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

are less frightening
since you

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?

Quantum (Uni)Verse #24

Pat Bertram — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 02:24:00 GMT

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.

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

is eternally beautiful

Quantum (Uni)Verse #21

Pat Bertram — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:56:00 GMT

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

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

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

Pat Bertram — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 05:40:00 GMT

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

Quantum (Uni)Verse #17

Pat Bertram — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 05:38:00 GMT

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

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

Pat Bertram — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 00:17:00 GMT

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

Pat Bertram — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 17:35:00 GMT

does eternity have a past
and will it have a future
or is there only a presence

Quantum (Uni)Verse #11

Pat Bertram — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 02:52:00 GMT

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

Pat Bertram — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:59:00 GMT

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

in the farthest reaches of Silence
where no one ever goes
Hope and Promise come to flower
and Expectation grows
