how will i remember
when pieces
are lost
when the box i once owned
burned last july
how will i know
what of love
i have carried
when robbed of the warmth
of your hand
wrapped in mine
how will i know
love was for keeping
when the light
on my porch
has burned out
how will i see
through the dawn
to remember
it is you
i have ached –
coming home
for me now

by the ways
i remember –
a path through the pines
all i could see
was the light
of your eyes –
a tender come home
melting the miles
by the ways
i remember –
you there
a hand folded softly
with mine
dreams planted sweetly
to heart –
distance
not so
the place
where i still
tender your longing
to moments divine –
a resounding
come home
echoes soft
through the pines

. . .

If…

If this moment was all you had, who would you love? Who would you tell to get lost? What would you break free from? What would you create? Where would you go? See, you do know what you want. So, why not now? Love, break free, set boundaries, speak up, create…..love in this moment, not the next. If this moment was all you had, who would you love?

had I choice
of how life ends –
where destinies align
would someone write your name
with bits of mine

how far from then
this poet dreamed
with words
the heart might hear
of angels resurrected
for moments
here

could be no everafter
longing for these days
no paradise
could e’er suffice
to loving you
this way

had i choice
of heavens
a place
I’m sworn to be
some other dream
I dreamed
you’d come
for me

had I choice
of how life ends –
a version of the rest
I’d best believe
our destinies aligned
that gods were
having coffee –
one day amid the clouds
when someone wrote your name
with bits of mine

. . .

i want a white dress
a red painted wagon
a tractor i can’t drive
but i can watch
you from the window
of a dream
no one noticed
growing from weeds
constellations
in your eyes
i want a sunset
tennessee
or alabama
it don’t matter
to the roads
that brought us home
i want a white dress
a red painted wagon
a tractor
i can’t drive
but i can watch
you from the window
of a dream

had we nothing
save these mortal pains
days without restraint
had we much
or something more
than diamonds held
stars beyond the gate
hands to fit
in places dark
eyes to light
the deep
were something less
worth coming for
i think not
now we see
the sky
recalls each moment –
portals to the past
as blue made dreams
remember –
we fell
as wishes cast

. . .

sometimes
i remember –
the ways we were then
and nights
i dare not to speak
of them now
pages discovered
sometimes while i dream
you are there
in the soft
silver grey
of the dawn

sometimes
i forget –
the day you were gone
with only your scent
to remind me
of home
with only a fleeting
breath i might catch
left to the light
by the storm

sometimes
i remember

. . .
