lilac blooms
a memory –
once we dreamed
together
making plans
holding hands
far more
than just this time
as moments come
promise held
the truth
of everafter
bears my weary soul
to sleep
each night
. . .

inI have bartered
with the darkness –
wrapped myself in light
courting with shadows
– rolled beyond the hands
of night
I have loved
when there was nothing
worth surrender
to confess –
finding strength
to face another
calm to ease
my soul’s unrest
found a means
for moving onward
in search of destiny –
I have loved
and hesitated
for a truth
I couldn’t see
without remorse
for having wanted –
I was never far from home
I have waded
in the waters
cold and dark –
a lover’s stone
. . .

5 years, blessings, daddy, essential truth, life, love, memory, sometimes, spirit, there is no me without you, time
sometimes
the night feels bitter –
mornings
I can hardly move
the ache comes hard
til I would swear
there is no rest
for truth
but thoughts of you
the ties that bind
sustain a weary soul
such love
it changes everything –
becoming all
I know
. . .

inI shall wait
in this place –
where worlds fall together
will count every crest as a sigh
adrift on the currents –
of heron and gull
pulled by the wind
mourned
by the tides
I shall breathe in
the essence
of ten thousand stories –
old weathered sailors
long linen sails
I shall watch
from this moment
where nations have crumbled
waiting on love
to prevail
I shall watch
from the dunes
as midday surrenders
as the sun gathers tears
from the sea
drunk from the swirling
of Orion’s cup –
eternity turned
home to me
. . .

home, life, love, mystery, storyteller, time, wonder, writing in the dark
when the mountains
succumb to the weight
of their worries
and rivers return
to their source
when the sun stays aloft
in wait for her moon
will I have forsaken
the story of us
when all becomes one
I will be you –
and far in the night
you’ll ache
as I do
when crickets forget
the reason they sing
and tides revert
to the sea
I’ll sleep through the winter
with hope
for the spring
I’ll watch every star
realign –
awaiting a memory
of me
. . .

from the coming back
for going ~
for lessons learned between
for lives that never knew
where grace has been
let these
these mortal yearnings –
flow as sand before the grail
as words survived the falling
another soul to tell
will then
the fond aroma
of a meadow fresh with bloom
fill my heart with longing –
my breath with
sweet perfume
lest I plead myself
another ~
or declare a final truce
to come when spring is over
and I’ve forgotten you
