Literary (Submission): Love Phenomenology




Manuel Dy’s
Love Phenomenology
Said love that is definite
And is assumed to be infinite.

Immortality implied
In the hearts that abide
In the practice, not talk,
Of two hearts unblocked.

The sacredness of love,
If left from thereof
Is the greatest tragedy,
An emotional bankruptcy.

Literary: Rest




Rest,
As though you’ve walked a million miles
Through valleys and forests and city streets
Lie down and rest your aching feet.

Rest,
As though you’ve solved all mortals’ questions
Concerning existence in life after being dead
Lie down and rest your aching head.

Rest,
As though you’ve battled the world’s warriors
Each carrying swords and clubs and axes
Lie down, and rest until the morning rays come.

Literary (Submission): Lists




Everyone at some point had a specific list
Of what they wanted in a lover.
Some looked for bright eyes, sound mind,
Some, a sense of humor, a soft heart.

I was a person with a list
Of things I wanted in a lover.
I looked and looked and looked,
But love never looked back.

I followed that list and looked at people,
Looked all around at different folks.
I stared into their eyes, investigated minds,
Cracked jokes and inspected hearts.

Then you came along.
And I had a list in my head that I’ve thought so hard on,
About what I wanted in a person that I wanted to fall in love with.
But you shredded that list, demolished it beyond repair.

You are someone,
I didn’t think could exist,
And didn’t know I was looking for.

Literary (Submission): A Heavy Night




(what used to be,
what once was)
Your touch of petals,
Light from you emitted
In the cloudless nights.
I sought out your gaze,
The world heeded my wish,
I let the gods look down on us.
(i let our doubts consume us)

(i see the caution)
Your eyes become streams
Our hearts ache on the forest floor.
I reach for you,
I count to three.
Out of my limbs’ reach,
You turn to dust.
(as you leave,
you don’t say goodbye)
