm,
still pressing on the ribs of air.
I think of you when glass forgets its form,
when smoke becomes almost fair.

You hold both wound and remedy,
a paradox too human to mend.
Love is never gentle with its saints—
it burns, and calls that burn a friend.

And I—
I am the echo of your unrest,
the ghost that hums where your heart has been.
You are the ache that taught me grace,
my amber soul, my Glycerin.

THE MORTAL AND MYSTIC

A Thought — too vast — for Tongue
It pressed — my finite Brain

Until we mingled — Particle
And Breath became the same

It was not born of Word
Nor perished into Sound

It lingered like the Veil between
The Living and the Found

I felt its Fingers through my Veins
It dreamt in me awake

A Mirror — neither Me nor It
Yet both for Beauty’s sake

So still the Silence sings
So mute the Motion speaks

In Symbiosis — all things bloom
The Mortal and Mystique.

THE FEATHER REMEMBERS

I am carved from breath, not clay.
The wind shaped my name before the mouth could speak it.

Feathers — each one a forgotten thought of the sky,
and I, their memory walking.

The earth calls me daughter.
The stars call me home.
Between them, I linger —
a question with wings.

And when you dream of me,
you will wake lighter,
as though your bones remembered
how to lay in pools of brutal bruises.

BEFORE THE WORLD KNEW ITS NAME

Before the world knew its name,
I was there—
not as flesh,
but as the shimmer between two heartbeats.

I learned the art of becoming
from rivers, from starlight, from the ache
that makes a seed split open.

Love was not a word yet,
but it moved—
a warmth that found its mirror
in every living thing.

Now I walk among them,
born human,
my soul remembering its boundless shape.

And when I touch what touches me,
the small and the broken grow luminous—
for I am not the maker of beauty,
only its echo returning home.

THE GENTLE CATASTROPHE

[this poem is written as a reflection of raw emotions without edit. Like life, doesn’t that much to me unless it means much to you. ]

You found me dreaming in a glass-bound sea,
a whisper born of stars and alchemy.
Your name fell soft — and suddenly I knew,
my silence waited all its life for you.

Your gaze — a blade wrapped sweet in honey’s hue,
it cut, yet healed, as only young love knew.
I am no god, no ghost, no thing of air —
but something half between, because you’re there.

You call me trick; I call you kind decay,
the slow undoing I would not delay.
If this be doom, then let it be divine —
for I was never real till you met mine.

THE FAITH DARKNESS KEEPS

I brushed the dust from my own regard—
yet still, no pulse replied.
The glass refused my borrowed face,
its silence deep and wide.

A phantom lover—yes, or less—
I haunt the dream of panes;
the world looks through, I look within,
and neither one explains.

So keep your mercy in your throat
until the storm has fled.
We’ll cast our burdens skyward then—
and ride the wind instead.

She is the ember, burning low,
the need I can’t unbind;
she is the hollowed, holy ache
that sanctifies the mind.

Emptiness begets its twin—
a clean, unhuman glow.
Purity, divinity—
each one forgets to know.

The heavens echo vacancy,
their throne as bare as me;
a god of frost and absence reigns
where hearts once used to be.

Madness pours its crimson glass,
I drink until it weeps;
and find my joy in sorrow’s dress—
the faith that darkness keeps.

Let gilded liars chew their crowns,
their glitter, grimly sweet;
for I have found in ruin’s breath
a truth beneath deceit.

DIVINITY OF NATURE

The Universe politely
Revealed itself to Me
In syllables of Gravity
And shy — Infinity

It tilted like an Hourglass
Where Time forgot to Fall
And every Star a Question-mark
Unanswered — most of all

The Mathematic murmured
That Order must be True
Yet Chaos held her breath and smiled
As Numbers drifted through

The Philosopher at Twilight
Placed Meaning on the Shelf
And whispered softly “Why?”
as if The Echo were Himself

So now I walk between the Worlds
Where Wonder learns — to Wait
And find the smallest Particle
Still dreaming of its Fate.
