how is it I’d forgotten
my plans for evermore –
my want for more than waffles
another sunday morn
papers spread around me
with no one to obsess
o’er how I kiss
how I take my tea
where the lines
have faded now
who will mind the lawn
and who has sworn to memory
the place
I dreamed about
when all the rest
is scattered
one shall know for sure
where I kept my heart
how I loved

. . .

denied of blue ~

of living
i’ve decided
to save the best for this
my only ever once
forever time
– one kiss
ages past
were i to feel
an ache denied of blue
how is it now
i know
what these arms
were fated to
there are no words
no sordid rhymes
no wish
denied a star
time and places
someone wrote my name
was for this moment
lifetimes passed
tho i cannot recall
where time is gone –
there is no ache
at all

. . .

silences i traded (let me in) ~

of silences
i traded –
(let me in)
crimson places
fallen
i recall
days beyond what mattered
before i knew to know
the echo of my
voice
upon the snow
of breath
i still remember
(let me in)
memories forsaken now
as whispers
to the wind
of names
and places
someone may have tethered
to my heart
seems now the page
is empty
save for this –
(let me in)

forgotten how to feel ~

sometimes
words elude me
there’s bitter
on my tongue
for days
sometimes nights
i can’t explain
the way it is
ways i’ve forgotten
how to feel
tho lately you are near
and i can dream
of pages
where the pages end
lines to circumvent
ages
where my memory remains
folded into blankets
high upon a shelf
where once you were –
and i was yours
this way

re-reminders ~

thought i once
the path was gone
every fence torn down
could barely see
the meadow
for the trees
nights i took for granted
stars that used
to shine
shooting re-reminders
of a wish
i made
one time
another life
we fit together
gave of breath to know
the ways that we would come
with moments yet
to hold
years to grant
gathered as a promise
once we made
would find us here
remembering
the wish we left
to fate

. . .

days becoming days becoming years ~

what solace
recollection –
when all i know
is you
what good the past
for teaching me goodbye
time is a survivor
how it was
to touch your skin –
sorrows without want
to reach me then
what good
the way returning
when all the trees are bare
blossoms floating down
silhouettes
silence sworn
to save me –
was here we fell in love
days becoming days
becoming years
the memory
of another time –
black and white of
yesterdays
words where once
your touch
knew everything

. . .

now we see ~

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

. . .

forgotten to the rest ~

so much of me
is held between
the first i was
the last
seasons gone
another leaf to press
spinning once
i thought of you
and how it was you came
to render me
forgotten
to the rest

so much of me
was everything
and you
the one denied
oceans
seas
rivers
someone knew
before was i

you waited
my remembrance
of surrender
just this way
leaving every season
to confess
ages fell between
here am i
as once before –
take of me forever
take of me
the rest

. . .
