how thick this mortal
silence grows
as ignorance defends
the way of fear,
and who’s to blame
for dying

confession dons
a wedding dress –
and waits the night
to find her
some hope to buy
when faith has failed again

surrender to the fairest
and none for less
will come
when counseled by their fate –
uncertain signs

distracted by the shining
thought it was their sin –
slept beyond the time
to understand

of resolutions
only one
pretends to seek the answers
stirred but for a moment
to the past

awaits the veil of innocence
a crown
to surely come
as light between the limbs
of majesty

would stow the sword
and bend the plow
raise as truth – the dying
revealed to us –
the worthiness of tears

a breath denied
to loving hearts –
blows freely to the plain
reminders of the path
so few have known

the way of life
spreads light into the dark
as wisdom waits
the longest night –
a wedding to attend

celebration ~

for moments
gladly waiting
and years rolled into years
would sorrow sit –
I begged him please
to go –
I hold myself
and wrap my arms
around this sweet becoming
salvation
feels the same
when winter slows

softer now the leaves
beneath my
naked feet –
chestnuts roll
the banks (and wash away)
criers cry
as morning doves
wait in loving echoes
earnest comes the sun
into the day

the narrows ~

the pathway sometimes narrows
for a moment – only fright
for what might be
eluding me
beyond this lovely night

would light ahead
be guidance
to a place I left behind –
or saved by wings unwilling
to alter space and time

remembered something
more than life –
more than kisses known
sunlight warms the frozen dawn
memories of his own –

proof of love
surrendering
the last cool breath of May
strength to bear the burdens
of innocence betrayed

beyond where someone listens
for a name
(a sound so sweet)
are echoes where a heart
was known to beat

no getting back
nor going ’round
just once and one more dance
lights beyond the best we willed
betrays our circumstance

again to flame ~

was once a night
remembered
and I awakened in the dark
for you were gone
(I hurt so bad that summer)
as in the place of wonder
I was left with silent rain
a will-o-wisp
and the memory of touch
fell away
beneath the weight
of demons

forgotten what it was
to breathe
to love

the darkness
crushed against the cold
and I thought again
to flame –
a candle raised
arm-length to the sky
names were kept
of stars I made
sparks of long ago
streams of what we wanted
sailed as whispers
to the wind –

forever keeps
a tender flare –
sacred to the night
forgotten now
the falling
into dreams

the crush ~

somewhere
a crush of hummingbirds
press into a garden
unsure the source
would urge them to remain
where promise
swirls in marigold
tulip trees and ivy
hovers long above a kiss
a guitar without strings

a dress of lace
to first communion
swells beneath the dew’s caress
what longing undiscovered
beats on scarlet wings

with sweetest contemplation
the path
of certain pleausre
in moments undecided
and kept as yesterday
where I shall find
another life
of times I can’t remember
the lure of honeysuckle
ten thousand miles
from home

after thought ~

I know
you’d never know it
by the way
you hold your gin
but there are lines
around your eyes
I can’t resist
there’s a far away
(I wonder) do you know it
even now
there’s a place you go
where nothing much exists
yet I remain
as was before
and wait for your return
no matter to the time
or space between
for only this
a moment passed
and I am once again
touching you
in worlds
beyond your dream

glimmer ~

the distance wearies
truth the same feeling
last night ~
I saw you
at the edge of the light
you were caught in the shimmer
never meant me to see
lest I think you were more
than over me now

the light was just fading
how amazing the colors
of jasper to elm
persimmon to fate ~
slowed in my memory
a moment of lifetimes
(breathe)
even now
I can scarce concentrate

on forever so different
than those of our season
we sang
and we laughed ~
and we wrote it all down
~ as pages created
to the curve of a shoulder
places where breast meets with bone

as my story
the tale of my longing
repeated
makes no difference
the time or the rules (we allow)
as a stirring within
I can’t say I blame you ~
what it means
(just a glimmer)
though different somehow

suffice for believing
as the first time
the last time
a sometime (I waited)
these reasons to know
more than existence
from sunrise to setting ~
places burn still
in the depths of my soul

like the way your hand
melts into mine
(remember)
the way the light clings
to shadows of then ~
was there for a moment
I saw you ~
and for ages
I held you again

breath of spring ~

When the light has come
and here
on dusty shelves
I claim my past with you ~
(the breath of spring)
I shall fill my lungs at last ~
and write my name
in colors of this dawn
of summertime and locust bloomed
in swirls of aubergine
Nights were cool
‘cept when I touched your skin ~
constellations etched
from blade to bade
Was there I knew another life ~
the life I love again

forever (a moment) ~

in the space of a sigh
forever – a moment
can stretch to become
our one evermore
and all the days left
in the getting back home
would be lost to the face
as a place we remain –
when the night washes silk
into warm morning sun

what if days had been shorter
in the passing between –
or shadows held tighter
a little more us
lips where kisses still linger
in believing (in knowing)
love’s grace

might eternity fade
to the one we remember –
a name never spoke
into fullness of life
when given the sunset
a reminder of leaving –
tis always for love

the reason
we stay

what I’d give ~

from the answers
come the questions
what I’d give
for your embrace
secrets cradled in the darkness
tangled legs of loving grace

from the place
of unintended –
comes a map to all we know
where we’ll be
when evening gathers
to this golden afterglow

where you are
is where I’m going
one more day – another sun –
becomes the heart
I swore to honor
when my days –
at last are done

for every page
I left unstarted
ink to spare
and words too few
love becomes my soul salvation –
as longing reaches
for the truth
