Since you’ve been gone
I’m avoiding words
Most of all poems
Can’t wrap my hand around a pen
And advocate the heavenliness of love
When I’ve been forcefully converted
To a sad poet by its forsaken desires

Pain
i breathe it in
soul-heartedly rejoice
soak in its turbulent waves
thankful for every ache
what a remembrance!
to know that i’m here
that i am still of this Earth
Finding Faith in Logic
So maybe I haven’t eaten since you left
And you’ve been gone for seven weeks
Though right now I’m trying to focus on
The mathematical side of things
Two negatives make a positive
Pregnant Infinite Connectivity
By Benjamin Grossman & Amber (DiosRaw)
In a world pregnant with temporary encounters, yet enteral knots, in a world that romanticises and philosophises the abstracts of next lives and alternative universes we dispose in the now.
Every second is some form of a small tomorrow, every passing moment part of the long, long past. The path to the future is paved with repetitions, whether light or dark.
Eternally knotted cyclical patterns betwixt the comedy and tragedy of every breath of air ever taken by souls; likewise every drop of water consumed yet synergised. If only I could take your hand and disseminate to you the Divine plan simultaneously existing in the eternal.
If only … we could samba through the bosom of the storms, cross the space between distance and time, shuck our stranger status, or baptize ourselves in patience’s perfume. Then perhaps we could return to our primordial states, remember the superiority of our ancient nonphysical forms.
In a parallel universe, ancients crouched side by side, chuckling that in some other life they are apart. Ancestral roots, the thread may stretch and tangle, yet never to break with elasticity pinging all order from chaos into being. My lips swerve with the rhythm of your lineage of words flowing through this vessel, the tongue caressing each morsel of wisdom whilst antiquated DNA rides the veins.
I connect to all existences through your umbilical cordage. You are the dawn of entanglements, the prelude to love, the one and only starting point; and I become inseparable from these essences by being enfolded in your spiritual domain.

Galaxies Across A Galaxy
By Benjamin Grossman & Ace
I am the birth of the Universe
Spiraling through my soul
I am a galaxy becoming whole
Beyond this life and evermore
A solar system of wombs
A star creating many homes
A heartland that eternally ascends
An emotion that will forever cleanse
The Universe echoing deeply in our veins
Our bodies free of restrains
Breaking through intrinsic chains
Becoming a galaxy’s avenue of many lanes
I am the birth of the Universe
All that flows and spins
A story with no beginning or end
I am a galaxy within
An internal grin
A destiny to begin
Another duet with the fantastic Ace! Make sure you check out her blog Fearless Free Soul.
Sweet Ink
By Benjamin Grossman & Bree Leto
There’s no denying the sweetness
When we share the body
Of a poem
Your words make my ink blush
Our fingers stroking the same lines
A teasing exchange of sugared phrases
Awakening our entwined imaginations
Every time we devour
Each other’s souls
Savoring new flavors
Created from our intimate flow
When we write like this
I need more than just letters
There’s something brewing beyond this sweet ink
Let’s put down these pens
Write on our bodies instead

Love’s Layers
By Benjamin Grossman & Ace
The mirror of my soul dissolves my flaws
While my heart’s vibration draws
Its inner handwriting breaks fear’s barricade
And together we dive deep into love’s cascade
A graceful night above
Our harmony raising the frequency
Auras ascend, we fly like a dove
On the light of constellations, soaring peacefully
Toward the bloom of time
This journey is an eternal climb
The roots of emotions
Are the bravest oceans
A magical connection
The creation of love’s reflection
We are one, an immortal team
Spinning through this life’s infinite dream
What a pleasure it was working with Ace! Make sure you check out her blog Fearless Free Soul. She’s always posting something that makes me feel better about the world.
My Midnight Sun
There are places in the world
Soaked in constant light
For days, weeks, or months without end:
The Land of the Midnight Sun
A time when sunset is sunrise.
Easily, my beloved, I can relate this back to you
Because when you’re by my side
I’ve never seen the night.

Three Things About Me
I was born on Saint Patrick’s Day.
I dislike driving
I love eating soggy cereal.
My Answers To Ace’s Questions
- What does freedom mean to you? Everything good. But, at same time, there can be a danger in having too much freedom. Freedom allows for choice, however. And life is about choices. You always have to make a choice. Even not choosing is a choice.
- What’s one thing you do without thinking? Sing.
- Favorite childhood memory? Going to Disney World.
- If the whole world could hear you for three words, what would you say? We a family.
- Do you think perception or belief comes first? Both. I think it changes from situation to situation and person to person. And I think this David Bowie lyric sums it up (“Word On Wing”): “Just because I believe, don’t mean I don’t think as well”.

Fighting A Different Battle
By Benjamin Grossman and Cassa Bassa
Two millennia ago
I would’ve cried
Stony tears
Like the stoics of legends
Today
For the injustices raging
Against shared truth
I scream in silence
Like a fallen knight
There are no more
Heroic battles
On a field of dirt and dust
Where men were once raised
To die for future honor
We hide behind
Neuro electro defenses
Attacking lives
Without sounding
The trumpet
Am I a departed
Clutching the white flag
Crippled by reality
Or my own fatal mind?
(This is part of a collaborative poetic effort between myself and Cassa Bassa. Make sure you check out her blog by visiting Flicker Of Thoughts. She’s one of my favorites to read!)
