PHANTOM OF THE SOUL

   What a carnival was it, a pure delight of all

senses

the whole days and nights long, most mesmerizing

to the thunderous tunes of a heavenly symphony

of the Sun's rays followed by displays from

the stars

   What a carnival was it, endless music and dance

on our motherly Earth and in the fatherly Heavens

and what we didn't know on far away beautiful

planets

in different parts of the Universe, where life

flourished

   What a carnival was it, from a Danish Fastelavn 

via the outburst of joy and dance in Rio de Janeiro 

to the Carnival of Venice, a masquerade with

masks

from Bauta and Arlecchino masks, to Zanni masks

   What a carnival was it, all stars danced with

frenzy

and the symphony of the skies played days and

nights

the greatest musical masterpieces of all times

from Beethoven to Mozart, to Bach, to Dostojevsky

   What a carnival was it, all the phantoms together

Phantom of the Day and Phantom of the Night

Phantom of the Opera and Phantom of the Music

Phantom of Life, of Heart, of Desire, of Love

   What a carnival was it, with Phantom of the Soul

taking stage finally, the phantom of my own soul

scintillating as never before to the stunning rhythms

of the skies passing far above my dreaming head

   What a carnival was it, me singing and dancing

all the day and all the night, and again, and again

The Phantom of the Soul, of my own sparkling soul

singing most to the tunes of the heavenly symphony

Love

   Must I be Shakespeare to express my love

one which was greater than life

seeming to last forever, everlasting

   We had it so good, enjoying each other

friends and lovers, or lovers and friends

difficult to say what was first, or both at once

   Our love was the Sun splashing us brightly

and the shimmering stars at night

sending us kisses of love incessantly

   Our love were people smiling at us

wishing us all the goodwills of the world

and we ourselves, united in each other

   Everything was in place, rightfully and godly

rivers of honey, seas of boundless beauty

biodiversity serving us as we serving her

   But when you went away one day from me

with no goodbye, no a word of farewell

it was the end of the world for me, Romeo alike

   Stars crashed down on Earth the following night

and I was swept away by the high seas

a castaway on the ocean, in its full storm

   I was myself a bottle with a message inside

saying I love you till the end of the world

the bottle filled with the tears of my despair

Aphrodite, Aphrodite

   Aphrodite, Aphrodite 

amaranthine Aphrodite 

You, the queen of a paradise

not yet lost, the tropic islands of Pacific

Aphrodite, Aphrodite 

the shine of love, pulsating heart

not hiding your iridescent splendors

with a heavenly ring on your finger

Aphrodite, Aphrodite 

You're greatest than life

a nature of absolute purity

Oh, Aphrodite, Aphrodite 

how not to come, visit you

and stay on your bosom

how not to enjoy your celestial presence

in the splashing rays of the Sun !!

   Like enigmatic Aphrodite 

in a paradise of Pacific islands

Like most precious emerald stone

on the finger of lady Earth

gifted to her by the Sun, her lover

and jealously looked upon

by the starry Sun's cousins

Like a Highway to Heavens !! 

   Like a set of planetary flowers

on the table of lady Earth

like a flowery set of stars

in the Milky Way Galaxy

or somewhere else

in the infinite Universe

Like a Highway to Heavens !! 

   Lovers, just come onto the bosom 

of this goddess of purity, Aphrodite

Lie on her golden sands

shining in the Sun with so many hues

like diamonds and ambers

like pearls disappearing

in the waters of Pacific

Lovers, look with outmost wonder 

at all those coral reefs

emerging here and there 

Aphrodite's best attributes

shine, life and wild beating heart

Lovers, be a witness of a paradise

existing yet on planet Earth 

till the doomsday scenario 

when our goddess Aphrodite

will plunge back

in the depths of the ocean

irrevocably

if nothing is being done

to stop the global warming 

   Like enigmatic Aphrodite 

in a paradise of Pacific islands

Like most precious emerald stone

on the finger of lady Earth

gifted to her by the Sun, her lover

and jealously looked upon

by the starry Sun's cousins

Like a Highway to Heavens !! 

   Like a set of planetary flowers

on the table of lady Earth

like a flowery set of stars

in the Milky Way Galaxy

or somewhere else

in the infinite Universe

Like a Highway to Heavens !!

