all the fun in the world
can never be compared
to the happiness found
in a moment of laughter shared

In his love
I found gladness
And a splendid me.
Then with this thought
Came sadness:
But I'm not she.

Quantum (Uni)Verse #25
How can you feel joy
When I'm feeling so much sorrow?
Could it be
You're thinking of today
While I'm thinking of tomorrow?
When I'm feeling so much sorrow?
Could it be
You're thinking of today
While I'm thinking of tomorrow?
Quantum (Uni)Verse #24
I'm holding you in my thoughts,
Arms around a body I can almost feel.
Our hearts are beating as one,
And I cannot tell which of us is real.

Our hearts are beating as one,
And I cannot tell which of us is real.
Quantum (Uni)Verse #23
They came together
In the night.
"Sin! Sin!"
The people cried.
Nay, people,
How can you be so blind?
That was no sin
--But a prayer

a person who is becoming

Quantum (Uni)Verse #21
I loved you
and
you love me
and we lived happily ever after
for a while
until we
discovered
that love was fairy tale stuff
and fairy tales
are
never enough
and
you love me

sometimes I feel
the fleeting touch of your fingers
upon my soul
and then I know
we've spanned our loneliness
and this is love
the fleeting touch of your fingers
upon my soul
and then I know
we've spanned our loneliness
and this is love
Quantum (Uni)Verse #19
i want to tell you I love you
but my heart gets all tongue-tied
and the words just can't get through . . .

Quantum (Uni)Verse #18
of course
I want more
much much more
but even if I never saw you again
I'd still be content
with all that I've had
with everything you've given me
I want more

Quantum (Uni)Verse #17
The clock struck . . .
And in those few brief breaths
Before the last chime faded aswy
I lived a thousand years
And died at least a hundred deaths
And in those few brief breaths

Quantum (Uni)Verse #16
I think there once must have been
a book called love
but we've lost it
along with the fine art of reading
and all we have left
is the movie version

spring
when the snow is melting and the creek is rushing strong and fast and
a waterfall
is
born . . .
Quantum (Uni)Verse #14
a thought
is not
a single
isolated
and static
abstraction
but a continuous figuration without beginning or end
what we perceive
is a mere particle
momentarily stilled

i've found the rhythm of my life
but still the melody eludes me
and i don't know what the song is all about

Quantum (Uni)Verse #12
does eternity have a past
and will it have a future
or is there only a presence

Quantum (Uni)Verse #11
we've let our minds and souls
become so encrusted with triviality
that we've completely lost sight
of any greater reality --

Quantum (Uni)Verse #10
we thought our love would last
a thousand thousand years
but we were too young
and all we had to offer each other
were our loneliness and our fears

Quantum (Uni)Verse #9
in the farthest reaches of Silence
where no one ever goes
Hope and Promise come to flower
and Expectation grows
where no one ever goes
Hope and Promise come to flower
and Expectation grows
Quantum (Uni)Verse #8
i don't know
what love is
or who you are
or, for that matter,
who i am
so, even though i want to
how can i ever say
i love you

He was too realistic to believe in dreams
And too much of a visionary to accept reality
And this was his eternal hope
And his everlasting despair . . .

Quantum (Uni)Verse #6
If I should catch a chill
From running in the rain
At least I would know
It hadn't been in vain

Quantum Uni(Verse) #5
ours was no great love
but even so
whenever our eyes chanced to meet
we shared a sudden joy
but even so
whenever our eyes chanced to meet
we shared a sudden joy
Quantum (Uni)Verse #4
I'm just a beachcomber
gathering intriguing fragments
from cosmic sands
Quantum (Uni)Verse #3
I am alone in my universe
As you are alone in yours . . .
And when I hold you in my arms
I can sometimes touch your happiness
But your grief is light years away
As you are alone in yours . . .
And when I hold you in my arms
I can sometimes touch your happiness
But your grief is light years away
Quantum (Uni)Verse #2
thoughts of you
echo through my mind
like snatches of a favorite song
echo through my mind
like snatches of a favorite song
Quantum (Uni)Verse #1
Adolescence
or
First Love
I thought it was only a story
But now I find it's true --
You smile at me and I'm happy;
You ignore me and I'm blue.
