“As the Sun Wakes”

As the sun wakes,
Thunder and lightning
Blanket his face
And shut his shining.

Might as well!
This day will be the same:
Where I suffer our love –
And you forget my name.

Death

You seem dark;
People I love
Are afraid of you.
They do not
See you truly,
As poets do.

Those think of you
As a friend,
Some as a lover,
Some as an end.

For me you’re no god,
No gateway –
You are one who will
Never betray.

Cockroach

When ever you saw a cockroach
you’d scream.
I’d compel you and tease you and
You’d run –
Now, you just remain in parts of
My dreams
You have taken the parts of me
That were fun.
Today, I saw a cockroach and
I smiled;
It reminded me of us for a
little while.
