The Sun is Fire

"The Sun is Fire" - Recorded 3/1/2022 - Auroraboros - Objects, and the Distance Between Them The sun is fire;It will burn awayThis flesh someday,UntilOnly bones remain. The air will be as liquid,And I will swimTo You.

Poetry Reading – “Adrift”

Today's reading is a very short piece, but meaningful in showing how lost I was at the time, yet how despite that, I had a glimmer of hope in that I was doing my best to leverage routine and friendships (no matter how fleeting) to stay afloat. "Adrift" - Recorded 12/31/2020 - Auroraboros - Objects, … Continue reading Poetry Reading – “Adrift” →

The World, Anew

For Rini, my dear friend in Indonesia. Your soul and heart are pure as the water droplets which form on the blades of grass in the early morning, your prayers as loud to the heavens as the chirping of the crickets in the evening hours.

Feathered Wings

Feathered wings,In turn,Fold andSlow-burn,Melting likeA good sinWhere doesOne end,Where does,The next begin? Four flames,Two twins,Four candles,Flicker now in the wind. Warm air,Blowing in,Holding you,Blowing out and blowing through. East-west,Coast to coast,Your ghost,The part of us I miss the most. Pinch of Earth,In both hands,From either pole,North/South,Dry land. Blown out,Floating now,Wait for…The sedentary come down,Hold strong,Hold … Continue reading Feathered Wings →

I Can See the Mountains Once More

In the distance I can see the mountains once more Their jagged peaks Thrust upwards Into the clouds Extending from the Earth below As if to challenge the sprawling sky above A reminder That though the air rests at a higher elevation It is not above the Earth by any means That there are natural … Continue reading I Can See the Mountains Once More →

When We Finally Let Go

When we finally let go Will it be as if we are falling Endlessly Into that great abyss Or will all that we held on to Lift and float away As a curtain to reveal What they had hidden all along?

What I Feel for You

What I feel for you My darling A love that’s true So hold my hand we'll walk together You know there is nothing that we cannot do Hand in hand we'll rise To meet Azure skies As we keep floating ever higher We'll touch the clouds and wave at birds as they pass by Then … Continue reading What I Feel for You →