   Oh, Aphrodite, Aphrodite 

the divine, effervescent beauty 

Oh, Aphrodite, Aphrodite 

the most scintillating nature

Oh, the pristine Pacific islands

the amazing gifts from God 

Oh, Aphrodite, Aphrodite 

my ethereal soul, my shining life 

my deep love, my desiring heart

Aphrodite, Aphrodite, Aphrodite .... 

Gone with the wind

   It's soul to soul, a message filled with love

no need to send it by post, my dearest babe

cos you are my only love greater than life

never to be forgotten, my Shakespearean drama 

   Do you remember all those sweet nights

under the heavenly canvas woven with stars

shimmering us to the rhythm of a music

the music of love, as great as that of Mozart 

   Do you remember all those fresh mornings 

when we had woken up to the symphony

the symphony of love from all those sunrises

every time with yet another palette of hues

   Do you remember all those warm evenings

when we held each other heartily in our arms

and kissed passionately to the very tunes

of the cosmic philharmonic of the sunsets

   Do you remember all those times together

round the clock and round the year upon year

when we were entwined in eternal love

and immune from all the dramas of the world

   One day the stars crashed on Earth violently

although still there on the heavenly canvas

and you were nowhere to be seen around

gone with the wind, never again to be seen

Seven Heavens

   Look at the lonely man at the seaside

standing in the waters of the Pacific Ocean

with hands brought up to the high sky

singing an elegy to a woman he loves

   ' Oh, darling, you were my Seven Heavens

at home, on our beloved planet Earth

and in the far away infinite Universe

   You were my shining royal celestial dome

a pearl as sparkling as the Sun's rays

beaming at us from the very blue sky

   You were my twilight rays at dawn and dusk

streaming through gaps in celestial clouds

and forming aureole crowning your head

   You were a celestial sphere of outmost beauty

with air scattering blue sunlight through

bathing us both in our love's adventures

   You were my only love greater than life

which one day disappeared behind the stars

far too far for me to reach you for now '

   The man stopped singing and dropping a tear

he threw himself into the ocean waves

seeming to be hard like asphalt of a street

Nothing could be seen for a long while

as only rhythmic symphony of the ocean waves

Heavenly Embrace

Children of Universe

   A handsome man with a blond shag and a hat

in his hands

kneeled in a chapel alongside a busy highway

He looked at enormous image of the Holly Virgin

and having her as a witness he prayed aloud

fervently, with dampened eyes and a drop of tear

expressing his outmost love to a woman he seemed

to have lost

Images of all the good times he had with her

swirled through his mind like fast moving winds

   ‘ I am your hunter of stars, no red lights can stop

me

a hunter catching most beautiful, youthful stars

and placing them on a starry necklace, a symbol

of love

to shine on your neck looking like that of a ballet

swan

a necklace with the emerald alike sparkling cosmic

rays

being a symphony of all love we have expressed

so far

a theatrical play Romeo and Juliet alike, full of

drama

a heavenly comedy as much, with plentiful of

carefree laugh

   You are my virgin of all times I am falling for

rising like a phoenix any time I think of you

towards the Nevada skies high above the Silver

State 

disappearing then somewhere there among stars

I am a hunter of stars indeed, my darling, raging

on fire

and I shall find you one day and won’t let you go

even if I had to fly through the fiery starry balls

and into the abyss alike Black Hole, risking

entrapment

   We are children of the Universe, you and me,

forever

you a woman, me a man, longing to each other

Perhaps you are gone for now, you my Big Bang

but I don’t believe a second you won’t come back

and I shall see you back coming to me with

a lightning

cos we are destined to each other, sooner or later

I believe it and I pray for it, here in this Chapel of

God

here, before Face of Our Lady, the most holly of

all

   It is a quiet calm after the thunderstorm right

now

and only rain is sipping still, sounding a beat of

music

to the Beethoven's Appassionata in Ohio skies

and I was just dancing in the rain knowing you

shall watch

before I came into this Chapel of God to pray

No, there shall never be rivers in the wasteland

but phosphorescent harvest for both of us

cos we are children of Universe in the glory of

love

   Yes, I am a hunter of the stars for you, my

darling

on my starship to the very ends of the Universe

seeking you till I shall find you, with a thunder

gifting you with a necklace and rings of stars,

diamond alike

lettin' the nights and days roll like in a ballet

musical

The Phantoms of the Ghost shall return to their

caves, indeed 

Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah, sing the chorus of

angels

sing the elegy of a man loving a woman most

dear to his heart !!

