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

how much of fate
was mine to choose
evidence the ways
folded maps –
another truth betrayed
how many stars
were broken
from their path across the night
fell as wishes –
one more turn
at life

what of this
I understand –
how much I learn anew
without a moment here
being loved by you
as wishes wait
a time
a place to be
here the same was I
seeking destiny

. . .

would that I
this moment trade
for lives I’ve yet to know
exchanging fate
for one more ache
than e’er my birth foretold
as lines were crossed
and lines erased –
before
the same was met
fishers where the heart
was sworn to be
warmth where light
became of love –
my favorite
destiny

. . .

morning grace

gathered to place
as souls reconvened
for the purpose
of living –
as love

who we’ve become
in the darkness
it seems –
a people of faith
not enough

I’m guilty
as others –
moreso that some
convincing myself
of my right

but wearing
the truth –
it sleeps with me still
and keeps me from being
a light

leftofme

with sweet regard
a warm caress
can burn a soul in two –
or purge a dream from waking –
near enough
to coming true

catastrophic
tendencies –
tho born of good intent
to make of nothing
something
more –
something more
than this

a stolen kiss
no longer missed
leaves hunger still for more –
surrendered into folly
every love
we loved before

desire to fall ~

reflection

rivers
remember
their way to the sea
swallows by memory
come home
across each beginning
to a time
without name –
how sweet each surrender
to places unknown

backward and onward
upward
set free –
ten thousand lives
to recall
mercy is taken
when all else is lost –
grace in desire
to fall

the edge of forever
but a journey began –
willing our way
to return
stars without memory
of a wish
spoke aloud –
long before night
thought to burn

. . .
