Love Poem: The Bucket List

The Bucket List

The Bucket List

Things considering before the pail is fully on empty 

He ponders through travel brochures in his mind

Engages embraces envelopes the mantle of peace


Bungee jump Taj Mahal and Guernica safe in the bag

Umbilical chord from toxic relations dismembered

Cairo Grand Canyon Provence Blue Mosque rearranged

Kai is happy with memories battles poetry to be told

Enlightened he may not become darkness holds beauty

To halt pause and live in the moment requires no list


Leaving the strife for perfection behind one step at

Invaluable steps just for now and forever in cautious

Search for impermanence he wishes for soul to prevail

To make love on Kilimanjaro but the mountain is here
