24 Wednesday May 2023
as the last
constellation
brushed into light
planets not yet given
to name
as weeds tangled over
the barbs of our past
I want you
to love me
that way
as a three quarter moon
oceans obey
souls coming back
for a kiss
as the memory of sparrows
sailing to home –
I need you
to love me
like this
like a wild
tameless river
split through the pines –
canyons carved
to the sea
pebbles and seashells
left to our wake
with reckless abandon –
love me
. . .
23 Tuesday May 2023
whatever words
you hold of mine
suffering to bear
confessions of a saint
– deepest praise
recompense
for shadows –
dancing on the wall
whispers of surrender
falling now
verse to bind
rhyme to waste –
the place
where love begins
witness to a sigh –
breath becoming
skin
whatever words
you keep of mine –
whatever fate is come
stretched to span
eternity –
saved for us
the one
. . .

chisel me
forever
set your name with mine
beneath an evening
spread
of ancient pines
beneath a sky
of almost black –
wings against the dark
whispers of remember
– fathers
taking flight
carve me
into maple –
my soul to golden oak
swear me not a page
where i might stay
counter to a memory
how would i compare
as one so sweet –
to steal my heart
away
. . .
22 Wednesday Mar 2023
despite my
resolution
to keep you arms away
a distant sun –
i couldn’t reach by car
a voice
almost for certain
not quite faded
still i grieve
the sound of your hello –
it doesn’t matter
where you are
i’m tortured
by the notion
you would let me go
this way –
you don’t speak my name
don’t feel the same
some days
despite my sore confession
i don’t love you –
still i do
tis not for me to ever
understand
how it is my heart
remembers
everything
i never said
destiny
i dare not lay to rest
everything you are
to love –
is all i am
. . .

beginning again, life, love, memory, redemption, time, truth
had we time
to make it over
time to do again
what was left
undone
left unsaid
traded for another
life we might have lived
days we might have
passed
sweeter the temptation
to get it right
would earn our trust
take our nights
had we time
again (remember) –
to learn
the way to love
differently somehow
a place of rest
beyond whatever time
and breath
allow
. . .

of moments
long neglected –
choice to resurrect
a promise made
another day to find
whatever fate
was guided
by permission to arrive
was worth the way
deserted –
in my haste
to make you mine
for every moment
traded
dreams i let to dry
fields allowed to wither
in the sun
paths no longer open
covered disbelief
a night denied
the stars –
i knew you then
. . .
06 Monday Mar 2023
last i remember
a red sky was falling –
blue had run out
on the day
dreams were allowing
access for mercy –
love had come home
with reason
to stay
like there was never another
we thought about leaving
took down the curtains
and buried the bed
out past the pasture
jesus was witness
to a feeling we dared
believe
wasn’t dead
heaven made plans
to sleep in for breakfast
when i found you there
at the edge of the woods
looking for signs
to stay
to remember
wanting for love
in arms
understood
. . .

steal from me
this willing heart
with nothing but your sigh –
touch i kept
one sunday afternoon
we talked about
forever –
another life forgave
held your hand
and counted back the ways
remember how it is
how it feels
to understand
some paths are come
to show us
what is real –
plagued by time
tangled in a memory
of flame
remember how it was
to lean into
an easy trust –
a breath to find redemption
in a name
. . .
23 Thursday Feb 2023
were there a means
for understanding
some longing
to discern
a place for every hurt
i leave behind –
breath becoming more
than just the memory
of words
a moment you were falling
into my
eternal rhyme
and i remember
what it took to find
you here –
to get you home
tethered to a promise
whispered
soft against the night –
reminders
of the only thing i know
to resurrect
love to get us back
where we
belong
. . .
14 Tuesday Feb 2023
wherever you
my home is found
nestled in your love –
apart from all
e’en silence
cannot share
where you have been
i have wandered
back into
your grace
into the place
forgotten
now the ways
to understand
wherever bliss
some other life –
ancient stars to plan
where i was before
i only know
was ever all
for this
. . .
