thoughts from the road

"cities are the people,
monuments their conversation
and art another form of lovemaking."

"my worries have shifted
the world exploded into new depth this fall
my eyes see
with more knowledge these days"

"there is truth in different shades of discernment."

"this fall I discovered the mystery of Hindu temples and the importance of leaving home."

ode to antony hegarty

peacefulness in ambiguity is a silly notion
thrown about carelessly like plastic teacups at a children's party
i can see their unkempt curls and dirty napkins now
before the festivities have even begun
i was naive to assume my heart could find solace here
in a world of so many colors
one must be chosen
as a favorite

taking a strong decision; or otherwise

i rocked into you
and you shrank away
the color draining
and energy fading
from your distinguished countenance
your voice tapered off
as the scent of heartbreak seeped nearby
how could you quietly accept the painfulness
of my indecision?
