city/nature

the city moves in its own rhythm -
like the earth
(parody)

(god is laughing)

walls

we spend all our time
building up walls
(defenses)
(from who?)
and wonder why we are lonely.

camera closeups on faces
turned away from the crowd

shrine

locked within these four walls
i cry out -
still alone,
not alone. lonely.
i need a partner in crime...

help me build a shrine to my demons.
therapy,
dissect my problems
bloodless, opened on the table
by a scalpel i can no longer use.

why is my soul so unsatisfied
in the warmth of the summer sun?

i love you because i love you

i love you
because i love you.
not for logic
or facts
or longing for heaven -
your existence,
merely
inspires my heart to light.

i love you
because i love you.
no list is long enough to hold the reasons;
no hatred.
no remorse.
you move me,
the mountain has come to
-m

i love you
because i love you.
and today,
that may be enough.
