Triolet Poem #60
As true as love and right as rain,
let's hope the stars will light our way.
As my feelings are as hot as pain,
as true as love, and right as rain.
Every lose can be a gain.
After the night will come the day,
as true as love and right as rain.
Let's hope the stars will light our way.
"As True As Love", JEP

What will keep us alive
this time?
We share trauma
like a picnic
and the grass
is dead as a needle.
Looking back
at the epitaphs
of parents
and dreams, we
kiss under the rainbow.
Maybe we'll survive.
I hope you do.
Robert J. W.

Love is many things but it is also an agreement where both parties state their needs, their expectations, their limits. Both must be honest with each other and themselves, and go in with eyes wide open. Things must be talked out loud, and not assumed. Hurts must not be allowed to fester and anything that bothers or upsets you must be brought out to the light even if it is difficult. Communication must always remain open and vibrant for change is inevitable and these conversations must be had constantly. If there comes a time you cannot come to an understanding then please part before bitterness and hurt take over and obliterate every good memory from both of your hearts. Love is an agreement, a pact, a promise, something that must be held in reverence and honored by those involved.

The moment I saw her, is the moment I became jealous of the sun that touches her skin, the air that is pulled into her lungs, the wind that caresses its fingers tight around her body.
That's the moment I truly knew how to dream.

Before the lights go out
Let's be lovers for a day,
In case we won't make it through the night!
At least we'll have a story to hold onto
For when the world ends,
We know we're not meant to grow old
So maybe let's tell each other words
We’ve never heard before,
Confess our crimes and taste the sky
Before it all comes down,
Before the earth is fire and ash,
Before the lights go out.
~ A. A. Roman

dazzling drops
of April sunlight
form constellations
among the mangroves
diamond chains
of exploding novas
sparked to life by an
ever-changing cosmos

It was Never about You //

I write to you, of you, not because our souls are intertwined,
neither because you're mine or I'm yours,
but because I do not know of any other audience,
for these thoughts, in the form of mere words,
for this fragmented existence,
which reveals through the cracks of past experiences,
to lose itself in the captivating beauty,
that is yourself.

Love me like you sought me
but found yourself. if I’m the
trees, you’re the wind & I can’t
dance without you. sometimes I cry
for all the breaths you didn’t
get to take - when your heart is an
abandoned house, I will look for
you in every room - I’ve known
you in lifetimes we’re both too
young to have
lived

The peach tree in Mama’s backyard
Beckoned me home,
Abode atop a mountain I’ve never owned,
Soil, beneath feet, I’ve barely known.
And it’s within this grand scheme of
Her name, “Zhang,”
A name, adopting me and etched upon a time,
Temples built “then” to bridge tomorrow’s trace,
That I first taste -
To belong. To be. To become.
To shed the shadow of the nameless.
I no longer fear the end. I await it.
- Hathaway Hayes (2024)

This drip-feed
of distortion
and subtraction leaves
malnourishment
as salvation.
Tear the IV
from the vein
and worship
kindness
because these lives
are fragile
as standing water.

Sometimes I need you so much. I don't know why there seems to be a black hole that opens inside my chest, a tightness in my throat that won't leave, this burning in my blood that screams your name.

Burning Hour
It must be the music that touches
this hiraeth hollow
sweet and bitter below my ribs;
I cannot for the life of me think
why else as I roll an old ink press
over layers of cloth and clay
I remember exactly
when you were lost at sea
and I began surviving
differently.
It must be the music
because outside the sky
still reflects
uncanny ice blue
there is pink in the cloud
sailing across steadfast
the moon
is almost gold
and you’re no longer seeing
any of it
through my eyes
that I know of, dear heart.

Is it possible to love too deeply, with too much addiction or passion?
I look at the plants as they reach for the sun
I watch the moon move the oceans
The heart has no limit to its depth
