names repeated
as bells are ringing
promise keeps
a vigil dear
returning echoes
once forbidden
death is not
a victor here
. . .

all I know of living, constellations, dreams, life, love, poetry, silence, story, tell me, truth, verse, writer
this line
is one you crossed
that night
somewhere
as I lay sleeping
awoke within
the whisper of my name
ten thousand years
of someone told –
where once
I dreaming lived
speckled as the
moon
against your dark
poetry
to pull the heart
is life and death
surpassing
words and constellations
in silence
love remains
. . .
bittersweet ~

bittersweet
a lovely word
speaks to ways I’ve known
a path or two
grown heavy to the briar
biscuits sometimes
much too hard
jelly to the jar
places I was going
faded now
not much left
for writing –
too much truth to tell
years
where silver grey
the earth grows hard
when for a while
I walk beneath
stars to shine
the same
as once I knew them
every one
bittersweet
they burn
. . .
willingly ~

for every day
another willed
a time where none
are known
a dawn where once
we lingered
not so long
eternity was passed
into the still
of might have been
a sigh against
the nevermore
of skin
a kiss
where words
went willingly –
with promises to claim
a story weaved
from where I fell
when first I heard
your name
. . .
hands to fit ~

created I
another me –
love I might have known
a dream
(so close)
the touching
never slept
in sheets
ten thousand thread
or more –
who was I to tell
of roads I walked
long –
with dirty soles
to learn again
the truth became
hands to fit
(my own)
paths where none
were gifted
save one
to take me
home
. . .

dream, home, in no time at all, light, love, memory, reminders, returning, story, truth, unforgotten
from places
afar
I wander again
to fields
where poetry grows
yellow and bright
orchid
and poppy
fragrance
(remember)
follows me home
a light
through my window
burns long
the night
reaching beyond
my resolve
to dreams
(not forgotten)
ways I have loved
~ promises left
from the fall
. . .
one more evermore ~

where was I
when teardrops fell
dancing in the garden
fingers sweat
with honeysuckle vine
whispering
my reverie ~
as secrets to the morning
lest only then
heaven hear my cry
with prayers
for one more
evermore
roads to take me home
~ as stars along
an endless stretch
of blue
. . .
the promise of someday ~

leave me to home
as destined you found me
bound by a breath
to another man’s dream
to stars not betrayed ~
a journey unfolding
as warmth
without reason ~
evening of light
where shadows
lay stilled by the promise
of someday
by the fluttering sense
that forever
was come
. . .
everything true ~

breath, divine this, eternity, grace, lifetimes, love, sacred intimacy, said aloud, time, truth
for a time
before
was forever here
as close as breath
to the wind
as near to nothing
everything true –
eternal soul
awakened again
from the way
I came
down some other path
to walk a day
in your sun
to gather strength
as shadows fell
silent ribbons
undone
from the first
I knew
as am knowing now
of a moment
living apart
from the place
where love
remains with me
written somewhere
on my heart
. . .
a path returning ~

breath, gather me here, home, life, love, nature, old maps, remembering, time, trust
home
is but a path
returning
blossom here
where once a seed
placed
with love –
a heart beginning
now to fill
our only need
of hands
held soft –
gentle kisses
a moment here
wills us stay
beyond the reach
of time
and promise
a sun unseen
awaiting
day
. . .
