i wonder how it is
i know
to breathe the same
air where
oceans settled
over memory and slate
blue has found
redemption
in a softer shade of grace
i recall sometimes
your eyes
as you were dreaming
shores where once I carried you
away

i am touch
where intention
spilled to the light
flailing as vows
to be heard
a long night beginning
with no easy answers –
let me sleep
with my heart
on your sword
i am graces
neglected –
secrets let be
lifetimes made over
again
let me stay
for a moment
before I am fade
to nothing
but words
on your skin
. . .

were a lifetime
one more sunrise
a sparrow
taking flight
a word to rhyme with missing
arms to fit just right
another stay
the night for breakfast
if they worry
I won’t care
for a lifetime
one more sunrise –
waiting there
in dreams
where dreams are tarried
fragile breath
of candle light
as promise made –
a sparrow
taking flight
. . .

do you remember
crickets playing
well into the night
an oasis formed of dreams
hiding there
granny’s blanket
folded –
a carrier of wish
for days
I pulled starlight from
my hair
. . .

take me back
the way we came –
so I might see the sun
left to live
in stories
dreams
of deepest elm
so I might reach
for heaven –
the memory
of lace
folded into dust
another morning
come
take me back
if you can find
the road that was
remains
pressed against
the mountains –
caverns
without name
take me back
remember me
into the place
where light was born
fashion me a star
above the trees
. . .

pressed
into the pages
here my story lies
a sacred bloom
once crimson
sweet perfume
I close my eyes
and once again
rest beneath the boughs
spied upon
by eyes in search
of mine
melody of nature
music of the trees
ancients raise
a silver canopy
to catch the light
surrendered
by ten thousand
dreamed before
spirits I have spoken
here my heart
a blossom as a kiss
resolved –
as dear my own to taste
the fragile scent
of memory
remains
. . .

in the blush
before twilight falls
on stars I know by name
tis there
a sigh unguarded
you remain
in light
before the sun arrives
to sit
atop my barn
in breezes come
a whisper
through the pines
tis there
amid the places –
I’ve decided
I can bear
souvenirs of all
I thought
to love
with breath
before dreams return
as shadows
shape the night –
as story
not yet told
you remain
. . .

carry me home, dreams, feelings, life, love, pieces, pieces of me, poet, thoughts, trust, words, writing in the dark
sometimes
my words are thwarted
by sunlight
through the pines
a moment
just before I meant
to go
last night’s inspiration
is tucked inside my shirt
tho later I
will wonder
why they came
and what they know
collected from the fragments
of a moment
I was gone
emptied to the darkness
deep as I would trust
cleft within the silence –
holding back a fire
sometimes
I beg forgiveness
without a thought to why
guarded in my love
for other
worlds

these arms
resist the morning
when daylight breaks anew –
attempts to hold
what can’t be held –
a flame that burns
clear through
the haunted taste of promise
still lingers on these lips –
a plea surrendered
softly –
as the moon
became a kiss
evidence I waited
and all I dared concede –
drifting at the edges
dreams –
won’t let me be
these hands
are stiff with longing
for paradise they know
passage given
let me in –
a torture letting go
. . .