   I am your painter and a photographer with

a silver beard

portraying all your angelic charms with my heart

as if you were a woman with a harp and a trumpet

in your hand

a violin, a saxophone and a synthesizer at your side 

sending sweetest ever music of angelic dimensions

through the masterful 3D canvas of the sky

and catching on the way all the sensual tastes of

any witnesses

sending us plentiful kisses and wishes of the best

   Come, come back to me, shine like angel you are

shatter me, put me on fire, let me dance the way

you love

cos we are really destined to each other, a ballet of

love

and you shall realize it sooner or later, our ballet of

life

You had ascended thunderously like a fiery phoenix 

and you shall descend triumphantly like a phoenix

Together again for all times to come, my darling 

cos we are children of Universe, united in sweet

love ‘

   A tear dropped yet again from his dampened

eyes

which he closed momentarily to suppress his

emotions

He felt someone came up and kneeled next to him

It felt as if a whirlwind of mysterious air danced

a tango

the tango of love he used to dance with the woman

he loved

He opened his eyes and could not believe what

he saw

his beloved woman alike Holly Virgin was kneeling

side by side

and looked at him lovingly, knowing she came

home

   They kissed passionately each other in a way

lovers do

said farewell to Saint Mary in the chapel, the

holiest of all

and holding each other heartily entwined in their

arms

went outside to a red colored, fiery Lamborghini

They got in and drove up the highway towards

Rocky Mountains

and the Colorado skies embracing the mountains

They, the hunters of stars, woven of their love

They, the children of Universe, finally united in

love

American Skies

   Have you ever seen so many wonders ?

Snowy Mount McKinley under the Alaska skies

Mount Saint Elias, majestic Rocky Mountains 

Wildcat Mountain of White County in Georgia

and all those grandiose skies above them

from British Columbia to New Mexico, so different

and as far as the Oregon and Idaho skies

Utah and Arizona skies as well, rainbow alike

mirroring nature as if the world were Amazonia

only

a wishful thinking but yes, just stand for nature !!

   Babe, my babe, you're my glory, glory of love

Have a great ride, our dreams must come true

rock the day, rock the night, shoot for stars

We're furious and fast with a need for speed

with a need for love even more, our glorious love

Ride, ride fast across our beloved America

and love me tender, my babe, oh, glory of love !!

   We're camping for a while in Grand Canyon

at the side of the Colorado River in Arizona

Nights are splashed with shimmering stars

days showing skies playing a heavenly music

to the tunes of Chopin's polonaises and waltzes

Skies differ from the very blue to rainbow alike

constantly on the move, slower or faster, rhythmic

Numerous hawks adding to this their own music

and of course we ourselves, in our spasms of love

which fly up the sky like those hawks are doing

   Babe, my babe, you're my glory, glory of love

Have a great ride, our dreams must come true

rock the day, rock the night, shoot for stars

We're furious and fast with a need for speed

with a need for love even more, our glorious love

Ride, ride fast across our beloved America

and love me tender, my babe, oh, glory of love !!

   We're leaving yet for another long ride

through vast spaces of American land

as always under the magic and magnetic skies

with all their splendid repertoire of music

from Chopin to Beethoven's Appassionata

from a country music to a modern pop & rock

Days are a ride, nights are passionate love

Join us whoever you are and as a reward

you shall join the stars on the nightly sky

as yet another star, perhaps the brightest one

   Babe, my babe, you're my glory, glory of love

Have a great ride, our dreams must come true

rock the day, rock the night, shoot for stars

We're furious and fast with a need for speed

with a need for love even more, our glorious love

Ride, ride fast across our beloved America

and love me tender, my babe, oh, glory of love !!

   Traveling all the way from fabulous California 

to magic New Jersey perhaps, we don't care

bathing lovingly in the Sun on the way

with our car speeding on the speedway

under American skies tributing Stars and Stripes 

from Idaho via Nebraska to the Florida's skies

Sleeping yet under the great Oklahoma skies

and the Mississippi skies, catching stars

staying overnight under so many other skies

Finally arriving in Miami, basked in the Sun

   Babe, my babe, you're my glory, glory of love

Have a great ride, our dreams must come true

rock the day, rock the night, shoot for stars

We're furious and fast with a need for speed

with a need for love even more, our glorious love

Ride, ride fast across our beloved America

and love me tender, my babe, oh, glory of love !!

