one more time
one more season –
let the blossoms fall as may
marigold and budding jasper
solstice from
a world away

as before
a certain wisdom
comes without regard
and still –
all that was
remains unbroken –
all our passions
given will

touch recalled
as were no passing
into love –
where life remains
unto fields of winter clover
miles we wander
home again

catch me now
the lover leaning
into life –
a fated charm
convince my heart
to match your beating –
as gathered soft
to waiting arms

restless

something more ~

Justthissideof sleep

I know the psalms
each word by heart
written somewhere
tho I’ve forgotten why
love resounds
eternally
the best of me
without a note to play
I dare not sing
unburdened bliss –
I give away
the truth
becoming more
than ever someone else
someone still
could say
how it is you made of me
something more than words
something more
within each sweet
refrain

. . .

for every time
another was –
some other life
I lived
as thought erased
yet given grace
how is it
I survived

with memories
I can’t replace –
can’t give a name
to every face
every kiss
to remember now
I missed
you

as trade again
on mortal sin
this one more life
to know –
another death
with your faithful breath
warm within
my soul

. . .

breath of flame

make me a home
at the heart of your longing
near to the place
muscle meets bone
share me a haven
of ten thousand windows
light pouring rivers of crimson and gold
make this an always
born of all others –
lifetimes of nothing but loving you so
make me your memory
a light to the shadow
as dawn through the cedars –
all that you know

. . .

forever I’m falling ~

leaving

will beyond
longing
truth without voice –
souvenirs kept
in a box by the door
heart seeking purpose
in all I’ve begun
lifetimes forsaken –
how many before

same old dreams
same sweet story
beginning an end
was made long ago –
what can I say
forever
I’m falling
tis all that I am
all that I know

. . .

heart to hand ~

foralways

across
and through
each one beginning
as velvet lines
to tempt the sky
as pause was come
for comprehending
– where my wisdom
waited now

have you life
or have you pardon
to give of me
the same
sweet ways
as breath became
our will for sharing
of lifetimes more
than choice to stay

I’ve followed you
tho not so close –
and left no signs
to understand
altered proof of my existence
as lines were crossed
of heart
to hand

. . .

met with rhyme –

for every time
forgotten you
the road between
begun
and counted for my worries
every mile
for cares
I thought it mattered
now it seems I’ve lost my way
returning your
remembrance
as a smile

a verse or two
maybe three or four
as meter met
with rhyme
stories we were telling
on the way
sits the same
an unlined page
fevered fight with time
how few the poet knows
have less to say

places still
my soul recalls
the miracle of pen
as hush before a poem
we appear
crowded vowels rewritten
backward to my hands
words are given voice
tho none can hear

. . .
