Thought Crimes

How many world-changing ideas are enslaved in minds that don’t believe in them?

Catch and Release

They say that there are other fish in the sea...

But I once had an entire ocean.

Home Improvement

We are all, I believe, searching for the one other person who shares our exact shade of crazy, and it is this person with whom we wish to make a home. At least then, when we each blow up, the walls will eventually paint themselves an even coat of our insanity.

Dandelions

But before you wish for your all of your dreams to come true,

Remember, my dear, nightmares are dreams too.

The Thought of You

At the beginning of the day, it’s the thought of you that gets me out of bed, and at the end of the day, it’s the thought of you that I fall asleep to. The middle part is trivial as long as I begin and end each day thinking of you.

Lot’s wife

Perhaps her fate was not too tragic after all. I sometimes wish I could turn to salt, slip through your fingers, and dissipate into the vastness of the ocean.

Love’s Arrow

You are by far the most beautiful scar to ever have grazed my heart.

The Fire and the Flame

Quick love burns hot and bright

And engulfs the world in a burst of light.

But slow love burns warm and white,

And holds its form for most the night.

Your twenties

This moment *right now* is melancholia - but will one day grow up to be nostalgia.

In Memory of a Mother: By a Grown Man

Come out from that hiding place you made after those days

When the glass was not half-empty

And we hadn’t yet deciphered the hieroglyphics

Of the English language.

I pinky promise that I won’t hurt you,

You pinky promise that you won’t let me,

And of all the things I’ve learned in life, the most important:

Never go back on a pinky promise.

Is this a rhetorical question?

The doctor is sorry for being two minutes too late,

The journalist for having to type the obituary,

The psychologist for losing a patient,

And I for finding irony in putting our soles between our feet

And the dead of winter.

A child has lost his mother,

A husband, his reason to live,

And I – I  believe that I have lost nothing,

That I will never lose anything…

“Daddy, does heaven have a phone?”
