Carpe Diem
our yesteryear was seized
and death sees this


*

Days are never wished to stay,
but instead blamed.
Life is no bed.


*

Today is a door given
we are either passers-by
or imploring entrants


*

We discover the
beatitude of chaos
when we die trying


*

Daughter of
light,distance
broke between us


*

Instability
is worshiping perfection
as I unravel


*

Lively love
Shapely sound
Homely heart
