Roadmap for parting

(Because our parting is inevitable.
(I have seen it in your hands,
And mine.) )

When we start to fight,
Should we try and keep it together
And defy destiny
Or recognize the signs
And end it immediately
To spare us the heartache?

a confused thing

Your love is a confused thing

it is almost like the great love
of those who let you fly,
let you soar,
do everything in their power
to help you chase your dreams

your love is not
like the small, mean love of
those who seek to glorify themselves
at the expense of your ineptitude
forever stifling your growth

and yet,
whenever i was poised for
my most ambitious flights
you would hold me back,
almost like the mean lovers

as if you realize from time to time
that in my giddiness i could fly
away from you.
(and i do not deny
at least to myself
that that is my ultimate intention)
you would always
want me to come back
no matter how high i fly
(then what is the point of the flight
that you gave me?)

your love,
is a very confused thing indeed

Perceptions

I am not angry with you
It just so happened that
You killed my spirit 
And i need some time off

But i suppose
It's all the same to you

But you are my muse

I scatter you
So indiscriminately
In my poems

And i am afraid that
When someone picks up 
the pieces
And joins them
They will not find the whole
That is my muse

But just the parts
That are the Furies
Following me around

My goddess

The queen you are
Who walks on water
Lives on air
As if this world
Was not my mundane one
But one of
Your own personal
Imagination

Dreams on fire

As they say,
Once a bird has tasted flight
It will never be content
With the ground

And so i cannot but 
Love you
For reminding me that
It is possible to fly
Like you

I hate you

For reminding me
That the things i imagine
Bind me
Don't really bind me.
I do.
