She asked how he pictured heaven.
He responded that pomegranates were his world -
a metaphoric memory of breaking fruit
together with friends,
the unity of differing flavors and styles.
Ordering exotic food from the Middle of everywhere East,
he enjoyed a global experience despite limited funds.
To his desert island, he brought three red spheres,
staining his fingers,
deserting a pile of crimson seeds.
Her disappointed answer found no joy in his concepts.
Her hypothetical islands contained only him
and her.
He explained heaven is only an expansion of your happiest moments
from the life you create on earth.
You are my pomegranate. My heaven is you.

The Doctor walked into the office with a smile that needed to be accompanied by a pipe organ's wailing. "Smile, it's only temporary," he said to me with another refrain in D minor.

Gazing into the sky
Looking into the stars
Thinking about how stars are tears from the Gods...
Heaven- such an unattainable place.
When I get there who will I see?
Will I cry and my tears turn into stars?
Hopefully I have time to contemplate.

holy fuck this is not what I thought it would be like.
no white lights.
no golden gates.
urban ghettos spinning heavy metal-
heavy D lyrics on top of these clouds.
Dying doesn't make you lose loud.

really 68 words said what i had to say

He saw heaven by the dashboard lights
On a 4 hour run to the coast
He knew what he was looking for was sitting where the moon and water brake to make mirror reflections of memories

He cursed fire at the sky and whispered to the stars when his voice went horse
Every square foot of heaven reverberated with his growl
Echoe’s of wishes unfulfilled
Waiting for him
