how much of me
still wonders
at this place
we’ve come to be
how many years –
miles
we put behind
how much will i remember
when my days
are all but done
will i recall the light
found burning
in your eyes
remember me
this destiny
when all the rest are gone
fields of ash
winter wheat mistaken
let for this
another grieve
how i loved you so
saved my heart
from wondering
for long
. . .
15 Saturday Oct 2022
it rained
and i was carried
out beyond the gate –
beneath the trees
an ocean
to embrace
i thought of you
another spring
and how it felt
to sail
beyond the reach
of sailors –
silver tides
it rained
and i remembered
nights where
in your arms
a pounding on the roof
whispers caught
between a moment
fell into
and waking far away
with only these
reminders
of the rain
. . .

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
. . .

of nothing
not much do I have
tho i beg you
to take what you will
go without speaking
let me a kiss
the warmth of your name
still burning
my lips
of boxes
and winters
ten thousand years
i made of my life
one sweet yesterday –
coffee left stains
on the floor
where I knelt
burning my secrets
away
echoes
are scattered
high on a shelf
where once I kept photos
pieces of us
stored without thought
to where we might be –
or how far the stars
still to fall
. . .

breath, grief, i shall wait, illusion, life, love, one more every time, time
when the fields
have been neglected
the rain
may never come
to spare the soul
from grieving –
the heart from getting on
when the light
is nearly faded
without a promised
one more time
when the name I keep
upon my lips
is dried before the sun
the ground made cold
to wait
I will wait
beyond the place
where touch becomes a memory
of where we were
how we loved
I will wait
beyond the final fade
another this to know –
I will wait
. . .

of lessons
I heard about –
fates to convene
a place I was born
with another
to grieve
how it was
I remember
sometimes like a dream
barns beaten down
by the winters
moments like this
survivors to death
I knew
as I know
when you kissed me
how sweetly you fit
with some other I was
names without
places
we loved
. . .

for a moment
(or a lifetime)
I forgot the way to breathe
the means to speak
I can’t recall
my name
was there before
I heard you
(whisper
me to life)
your fingers on
my pulse
forever (one more
time)
as if it were the only
my name betrayed
your voice
(echoes) of my heart
trapped
beneath your skin
breathed
(a sigh forgotten)
save for this
. . .

a light on the porch, all I really know, almost always, and still, beyond the dark, breath, close enough to touch, closer now to heaven than the stars, do you remember, love
roses are sweet
though I can never tell
the point where
essence is lost
table top manners
and looking glass gold
frail as these fingers
to hold
repent me
no longer –
were nothing but skin
succumb to your waiting
again
mystic translation
of who I became –
bartering breath
for sorrow
fate of the faithless
to bow
long stilled
the passion
of summers made sweet –
whispers forgotten
another someday –
muttering madness
secrets to lies
will takes the hunger
away
. . .

breath, forgiveness, love, lovers, now, space, starting over, time, truth
before the time
unknowing
the end was not the end
but a means of understanding
where healing
might begin
before the rush of waking
one dream
allowed to be –
fell within the promise
of lost eternities
before the will
longing knew
where our paths would lead
thru gardens of allowance
tendered now to seed
was evermore
a place beyond –
dawn without remorse
were skies forgave the heavens
where lovers love
once more
. . .

could be
all i need
is forever to surrender
another dawn
to rise
within your arms
could be
all i need
is a way
for getting over
eternity to wash
ash to snow
could be
all i need
is a sigh beneath
my shiver
breath upon the fire
i made my home
