if ever
for my words you ache
just listen for the night –
the steady drum
of stars succumb
to heaven chasing light
the cry of crickets
fiddles ring
as shadows round are cast
cedar boughs
forgiven now –
are kneeling on the grass
the stir of
night birds waking
to find another song
things I might have told you
– they will hold you
when I’m gone

. . .

pull against the moon ~

howcouldyouknow

for what
was life becoming –
when for this one I yearned
a breath between forevers –
made sweet the souls
return

a kiss
I scarce remember
once cooled upon my lips –
saved into my being
as proof of love
like this

time rests
beneath the cedars –
and pulls against the moon
resolving all we dared
to touch –
yet leaving way
too soon

. . .

resurrection ~

was not for life
I waited –
or a memory restored
but for love
I might have dreamed
a moment more

is death
an indecision
or just the end of all I know –
how sweet
the resurrection
of fire into the soul

dare we wait
another lifetime
another birth –
still undefined
lest I wake
and not remember
where I was
when you were mine

just such

was once before
my heart was filled
and I could not resist
a moment more
than what was come –
as words
within a kiss

was once before
I memorized
each line upon your face
what tender worlds
my hands have known –
each mystery
retraced

was once before
I knew you now –
a memory dispersed
by life
by death
by roads between
the last kiss
and the first

. . .

yesterhere

dare we worry
the darkness coming
– or tears
we’re bound to leave
a sorrow not yet given –
tis a blessing
I believe

a barter made
for living –
will grieve our losses
soon enough
with silence
meant for breaking –
were not for love

let us take our fill
of passion
and toast the days
til when –
we meet beyond the taking
in the place
where love began

. . .

another time to lose ~

closetothis

what soul
would I surrender
for another life to lose
– breath
when there is nothing left
what kiss
would I
refuse

what sorrows
meant to suffer –
for joy when others fail
e’en beyond
the dark –
beyond the veil

when asked
what would I give
what might I take if only one –
what dream of mine
will linger
will linger
when I’m gone