Carpathian Skies

   The day belonged to the majestic Carpathian

mountains 

and the marvelous skies embracing them, the

Carpathian skies

Mesmerizing and enigmatic beyond anything to

say

fabulous to a highest degree, God's phenomenal

creation

The skies were azure blue, not one even grey cloud

to be seen

This vast ocean of blue expanses was embraced

brotherly

by countless symphonic rays from the godlike Sun

Devine music of the skies above the Carpathian

mountains 

breathtaking, a heavenly music of the Phantom of

the Day

   I was tramping through mountain ranges the

whole day

feeling united with the nature and her godlike

proximity

It was a world in itself, a bewildering wilderness

of the nature

all those mountain lakes, flowers one could never

see elsewhere

wild animals seen from time to time, even the

brown bears

amazing display of the divine Carpathians in all their

royal dominion

From time to time I looked around curiously for

something else

something what I heard from the jovial local

mountaineers

to whom nothing here was alien, everything in

their scriptures

   Any time soon I should find a castle hidden in

those mountains

deep in their shadow, the castle of Dracula Vlad

Ţepeş himself

the enormously blood thirsty king of all vampires

in one person

The stories were the prince turned vampire was

still present 

and active at nights as centuries ago, more so with

passing time

the prince who lost his beloved princes some

centuries ago

in suspicious and very gruesome circumstances,

which enraged him

to such a degree he turned into a vampire in

a supernatural way

and ever since then he was on a killing spree, out

of a sheer rage 

never to be satisfied enough, falling for fresh blood

from virgins mainly

   I have returned to my camping quite late, feeling

a bit a colder air

a starlit night was already fully blown like some

angelic beauty

or even like Marilyn Monroe in her dress blown up

in the wind

before a crowd of frenzy photographers, dancing

like some devils

luckily without a trace of them here, on the bosom

of nature

What a night it promised to be, under the

Carpathian skies 

with all the luminously shimmering stars on the

curtain of Heavens

in gentle gust of warm winds, wolves and bears

hidden from sight

in the darkness of the quiet night, sometimes

perhaps seen ghostly

With my tent, my table with candles, a small

campfire next

What else did I need ? Yes, a woman, a muse of

these mountains !! 

   I had a delicious late supper on the table which

I consumed 

like if I were an enormously excessive gourmand

while the small flames of my candles danced in the

soft wind

not strong enough to get them snuffed out, a

dance of the flames

I don't know what happened then, there was a

momentary darkness

as if I lost my consciousness or were kept in

blackness

The next sequence was simply thrillingly unearthly,

supernatural

there sat both, Satan himself and God Almighty

at the table

Satan's eyes showed endless abyss with wild fires 

ten thousands more powerful than nuclear

explosions

or even Big Bang supernovas at vast galactic spaces 

This horror alike abyss must certainly have been

the Hell

   God's eyes showed the Heavens, of infinite

calmness

and infinite spaces of all Universes, known and

unknown

though gathered completely within Him, God

Almighty

the Creator of all the Universes, of Infinities upon

Infinities

Why did he then tolerated Satan, the devil of

devils? 

Well, perhaps He had His unfathomable design,

His plan

   - ' You're mine. ' - Satan said wryly to me,

aggressively

I felt instantly burning myself madly out of fear

of fears

What have I done Satan wanted me? I was a

decent person

I've never harmed anyone, never cheated, why

then ?

   - ' Not in my life ! Never ever !! ' - I suddenly

heard a shout 

I was stunned but as much God and Satan

themselves

An intensive source of light, tennis ball shaped,

jumped 

out of my chest and bounced onto the table

I realized this neutron alike ball of intensive light 

was nothing else as my soul, my beloved soul, my

defender !!

   - ' You're not to decide this ! ' - Satan reposted

angrily. 

Bundle of hellish fires flushed out of his eyes,

nearly catching my soul

But then unexpectedly he managed to hit my soul 

which bounced all the way towards the

neighboring mountains

only to be caught by God's invisible strings alike

the ones 

used by Spiderman and brought back onto the

table

   - ' Neither you ' - God Almighty said calmly not

even looking at Satan

and extended His hand to my soul. She bounced

happily on God's hand

   - ' You think so ?! ' - Satan reposted yet again,

but one could see 

he wasn't so sure of himself when dealing with

God

   - ' Yes, I think so ' - was God's firm and

definitive answer. 

