assurance, life, love, never enough, nmw, sometimes, time, trust

sometimes –
I love the word
tho it alludes me –
sometimes i feel
sometimes i love
sometimes
is ne’er enough
to imagine life sufficient
to take it all apart
where ribbons cut across
my tender heart
forever is more telling
tho rarely sounds the same
when rolling off my tongue –
a brittle lie
forever waits
beyond the ache
eternity implies
where still i yearn
for sometimes –
a breath between
goodbyes

. . .

another mile ~

how do i get home
to the place
where we began
the lines are down
and i can’t see
the stars

was yesterday
we journeyed
not so far
along this path
e’en now the blooms
are breaking
for memories we traded

another mile
maybe three or four
til i am in your arms
i swear the moon
has come
to light my way

were there destinies
imagined –
without a plan to make
mountains of forgiveness –
emerald seas
longing put to paper
promise writ to skin –
you are but
the home
I’m sworn to be

were there
distances too great
roads not yet paved –
paths forsaken
truth succumbed to seed
miles between
returning
I’ve destroyed every map
til all I have
to carry me is need

. . .

the heart where I am moored ~

another life, assurance, comfort, dreams, life, love, morning, sleep, that thing I do, truth

careful
lest the dawn arrive –
shall we linger
with our dreams
decided not the weight
for days ahead
let us languish
still unknowing
as one with all
we keep –
safe within the breath
of words unsaid

undeclared
the portion
if you must go
then go beside –
leave the heart where I
am moored
the sanctity of home
a velvet understanding
forgiven to the light
pressed against
the certainty
of morn

. . .

speak to me of rivers ~

I am everything
and nothing –
a piece of aging cloth
a failing light
when every light is down
a whisper
once a lullaby
remember
how you sang –
of whiskey
when the glass was cold
stories when they came
to close my eyes
and listen
tell me how it was again
speak to me of rivers
of your breath
upon my skin

. . .

how close ~

allowance, arms, assurance, fears, love, lovers, poet, rhyme, time, what remains of forever

my fears
are unfounded
you cannot escape
the verse
where my heart
keeps you safe
a lock never chiseled
a key you have kept
long past
the moment
for pulling away
to wonder
how close
meter could fall –
and what might I do
should you stay

. . .

get me ~

get me to singing
like some old guitar
a bit of boards straining
for tune –
the one you played
remember that time –
chords and crescendos
of me wanting you

get me
to forever
we swore there would be
feather beds
wrapped
with cotton sheets
long nights passed
with but a whisper between –
summer smiles
and kisses –
an old porch swing

get me
to sunrise
without worry for sleep –
questions
for all this love means
move me
to make you –
these lips to beg you
stay
silent reminders
to breathe

. . .

against the rub ~

daylight burns
ten thousand sins
tho not a one
for good
prayers I’ve saved
as loves unnamed
yet there against the rub
of one more day
one more sigh
wet upon my tongue
locust croon a favored song
– as I’m remembered
home

. . .

made easy by the night ~

come now

lean against the longing
of one more moment here
a place to stay
without the need
for waiting –
the need for some forgiveness
(dare we ask again)
the want for home
(another me)
come in

lean against this promise –
made easy by the night
a candle glowing
ash upon the lawn
whene’er it comes
where’re it lays
(on sheets) the scent
of summer sun

the dawn will bring
assurance
of ten thousand yesterdays
we talked of this
returning
lest you find me
(just this way)

leaned against the kitchen sink
staring down the road
(forgotten every reason
not to stay)

. . .

the mist of time ~

be still
the ache
that satisfies
to ease these grieving hands
be mine
the soul remembers
what the heart
can’t understand
the coming back
when ages pass
into the mist of time
– tis there
my breath is taken
by love
forever mine
