courage, destiny, kiss, life, love, trust

til I’ve forgotten
how to breathe –
let this be my one
reserve of truth
the last I knew
another way would come
a shallow breath
neglected –
forsaking all for this
e’en now my heart
is sated
by my name
upon your lips
sassafras and berry
vines to draw me near
frozen creeks
fields of winter hay
morning waits
whatever dreams
are mine to understand
wherever you –
I will find a way

. . .

beneath a sky of ancients ~

closer now to heaven than the stars, courage, destiny, fate, home, love, memory, stars

come to me
to the fringe of dusk
when all I’ve known
is the way
to you –
where ne’er regret
is welcomed –
the velvet of his brow
his penchant
to distract
from all that matters
now

come to me
lay with me –
beneath a sky of ancients
lovers undecided
every one
breathe in me your story
grant my heart
the map –
faded lines
let these fingers bleed

come to me
a memory
come to me afraid
as proof of my good fortune
you might be
near as dawn approaches
with but a sigh
between
the shadow where you waited
come to me

. . .

turned to stone ~

courage, free will, grace, love, sometimes, time, truth, witness

i shall pray
for love to take me
as evening
pulls around –
cuddled me in green
a bit of star
i shall want
that you would wait
until my will
is turned to stone
a plea for grace
to fill this place
you left me
once
alone
i shall rage for truth
when none becomes
the way i knew
of you
i shall want of this –
another day
when all my days
are through

. . .

unheard ~

courage, home, life, love, poetry, save for this, time, truth, words

give my path
a weight of sand
words
the grace of birds
anchored by a dreamer
ten thousand songs
unheard

carry me
where rivers grieve
moments not yet lost
give my heart
a boundless sea
desperate to cross

. . .

unsubstantial ~

always on my way, courage, days, distance, home, journey, life, love, miles, pilgrimage, stars, truth, witness, worth

what longing
might I best defend
as distance
unsubstantial
winding roads
lines across between
rivers
here I left my tears
forests I surrendered
a mile or two
beyond this best I know
time has folded over
the map that is my heart
til nothing
short of silence
feels the same
garnered by permission
to go
as once I came
before the dawn
an ageless earth –
endless virgin seas
countless intersections
stars to see me home
memories
to grace the days
between

. . .

beyond the wait ~

courage, grace, life, love, memory, messenger, soul, spirit, time, trust, truth, understanding

when hearths
are warmed
by who we are
beyond the wait
where lanterns sway
beneath an ancient dark
evermore to waste

as time
we could not give
locks already failed
secrets bound together
by the ways
of which we came

had you known
of truths I carried –
a chair beside my bed
a hope
already seated
with my soul
leaving yet to suffer
memory to fill

save for me
a place you love
to love

. . .

the faith for moving ~

dreaming

I’ve not the strength
to question
or the will
to quite let go ~
patience of a sinner
or a saint
without the faith
for moving
not much
stands in my way
just a trust
to know
tomorrow
won’t be the same

. . .

muscadine and flame ~

courage, familiar, home, kiss, life, longing, love, memory, mystery, nature, soul, spirit, truth

were that I
a solemn prayer
a bumble bee or wasp
the smile to break apart
against your sigh
ancient recognition
warmth exceeding warmth
a feeble cry
braced against the night
were that I
the best of times
the truth in all you know
a tattoo of my need
to match your own
every kiss
the taste of me
muscadine and flame
rivers
cold and reckless
remember me
the same

. . .

who for love ~

burden me
with places –
make of me a map
clear the dishes
write to me
your plans
tell me of your wanting
and who for love
will go
into the dark
beyond the break of green
fold me to your pocket
make of me
a sign
let me be
the only truth
you know

. . .

once the night ~

courage, heaven here, home, life, love, memory, nature, time, wandering

you are river
and I the mountains –
carved a place
of silk and stone
memory
of rain and ocean
miles behind –
forever home

as one way back
and one way forward –
pristine valleys
canyons deep
as once the night
have you forgotten –
we bound a star
this wish to keep

you are forest
and I the meadow
wrapped in summer
tho winter lies
beneath our feet –
it snows a river
oceans melt
to fill the sky
