stars we counted on ~

birth of eternity, knowing, light, love, lovers, silence, stars, still

we were lanterns
caught in webs –
sparkled
with the dew
a righteous moon
made jealous
by the dawn
flames where wishes
landed –
near to places
once we lay
silence
falling stars
we counted on

we were sparks
within the heavens –
seeking love
we would
become

. . .

evermore came down ~

all I really know, always we begin, life, love, memory, moments, nature, time

was never yours
to carry
never mine to touch
the distance to forever
from a moment
neath the oaks –

a perfect afternoon
for falling

was not for me
to squander
your name upon my lips –
the taste
of sunday morning
on my tongue

was never meant
for whispers –
search the night for me
come before
the frost is
melt away

what we knew
was left for knowing
in every moment
we begin

. . .

of everything ~

all I really know, in this now, life, love, redemption, surrender, trust, truth

had i more of verse
than consequence
an offer
much refined
more than just
one kiss
another me

was waiting
recognition –
in the shadow
of a smile
a lifetime resurrected
by will
of destinies

had i more to gift
– of everything
these arms could ever hold
fortunes
spent before
you came
for me

. . .

a way I cannot find ~

a hand to hold, allowance, and still, essential truth, lives intertwined, love, no regrets

for moments there
sun bleached red
leaves were
falling down
parchment wings
against the sky
I’ve never been
one to curse –
one to bleed for long
the sky split open
goodbye

names resurface
pieces of a way I cannot find
tempted by a place
I linger still
with so much to remember
so few to put it down
prayers to ease
the wanting –
for words beyond
my will

. . .

memory of lace ~

all I really know, dreams, life, love, moments, time, truth

take me back
the way we came –
so I might see the sun
left to live
in stories
dreams
of deepest elm

so I might reach
for heaven –
the memory
of lace
folded into dust
another morning
come

take me back
if you can find
the road that was
remains
pressed against
the mountains –
caverns
without name

take me back
remember me
into the place
where light was born
fashion me a star
above the trees

. . .

worlds not yet discovered ~

easy, poet, poetry, resurrection, still, time, truth, where I am found, words

let me be
let me write
of worlds not yet
discovered –
light where none exists
but for your eyes
let me see
eternity
is not so much
to barter
time is an illusion
let me wake
within the hush
of presence
moonlight haunting skin
let me fall
let me breathe
of worlds
where I am
found
