allowance, forgiveness, grace, letting go, love, time, trust

never worried
for the leaving –
fences broken
(should i care)
for days
beyond the harvest –
without want
to meet us there

no fated
circumstances –
would have me leave
the gate ajar
had i known
you were missing –
i might have wondered
(where you are)

had i slept
beneath the window –
beside a memory of us
washed my sheets
til they surrendered
the world
our dreams (forgot)

nights
became
a bed of whispers –
trading truths
i couldn’t hold
tempted wings
unfurling presence
across the spring
(across the snow)

recollections ~

confessional, denial, drifting, forgiveness, grace, heart and soul, here I begin, home, life, love, memory, seasons, starting now, time

sometimes
it seems that easy
the want to push away
thoughts of you
reminders
not mistaken
how afternoons could wane
a golden blissful heat
beyond the fence
anchored to my dreams

when I’ve forgotten
everything
I thought I knew to know
how deep
these recollections
bury me
how many dawns denied
that i would leave
the heart i love
married to a truth
i never thought
too much
would show

sometimes
it seems so easy
to forget the ways
i’ve come
beyond the fence
where once i fell
too far
to get me home

forgiveness, graces we've forgotten, home, life, love, poet, truth, words

i write
and i worry
for pages on end
suffice to decide what words
might erase
i write when there’s nothing
i need to let go
but the jab of my pencil
parchment and coal
i write my forgiveness
before it is asked
and where you are now
unasking
i write and i whittle
nights to defend
so sure my thoughts would arrive
somewhere else
if left for a moment
hung o’er my page
awaiting a memory to come
i write in the places
i thought i would end
and pull up the margins
behind

i write

. . .

dawn without remorse ~

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

. . .

fated to me ~

acceptance, forgiveness, infinite, life, love, seasons, sometimes, time, truth, willing you home to me

same as I

forty-one more
than I was young
half lives more than ready
one last time –
for living
every day

failing
forgiveness –
tell me of pleasures
willed you come
yet pulled you away

separate for nothing
a pension for madness –
heaven permitted
to leave

last years
communion –
is this years I love you
memory fated
to me

. . .

how it was ~

beginning, destinies, forgiveness, life, love, recollection, trust

were I gifted
wisdom
sight beyond my eyes –
cards to play
a looking glass unglazed
would e’er there be
a moment
you would come
and I would know
which lines were crossed
as means
for letting go
were I offered
absolution
for every time
I looked beyond
a year began
negated now to loss
a rush of recollection
do you remember
how it was
a breath between
each memory
of us

. . .

places we were one ~

I hated you
I hated me
places we were one
the way my body
listened –
times I should have run
wrapped in my uncertainty
injured by your words
I hated you
I hated me
as every dream unfurled
pages lost to pages
ink spilt blue
black
how may times
a window there –
while I was looking back
hopeful for another
prepared for one more
fight –
a jealous moon
I hated you
for finding me
each night

. . .

across a sea ~

battle, forgiveness, guns, hurt, kiss, loss, proof we were, scars, sorrows, truth, war, we begin at the ending

this scar
defies surrender
a place I met your eyes
across a sea –
nameless
battlefields
with hurts the same
to hurt me now
moments buried
deep –
for every kiss
some other has grown cold
awaiting us another
would clear a life beyond
ending not
as truth we dared
become
this scar
it won’t forgive
the taste of bitter smoke
a war
I’ve not forgotten
took my heart
and claimed
your soul

. . .

the first to fold ~

abundance, forgiveness, gifts bigger than hands to hold, lessons, loss, love, poet, redemption, truth, verse

of sorrows
I have spoken –
not with tears
or sore regret
for every time the leaving left
a heart not broken yet

an ailing porch
and night pulled close
with nothing much to fear
for the sound of love
returning home –
cross miles
and men – and years

the first to fold
of every sin
begged forgiveness come
without the need for telling
would save us –
every one

came the night
by firelight –
and kept the coffee strong
til morning fell
with none to tell –
of righteousness gone wrong

as scattered verse
by prophets cursed
can’t be one to say –
what reasons came for letting go
and not a one to stay

. . .

stutter ~

blessing, forgiveness, home, life, light, love, nature, seasons, sometimes, spirit memory, truth

once
when there was nothing else
I held you –
soft against my stutter
til you became
more of me remembered
than e’er my heart
could hold
quiet as dawn
upon the snow
then I was leaving
o’er and o’er again
leaving you
with everything I ever
knew to be
quiet in the sky
beyond the stars
you waited
til I was gone –
I could hear you
in the pines
in the quiet desperation
of wings against the night
pressed into the ether
my stutter
my surprise
was to find you once again
forgotten why I left
let me stay
remembering the wonder
of why I came
