Indelible Marks

Unforgettable words will be

Moments shared be memorable

Struggling much to erase

But marks are indelible

Thought this case be first

Knew happened with everyone

Necessary to teach us

Sweet but bitter lesson

Passage of time fades it

And a single sight enlightens

How to dim that mark?

When each moment brightens.

Love and Physicality

How can love be permanent

if it's limited to the physical plane.

Where is that spirituality

if inner beauty for disdain.

People fall in love

call it intense and sensuous.

But what after gratification

need change as it's tenacious.

Everyone knows the reality

but that's a dream castle

Not easy to stop ourselves

even if it's the whole hassle

Difficult for hermits on mountains

escaping this lustful desire.

But for common beings

falling in it is certain.