He let my soul to bounce back onto the table,

somehow rejuvenated

   - ' I don't understand, what is it all about ? ' -

I murmured fearfully

afraid to be looking straight at God and His

adversary

What was most surprising God Almighty just

laughed

and all the stars on the Heavens' skies scintillated

at the same time

   - ' It's nothing to do with you, Thaddeus, on

my side. ' - God said. 

   - ' I just loved to be present in this scenery of

the Carpathians 

   - ' Why then Satan's here, at this table ? ' - my

soul asked 

She did it courageously knowing God was her

loving Father

   - ' Yes, I know he had bad intentions. This is why

he is here ' 

God answered my soul and then turned patiently

to me

   - ' You see, Thaddeus, you were looking for

Dracula

at least you've been thinking of him. Satan's his

best friend '

What could I answer about this revelation, so clear

now to me ?

   - ' Thank you, God Almighty ' - I just said but felt

relieved 

God allowed me to smile to Him and even gifted me

with His smile

The next what I remembered were my candles

snuffing out 

one after another one while the stars were

shimmering as always

This time it was the symphony of the Phantom

of the Night

FLAMES OF LOVE

   Look at those two teenagers quarreling with

each other

on the 5th Avenue of New York City, full of

passerby's

One doesn't have to be a magician or someone in

the field

to know they love each other beyond anything to

say

It feels as if all the rays from the Sun filled their

bodies

unable to escape, imprisoned within their bodies

for good

chained even, burning them vindictively from within

Why then they quarrel with each other so impulsively

instead of embracing and kissing the way lovers do ?

   Oh, flames of love, scintillating flames of love, wild

burning

always reaching a big bang after a big bang, never

expiring

rocking one's mind, one's body, one's soul, rocking

us all

Oh, eternal flames of love, one's and our enigmatic

treasures

rock us, flames of love, to the most pulsating

rhythms

of the symphony of love, the world's greatest

orchestra

   Look at those two teenagers now, what a

metamorphose !

They are embracing each other, kissing wild, with

urge

There must have been an enchanted wand at work

or something else one doesn't know but they

themselves

Look closer and you shall see the imperishable

flames

burning wild in them, turning them into ghostly

beings

consuming them like nothing else really could do

The power of flames of love, the power of

almighty nature

as God us created so we are, subjects of our urges

   Oh, flames of love, scintillating flames of love,

wild burning

always reaching a big bang after a big bang, never

expiring

rocking one's mind, one's body, one's soul, rocking

us all

Oh, eternal flames of love, one's and our enigmatic

treasure

rock us, flames of love, to the most pulsating

rhythms

of the symphony of love, the world's greatest

orchestra

   Look at this two teenagers now, again in

disagreement

Shall they ever learn to be more responsible, sharing

their love ?

Love is not just some urges from within your body

love is especially a set of flames from within your

mind

Love is like the experiments in the Large Hadron

Collider

which resulted in a discovery of the ghostly but real

Higgs boson

Love is thus our Higgs boson, not yet fully understood

what demands a constant understanding and a search

for better

Love is the essence of our very being, God' greatest

gift

   Oh, flames of love, scintillating flames of love, wild

burning

always reaching a big bang after a big bang, never

expiring

rocking one's mind, one's body, one's soul, rocking

us all

Oh, eternal flames of love, one's and our enigmatic

treasure

rock us, flames of love, to the most pulsating rhythms

of the symphony of love, the world's greatest orchestra

Happy Family

Final Reckoning

   ' It seems I'm rising to paradise on shiny days

but at nights I'm falling down cruel eye of abyss

Days are beautiful, I'm enjoying the best of life

nights are awful, I'm screaming in a horror house

Why? I completely don't understand why

please explain this to me, my dear enchanter '

