of places where you live –
none the more
than in my heart
with a window to the world
that is my dream

verses tied with pieces
of tomorrow’s wiser sun
as the fireflies came
crying to the sill –
begging me to go
beyond the wood

to mountains
brushed with ashes –
softly fell a whisper
was settled neath the porch
of standing still

for lifetimes (did I know)
when wished the brightest star
to bring you safely
to remember –
the destiny of thought
to bring you home –

the way of spring
of secret paths
worn into november
touch the same as breezes
wrapped a favored song –
as rain against the tin roof
of my soul –

laughter spinning stories
of a line or two we wrote –
before the storm
was settled in our bones

of all the places
you remain –
this one –
my longing stills
sometimes late at night –
I hear you sing

glass to wear ~

of fairytales
I’ve heard them say
there is no prince returning –
dare I let my braid
down by the wall –

where once (a summer)
there you stood
with nowhere else to wander
awaiting for our story
to unfold

remember how it all seemed
more (than we could
make it happen) –
and dreamed I once or twice
of far aways

castles (meant for merlin)
camelot of sorts –
bridges fell across
my evermore

closed my eyes
and gave a wish –
to stars beyond the dipper
lay me down –
give me glass to wear

let me sleep
ten thousand years
if there your kiss will find me
standing at the window
where you wait

same as I ~

in the canyon of my soul
you are echoes born of love
and secret told
for centuries anew –
as love remains a reason
for believing life is more
than sighs resolved
to catch the universe
there I know
and there are you –
the same as I within
a mystery repeating us
the place becoming now –
a road without an end
is just beginning
lilacs sing of magic
in the pines

kindred ~

touch in me
the friendship
that denied another life
and souls as we were passed
before this one –
waiting I would find you
in the kitchen by the sink
dreaming of another day
we loved

wishing well ~

came a thief
who took the mountain
took away the peaceful stream
gave a silver plated nickel –
to the beggar
for his dreams

took the ways for which we wandered
left us nothing for the fight
took the heart (was once so tender)
pulled it (pleading)
from the light

was a thief
who took of pardons –
spoke in tongues (we strained to hear)
promised wine (a crystal fountain)
somewhere far
(not far from here)

spoke of highways
thru the heavens –
told of trust beyond the veil
sold us courage from a bottle
jaded cup (a wishing well)

from those moments
came another –
one more chance to turn away
another dollar for our wishes
stars we loved –
at once betrayed

for the hope of more
than vision –
righteous want
for more than will
took the last of mortal conscience
lifetimes passed us –
standing still

came a thief
in prophet’s clothing –
golden robes (of fated sun)
took of breath –
the soul’s impression
left behind the empty one

beyond the place you tary
in the ribbons worn by pain –
and the scars I love
I kiss them in my dreams
you come to me
and I to you –
in perfect imperfection
to touch the words we’ve given
jasper wings
to know of north
you surely are –
home within my longing
as sparrows rush the night
and sense the way
the same as these
were given you –
hands to trace you backward
winds to sail
and I your name to hear
dream of me in fields of clover
call for me that way
and I shall walk on oceans
to your door
to lay against the crooked boards
that rise to give you reason
touched against the places
of your love

cleave my heart ~

had I strength
for understanding
what was meant of what was said –
had I courage (more demanding)
might I shed a tear instead
might I shatter
in submission –
plead my case to kinder ears
give of all (I have not answer)
what of truth has brought me here

the deepest night
deceives the shadows –
stardust falling from my hair
who was I (how could you know me)
a place of light
unnoticed there
dare I speak of breath so holy
let me not my faith deceive –
come the answers to the questions –
for moments still
as I believe

tis who I am –
the dreamer seeking
proof of love – the power to save
a gentle hand
(as I remember) –
beg me not to turn away
from that bright flame
within the sorrows –
taking more than I can give
blossoms once forgot (a garden)
grows beyond the will
to live

lay me down
without confession –
drive the nails where none can see
bite the tongue
if e’er shall utter –
there my name so tenderly
take the blood – take the telling
I shall not move
from this sweet gale
give me faith to overflowing
for one I knew
(I knew so well)

had I sense
to stay this mercy –
to raise my flag – at last
resigned
to cleave my heart
from all that matters –
and pledge my pen to hapless rhyme
verses meant to stay the ages
stretched between –
before and now
love endures (within my being)
as nothing less
would grace allow

They say ~

Who am I
they say (I am)
Whose name am I to wear
when given faith
to love again –
what truth shall I declare.

What hope (resolved)
shall find in me –
the place where love began –
and bring another
heartbeat
to song beneath my skin.

Immortal life
(as love endeared) –
let not for sorrows grieve
the place I am becoming –
beyond the truth
believed.

Who am I
they say (I am)
would welcome this
(my fate).
From realms unknown
I shall return –
as dreams to lie awake.

To place the sun
(was once my light)
and touch
my bliss to know –
of worlds of love
(at rest) between
the shadow and the soul

still ~

take of these
my open hands –
arms that held you close
save for life
remembered now –
and love beyond the soul
give me not to contradict
of choices to remain
as sun upon the mountain melts
to rainbows on the plain

as promise made
that I would love –
holds still within my breath
shall find another way to be –
beyond the course of death
betrayed the scourge of innocence
sleep I dare not choose
awake with me
eternally –
as love we shall not lose

there the rarest flower blooms –
from loving thoughts
have burst
blossoms wreath immortal skies
and tary not for thirst
as grace provides for each the same
fulfills their only need –
essence of the love we were
when planted first
the seed

bend me not
with promises
broken by the gate
or pierce my heart
with sonnets –
soundless beak against my bane
answer me with lullabies
and verses still to be
count the days
til coming back
finds no room to leave
linger as a poem
just before the night begins
else I be sworn to longing
and words
to write again
