I watched the full moon
until my eyes began to sting,
trying to understand
why beauty sometimes hurts
more than anything ugly.
Perhaps it was the hour,
perhaps it was her,
or perhaps the heart
simply grows tired
of carrying a love
that has nowhere to go.

Maybe we are worrying too much about a life that is already unfolding as it was meant to.
i could carve myself into a thousand forms of devotion,
and still be but a fraction of what you desire.
autumn laid its amber
at the hem of her dress,
the wind stole a strand of hair,
and the trees watched her pass.
I had a pocketful of verses,
each one rehearsed for her,
but October fell between us,
and I forgot every word.
