as the last
constellation
brushed into light
planets not yet given
to name
as weeds tangled over
barbs of our past
I want you
to love me
that way
as a three quarter moon
oceans obey
souls coming back
for a kiss
as the memory of sparrows
sailing to home –
I need you
to love me
like this
like a wild
tameless river
carving canyons
to the sea
with reckless abandon –
love me
. . .

ten thousand songbirds
swim amidst the trees
echo their songs
a million tiny voices
stir with longing
sympathy
a quiet place where none
exist
so many shadows
forgotten by light
and that which shines
still
cannot hope
to save the rest
starlings soar
music
once an orchestra of many
flutters from the
silence
a cacophony
of trees grieve long
the beauty
was once the song
of songbirds
. . .

ruby crush
as sapphire
comes to roost
outside my door
morning
finds a place
where lovers wait
beyond the reach
of shadow –
a song
I strain to hear
a wanderer
made home again
leans against
the gate
lilac taints
the walkway –
where honeysuckle
climbs
to meet at once
a star
she meant to claim
some far away
forgotten here
except by butterflies
a lazy bee
who knows them all
by name
. . .

evermore pauses
light glistens on the
sapphire skin of oceans
wings at half mast
crescendo of wonder
pulled through the waves
as clouds split apart
by their falling –
lightning flows
in black gypsy gowns
night torn in two
by a flame
. . .