   She was sitting on a bench in a crowded park

overlooking a splendid, man made lake

with purely white swans having their daily joys

Next to her sat older woman, a New York's gypsy

with cards in her hands, a cigarette in her mouth

being busy in predicting a fate of her customer

   Unlike the older woman in fancy clothes

the younger one was most pretty, modern dressed

with a face radiating rays of youthfulness

and her body, Aphrodite alike, radiating the same

The younger woman seemed to be concerned

unsure of what her fate shall be, a nervous Nellie

   ' My dear young lady, your life right now

is more like a sweet calm before a storm

Expect turbulent times to come quite soon

ruthless thunderstorms following thunderstorms

Your love one and your friends shall be gone

You shall be left alone, a cactus on the prairie '

   The young woman thanked the gypsy woman

stood up and went away, her mind on fire

She wandered for hours, crying inwardly 

The Central Park seemed to have lost its lustre

All spirits gone, all dreams burnt to ashes

her soul on the verge of being gone as well

   She was a lonely woman among happy faces

lost in her inner despair, no purpose of life anymore

but then she remembered a thinker she once met

He said then: ' The final reckoning is what you want '

She smiled to herself, looked at people around

Light of happiness was back with her in all of its shine

New York, New York

   Look at Manhattan, the Center of the Universe

fabulous beyond anything to say, breathtaking

the hub of the Broadway theatre district

among the yellow cabs and Manhattan limousines

   Look at Central Park, the New York's lungs

and the godlike splendor of the nature there

emanating from all corners and at all seasons

in the very heart of marvelous New York City

Look at those millions of people, proud Americans

descendants from all corners of the globe

doing their best to be part of the American Dream

Oh, God bless America, God bless the whole world !!

See happy and carefree kids in Central Park

playing with the plentiful rays from the Sun

and with palette of many shadows from Earth

in the full blown triumphant Summer around

and magnificent scents generated by the trees

What a splendid playground, a symphony it is

a heavenly music to the tunes of the Sun's harp

and yes, the Sun's trumpet, Sun's violin

the Sun's saxophone, all the divine Sun's tools

a music larger than life, at kids' hands

a pearl in the crown of America, indeed

kept safely in the claws of the American hawk

Look at all those busy people of New York yet

Oh, my babe, stay with me, love me tender

dance to the tunes of House and Techno !!

   We're perpetual travelers seeking more

riding our car faster than wild winds do

speeding up on the American highway

in a spirit of freedom and love above all

we, the hunters of stars, children of love

   Oh, babe, I am your eye of tiger, loving you

I am your eye of a lion, caring for you

I am your eye of eagle, singing for you

I am your eye of giraffe, watching for you

Oh, my babe, stay with me, love me tender

dance to the tunes of House and Techno !!

   We're riding fast towards the Oregon skies

spreading over the Cascade Mountains 

in addition to the divine Pacific coastline

Stopping at Californian bays on the way

and splashing ourselves with Pacific waters

   Oh, babe, I am your eye of tiger, loving you

I am your eye of a lion, caring for you

I am your eye of eagle, singing for you

I am your eye of giraffe, watching for you

Oh, my babe, stay with me, love me tender

dance to the tunes of House and Techno !!

   So many wonders underway, all singing for us

Mount Elbert under the blue Colorado skies

Whealer Peak under rainbow alike Nevada skies

All cheering us, forming a symphony of love

for us, the travelers in love, the hunters of stars

   Oh, babe, I am your eye of tiger, loving you

I am your eye of a lion, caring for you

I am your eye of eagle, singing for you

I am your eye of giraffe, watching for you

Oh, my babe, stay with me, love me tender

dance to the tunes of House and Techno !!

Infinity of Love

   Ninety year old man with silvery hair was sitting

on a terrace

of New York's Liberty Cafe, overlooking the

magnificent harbor

Opposite him sat a woman as old as he in

fashionable clothes 

She was actually talking vividly to a lady at a nearby

table

   He was deeply lost in thoughts, his pendulum of

time

unaware of the mosaic of people sitting next to him

neither of the colorful set of the hurrying passerby's 

perhaps knowing it quite well time and tide wait for

no man

   Yet yesterday, my darling, we met the first time,

he thought

we danced a whole night, laughed a lot, having

our time of life

There were lots of carefree young people around

us as we were

dancing madly to all sorts of songs, a brilliant disco

night

   Yet yesterday we had our first kiss of angelic

dimensions

on the steps of your house, at morning's farewell

a long kiss which seemed to have lasted infinitely

despite just a few minutes, with our hearts frozen

of happiness

   Yet yesterday we made a maddening trip across

America 

our most cherished, beloved
