recall to me
the winters past
of times –
and truth and reason
of moments more defined
and less restrained

by what was said
and who would grieve
our questions of redemption
when wondered of a time
when all was love

restore these fields
of innocence –
a lazy Thursday morn –
and nowhere soon to go
that cannot wait

gather me
to all you have –
a destiny forthcoming –
a place no longer
shadowed by the stars

of graces
we’ve forsaken
in the want for something less
would progress
take the place of times
we loved

fragile consolation
to all we might have known
when passed this way
again –

another time

give to me
the memory
of years unfated now
tho dreams can only take me
where I go

longing wears
a purple dress
the shade of which I love
and worries not for sins
already paid

in secret
contemplation
the snow is piling high
and every ounce of oil
has burned
to grey

resemblance to our destinies
is surely not our fault
we took such care
to wipe the proof
away

of miracles
there must have been
more than one
remember when
convincing me of something more
than signs

but the book is left
unopened –
I’m sure these aren’t my cards
the joker laughs
til I can scarcely sleep
bury me with potions
leave the window
cracked
and when the birds are roosting
let them be

cut the trees
the young will thrive
and when I’m grey
the best survived
a dozen more
than the summers might
have saved

to winters
we are taken
the hunter without grace
when everything is turned inside
to white –
the sacred lace

the first
to say I’m sorry
the last to say pretend
the fields are bare
and soon the time to go

remembering
the spring is come
as the reddest buds return
I’ll put my apron back
and time will slow

wrapped inside a promise
with nothing much between
the magic lent to circumstance –
the sweet desire
of dreams

cowboys sewn to flannel
each bittersweet regret
shadows fade
to scars the shade of night

illusion of a moment stilled
by fireflies and letters
tender indiscretions
to take the place
of light

came the wind
to steal your whisper
sweetest light against my soul

soft as pine
to needles nesting –
something
worth the wait
to know

passed the morning
without warning –
begged the darkness
fall away –
held beside the fate
of leaving –
curs’ed words
we couldn’t say

twilight sworn
to grieve our sleeping –
warns the night of love
renewed
hours into hours
slipping –
lifetimes here
we never knew

bent for choosing
free for losing –
time and space as one
shall be

last time here –
I scarce remember
where it was you came
for me
. . .

dare to let me love you
as the swallow loves the spring
as winter mourns the smell
of burning leaves

dare to let me hold you
as blue defies the clouds
as storms to brace
against the night
we knew

dare to let me touch you
til the final flame is gone –
as secrets spilled
to shadows
round our bed

dare to let me understand
the magic that you make –
stories yet unwritten
to your dreams

dare to let me know you
as I knew you times before
and roads we took –
awaiting
to arrive

dare to let me kiss you
to taste your words as mine
and live on breath –
was just before
my name

Paint and brush
to claim me –
red against your black.
Fair to feathers
floating skyward –
words as silence soar.

Breath to warm
each thrill survived –
hope kept in the dark
sits in boxes –
packing
tissue paper hearts.

Forgetting naught
for why it is –
of all I might pretend
– each time we talk –
a time I fall
again.

Forever waits
unbidden –
a schoolgirl once all over –
yesterday don’t matter
where we are.

With thoughts of you
returning –
same old maps
to borrow.
Roads may get me nowhere –
I won’t miss.

Stay the night
and tell me –
of mysteries to know –

like where the wander takes you
when you go.

Mountains fall
to passages between –
here I am
and you a part
of places I am better.

Line by line –
writing in the dark.

in the still
that is my gratitude
the wildest orchid blush
and trees –
ten thousand years
are just begun

music without words
to need
or tears to grieve
for longing
robins bathe in pools
of aubergine

ribbons twist
against the blue –
reminders of another
and graces come
to ease the pains
between

love would ne’er
aspire to more
love when none was asking
heaven seeks her own
to love as this

gardens grow without
a thought
of sunlight on the morrow
drinks of rain
without the thought
of none

where the evening falls
eternal –
to the land
of yellow birds
songs are drifting back to me
as melodies unheard

as flowers
strained to blooming
where the snow is piling high –
will I remember this forever
a star within my night

will ashes
be blown over –
to the shores where I belong
as ripples to the river –
where your love is known

of seasons
barely noticed –
as locust passing by
petals painted roses
to the sheets –
a lullabye

as ribbons
from my weaving
left to signs along the way
as proof of love’s surrender
come whatever
come what may

souvenirs of red and gold
ancient purple strands –
as choice to be
so willingly –
and want to understand

the path resolved
to go alone –
beneath the lowly pines
shall free for me the traces
of another time

when love was new
the creek was rising
swift beneath my skin –
and all night long
was not enough
to live

. . .

of pictures in my wallet
some are older than my sins
and graces come
whenever I am here –
I’m there again
swept up in my passions
alive in yesterdays –
and lying in the room
reserved for dreams
I sail away

it’s the wonder of temptation
the lure of letting go –
and late nights
when the kitchen’s warm
I swim in world’s below
my feet against the hardwood
my spine against the wall –
someone speaks in riddles
echoes ringing
from the fall

reminds me of another
and times I couldn’t stay –
met me as was coming back
o’er reasons unbetrayed
by silverware and secrets
where winds uncertain blew
across and back
my recollect –
of things I never knew

. . .

solitude
to match my eyes
cappucine and copper
til every truth
is fated by the glass

storms of steel
beyond the pond –
black the swan song singing
blush to pale
in blankets of the morn

wheat to sway
as winds to grieve
the answers unforgiving
times before we passed
are with us now

still the pace
of longing –
drawn to lines of love
reach for me
the part of you
unknown

. . .

were stories
bound to keep us –
longer than the telling should
or moss grow tender
fingers to our hair

secrets kept
the night too long
as kisses sealed again
within the nevermore
of happenstance

twilight streams
as golden gleams –
resurrected summers
moments
dare we speak
about them now

winding trails
and tattered sails –
piano by the window
dusted now the memory
of song

each lonely page
remembers me –
as days I failed to notice

the way the sunlight
fell into your eyes
