The Elegance of the Miraculous

 

It’s easy to think there is a link

Between the planned and the spontaneous

Chaos in chronological order

Or a singular synchronicity

Of course such thinking is ingenuous

Pure folly, madness or close to the brink

Tantalizing yes, but erroneous

Thoughts fit to be tied, easy to slaughter

Incomprehensible sheer lunacy

The elegance of the miraculous

 

Waiting

 

This is not a place

more like a point that indicates the space

between two faces

which  arrival and departure creates and erases

separate and alone

a zone all its own

that widens the gap

and sets the trap

we define as waiting

 

Notions of True Love Disintegrate

 

I go to places full of faces

many are having fun

a few are on the run

there is genius and madness

laughter and sadness

here to learn , here for kicks

serious and foolish all in a mix

side by side the down trodden and the lofty

all trying to relax, all drinking coffee

she stands alone so far from home

she makes me think there is a link

for the two of us being here

and not god knows where.

I look at her and she looks at me

there is a smile I’m glad to see

she moves slowly and with grace

heading towards me at a steady pace

again she smiles, time stands still

this is our moment, this is the thrill

her beauty is great to behold

while her youth reminds me I am old

then she asks if I’m looking for a date

and all  my notions of true love disintegrate
