notionsofflightlonging sleeps
in soft percale –
with tiny yellow flowers
a shade of thin
are threads already known

as paths
beyond this lowly state –
counted more by grace
life come round
to living us again

as sewn beneath a ruffle
of gentle disregard
for times
we let –
and times we couldn’t go

held before the daylight
wrapped in yesterdays
– quilted patch
of love me more
goodbyes

screen door
opened wide enough
to let all reason fly
the universe we
gathered –
in sheets
of soft percale

echoes

to wander once again
to my beloved
Shangri-La
where memories
of a voyage are still sketched
within imaginary fields
of lavender orchids
notebook in hand
impatient this becoming –
to pinpoint sweet names on the map
places where I may calmly dream
of exile months
between poet and muse
places to wander desolate paths
to collect
all the beauty
that will heal my soul
of its earthly temptations
at last
showing my ghosts
that purple ink
on faded pastel paper
is my own power
tethered by eyes and ears
to a world –
far beyond the heavens
and the words

. . .

reclaimed

I must whisper carefully
else my brokenness belie –
my heart will not be silenced
by the murmur of goodbye

I miss your tender lines
your poems of the morrow
of truth – a balm forgotten
to the weeping sighs of sorrow

sweet prisoner remember
e’er november winds remain
with the telling of forever –
every season passed again

time may still this longing
of promise without measure
a moment so endearing –
so carefully I whisper

. . .

how fragile
our returning –
for time to cease to be
where sorrows
wash an ocean to the sea
patterns of remembrance –
where moments fell
between
love was ever meant
to be
this way

as shells
along an ancient path
some distance from the shore
broken as the sailor
wandered home
tiny bones –
as silver fins
are written to each leaf
stories of a journey
never known

hopebuds
soft as a flannel
of redbud and sage
innocence found
by the coming of age
by the breath of blackberries
burst on the vine
and stained by the memory
– a passing of time
into seasons forsaken
by change
unforeseen
as a blanket of winters
traded for green

here

of a moment
I’m uncertain –
where choices came undone
days dissolved to years
so close –
this far

of somewhere else
forgotten by –
the distance worn between
will – no more forsaken
than the memory
of ways –

and houses where
the chimney fell
twice that awful winter
windows broken
boarded
by the want to gather in

and huddled we
together
in the space
where secrets fell
trading lies
for mysteries
stories fitting still

to loving curves
shadows pulled away
by evermore
– murmurs

of redemption
echoes burning bright

warmth –
a fragile trading
of all we came
to love

. . .

stirring

from deep ocean blue clarity
light allows curiosity to float
to a place of calm and nothingness
after the luring of promises
by so many others unaware
of the marvels held
within their own hearts…
looking long at the sun’s rays
salted and belly offered skywards
maybe the jealous moon
will be the chosen guide
into the excited commotion
of a common marketplace
where among other offerings
hope is for sale within the fleeting smile
of a green-eyed jewelry vendor
convinced that a woven leather bracelet
is the object necessary
for quiet meditation –
to cross the boundary
between suffering
and illumination

. . .

on distant plains
a steady thunder –
black the haze
of rolling smoke
pounding verse
of wind and longing
wisdom from the past
rewrote

as solitude
the lone intruder –
witness come
with feathers bright
loving heart
of fear and honor –
casting spells
by firelight

. . .

stillIam

sweet the flush
of destinies
whene’er the world grows calm
as there beneath
each tender tree –
eternities are known
tho burdened not
by stories left –
forsaken by the truth

would still the heart
from beating –
here alone

frail the myth
of magical –
sacred paths revealed
with worry not for sorrows
washed away –
breezes blow
across into
the proof of love’s refrain
faith has come
another dream
to save

. . .

somewherestill

as far
from my memory –
a you I don’t know
is willed into life
by the lure of a flame
wrapped in illusion
of a touch long ago –
moments
no longer the same

as a partial
remembrance –
of lives passed away
love we were hoping to keep
one more day –
folded as pages
to yesterday’s dream
margins
surely to fade

saving for none
the promise of more
than a once
curs’ed vapor –
left burning before
in the recess of always
where names
have been lost –

a time
before taking
of breath
we forgot
