on a hill far away

does it worry you the same
when darkness calls my name
do you lie awake
to wonder where I am
time wears against the soul
as storms around us roll
the dream endures
uncertain
where to go

though it’s been a while
it seems ten thousand miles
I feel your touch
in everything I love
when a breath of morning dew
returns my thoughts
to you
twilight fades
and I am pulled to home

. . .

touch or follow ~

constellations

for another day
gathered close
by a string of crazy dreams –
stars
from wishes scattered
on the breeze

songs to sing
truths I swore
for surely ours were one –
let me touch
or follow
another to become

what I would trade
for moments –
to indulge this sweet refrain
wherein our will is
rested

tis where
we love again

. . .

shadows to dancing ~

yesterhere

confused
by a promise
I’ll come back to find you
warm as a whiskey –
slow let me learn
of moments made sweeter
of a morning
left broken –
to memories scattered
let me return

to a time
I was willing –
and there you were welcomed
as shadows to dancing
whispers goodbye
telling of dreams
red swirling sunlight –
a cascade of reasons
for your hand
holding mine

. . .

a place we were going ~

tell me the way
forever was started
with a wink of an eye
a slow letting go
pretending that always
was a place we were going
heaven discovered
a lifetime ago

tell me your story
sounded so simple
of stars in the darkness
mornings broke down
help me remember
the path you were taking
before love surrendered
a choice for us
now

teach me the lesson
was once but a memory
warming your lips
the taste of a kiss
tell me
I wonder –
the worth of confession
tell me of another
you loved me
like this

. . .

once so easy ~

sunrise (2)

comes a time
pressed into
the memory of leaving
names and places
thought erased
by getting on –
by dying

from moments
unrepentant
truth returns another lie
trust was once
so easy –
now denied

words succumb
to silence
an echoed I love you
whispers
as the morning wakes –
to beckon me anew

. . .

another prayer ~

salvation comes
I prayed it –
ten thousand selfish nights
a day returned
to open wide my heart
cast aside the worrying
let alone the past
too many where I waited
til I’ve forgotten you
before the dawn
remembers
another prayer
I knew

. . .

words ~

words neglect
the heart of me –
a river without pen
nights I curse
at shadows –
as verses to begin
denied the trust
of long ago
warmth against my breast
solace seeks surrender
in a moment unconfessed
the ways become
of somewhere else –
days rolled long between
from a place deserted
where we are –
words don’t mean
a thing

. . .
