intome

poetry
keeps one more line
as folded bits of you
evidence
to graces
wearing through
cleaved apart my mystery –
held me until then
when last I knew
– once I’d be
again

guarded apprehension
solace works the same –
as years erased
were I
another flame –
sweat beneath the covers
wept aloud at times
for choices
gone the way
of useless rhyme

silently to wander
beyond the feel of light –
tis there
I hold my rest
and take my flight
beholding as to everything
some meaning
to discern –
how much of me
remains
for me to learn

. . .

curses
catch the sheets on fire
when chance
you swore to leave
broken
every plate I own
decided not to grieve

for the busted chair
the heavy heart –
weeds to crowd my soul
a bridge in need
of mending –
morning whispers
cold

as winter warned
the flame to die –
with promises of spring
ashes silt the corners
reminders –
every thing

of yesterdays
returned anew –
the choice made long ago
flowers bloom
in shades of smoke
– for reasons
I don’t know

. . .

Author’s Note:  I’ve been carrying this
picture around for almost three
years…..waiting for words
to wake me.

so ~

returningme
remembered me
to words remiss
and how it felt to speak
what bittersweet
reminders
haunt the tongue
echoes take forever
to find us here again –
whatever now we will
– in silence
comes

remember this
as I became –
the answer to a prayer
made one day
a lifetime more ago
remember me
forsaking all
you thought I might have been
would find you here
remembering
a time I loved you
so

. . .

days no longer mine ~

stillasIshallbehere

within this gift
that is
my heart –
the memory of soul
– of nights so dark
and days no longer mine
of times before
we dare forget
a place untouched by man
I knew you
as I know you –
now
again

within these words
are others fit
with sorrow
for the ways
lines are curled about
as ancient death
fellowship was broken
by truth we held apart
eternity we lost
within
a breath

. . .

whereIremain

in the still
before the light became
was there I knew you well
– was there
I found your place
and learned your name
remembered of forever
once promised
to return –
when falling
– we were falling
just the same

remember me to always
let me follow there
footprints in the sand
or on the sea
trust the wind
to keep us –
to moments made divine
as light
upon the waters
come to me

from here

stretched between
the buttons
of purple clover crown
scattered as the petals
yellow red
here am I
(remembered)
to these sweetly
fragile souls
take me
let me hurry not
ahead

the path into
where heaven sits
in silence with the sun
just beyond the reach
of yester night
tarry me a moment
yet –
let the waiting wait
will my soul to blossom –
as lovers
into light

. . .

holding still ~

immortalityreflection
has shown me
the way I was then –
how sweet this communion
with reason to prove
tied not to telling
another life lived
today
but a step
let me move

the way
is reopened –
as light to my path
warmed by the essence
of faraway dreams
fell into purpose
of destiny come –
to remind me of joy
of sorrows
between

what I know
what I don’t
shall recall of my days
passed
in the rush to reveal
something much bigger
than everything mine –
a light
was a flame
holding still

Author’s Note: Written as a result of conversations
with my students this morning. Direction seeks will with
the sight not to see.

shadowme

merciful
transgression
when I was but a girl
held in dreams
for nights before you knew
carried by the notion
pieces sworn to find –
the best
I was – a memory
of you

how strange
these lines
resolved of me –
before the sunlight fade
became of me
a shadow
by your door
recalled the first of kisses
the last of secrets told

 a whisper now –
so sweet the cry
for more

. . .

all I knew of heaven ~

for purpose
was I waiting –
flush against the sky
loved as one
another dream
of lifetimes passing by
washing down and over me –
caused my heart
to weep
an angel come
and all I knew of heaven
was his name
gathered me
to moments
without shame
the start of just beginning –
ageless as my soul
feathers floating
sorrows
down below

. . .

perfect any day ~

how many more
this one before –
this perfect any day
was offered me
the sun
became the night
returned the rain –
an ancient wind
to blow my body home
became to me a blessing
without name

of wonders come
within this one – a tear
a three leaf clover
a puddle not much deeper
than a grave
bury me
facing up
that I might see forever
that I might hear
this whisper
one more winter
to remain
