we were here
like this
I thought it was magic
the way the wind blew
songs thru my hair
how my life tasted
when blessed by your kiss
words
but a sigh
I remember it well
has it been forever
another life lived –
far from the place
you discovered me there
warmed by the stirring
a solace
I knew
was as near as your
heart
come to anchor
my own

what was left
of the creek
has turned into dust
(was here
i once held up the night)
was right here
beside you
covered with dew
assessing the stars
(wishes in flight)
was heaven this close
(i scarce can recall)
how sweet was your love
on my skin –
venus made nest
in a handful of curls
words seeking silence
again
(and again)
tell me once more
how swiftly the waves
to carry us far
from this place where we lay
how cool were
the oceans –
(created from dust)
to hold what was left
(to the story)
of us

. . .

where I was before ~

❤

the busy moth
a night becomes
the color of the moon
a shade the same
as breath
within the cold
ashes drift
and I’m returning
to where I was before –
awake when no one knew
to ask the dream

. . .

a cup of all that mattered ~

alignment, another day, grace, light, love, reason, time, words

more than once
forever knew
i’d wait the morning after
with a trace of all that mattered
words already done
graces come
so easily
sometimes without regret
for choices
once at liberty to make
defending what was mine
to keep
failing what was not
the way before
seems different
in the light

. . .

almost gone, grace, life, memory, sometimes, time

do you remember
sleep we traded
for one more chance at love
a garden grew
in shadows of the barn
hearts for holding memory
promising our best –
would gather
every season
waited on

once before
i stood my ground
and put my maps away –
starlings black before the sun
could bake
dressed in purple flannel
i willed the stars collide
begging please
upon my knees –
another dream
to wake

longing keeps
no record –
of years betrayed
to moments here
curved against your spine –
a willing spoon
do you remember
how i worried
each time you tempted fate
trusting of our fortunes
to the moon

. . .

colors not yet made to match your eyes ~

destiny, intimacy, love, time, truth

from time to time
the ease at which i love
becomes a curse
weeds grown up
claim the best of me
a heart at once forgiving
the ache of destinies
a moment of allowance –
beyond the reach
of need

i wait
without regard
for how you wear your shirt
colors not yet made
to match your eyes
i wait
in silent disbelief
of things i dare not change
the way your fingers
wrap the world
in mine

. . .

the first to say ~

allowance, love, tenderness, time

was the last
I knew
the first to say
and one step closer
to the slipping thru
on fields laid bare
where feathers grew
yellow golden
tears –

you were mine
for taking
mine for telling
stories
of a patient moon
the last to know
how I loved you so –
of heaven
promised
here

. . .

the ache of carolina ~

grace, light, love, seasons, time, truth

brought whiskey from
the cellar
tomatoes nearly green
wrote to you of oceans
caverns filled between
the first i thought to tell you
my love was yours alone
would free you from
the ache of carolina –
arms that feel so empty
have you gone

too far
from where we started
to unravel what was ours
one night we said too much
and fell away
i remember when the truth
succumb to shadow
a reach beyond the place
i prayed
to find you
forgotten every reason
left to stay

. . .

across and back this everafter ~

another me, life, love, memory, nature, poetry, seasons, soul, spirit, time, touch

had i nothing
but one more ache –
another poem come of this
ashes swirl beyond the meadow
leaves returning
a golden bliss

silence fills
an almost whisper
breezes brush the tallest pines
remembered not
to indecision –
other worlds where stars align

bid me go
or let me linger –
will this earthly heart to slow
across and back
this everafter –
is home to every
love i’ve known

. . .

words I wanted back ~

almost always, grace, life, love, poetry, still, trade for more, words


had i wishes
yet to squander
graces
mine to give
smiles without a reason
to concede
kisses left for ransom
give and give some more
half the cost of letting go
was every sigh
between
the place we fell
fate for trade
when nothing more was come
grief to stain my pillow
dig the hole
fill my heart with daggers
words i wanted back
to ease the hunger
building
in my soul
