truth, grace, love, life, time, closer now to heaven than the stars, remembered home

lest that you
remember –
how it was
here in my arms
poetry spilled over
from the past
gleaming like a river
slicing through the pines
choose
as you were choosing
let or beg me stay
fill my cup
with everything you lack

were that
circumstance
be all I ever asked
a place to fall
kinder hurts to grieve
when every vow is spoken
will you believe me
then –
how I came for you
evidence
surviving –
as distant was the life
we chose to leave

. . .

let me stay ~

grace, life, love, passion, starring in your dreams, stars, stay

were I the place
to lay you down –
a valley lush with lace
as quietly a moment
became a cry for grace –
stars for watching over
let me linger
let me stay
tangled in your wilderness
a captive to your pleas
breath without
remembrance –
a fragile destiny

were I the place
to lay you down

getting used to the missing, grace, love, sometimes, still, time, truth

sometimes
i get busy
sometimes a day
or maybe two
pass before
i realize
i’m missing thoughts
of you

there’s been no change
in weather –
predictions
of a jealous moon
moved to retribution
by shadows come
to bloom

the sun has dipped
beyond the trees
where even now –
twilight glows
as fear
remit by silence –
grace
in letting go

. . .

fancy ~

allowance, enough, grace, life, love the only truth, time

The fancy things I like are nine hundred count sheets. Tea cups with matching saucers. And the things I love that aren’t fancy at all: old aprons and hankies. Dirt roads and dirt floors. Forsythia bushes, hardback books of poetry. And I like other things less than those but still; the sticky remains at the bottom of the cherry cobbler dish. The way cats sometimes run sideways. The presence of a rainbow in a puddle of oil. Jelly jars. Pine needles. Wash on a line. The tick-tock of clocks, the blue of the neon sign outside an old motel still open. The fact that there is an old motel still open. ❤

grace, life, love, seasons, some other way to home, time, truth, understanding

from these pages
what is written
will become
of all I am –
words I thought would hold
what’s left of you
from these stories
might you learn
of some other way
I loved –
breath that was
the only way I knew

tears to flood
an ocean –
I sailed into the sun
carried by my longing
with a wish
to understand
the whys for which
you stayed away –
longer lest I grieve
days I rose
to curse
these empty hands

. . .

places I’ve forgotten ~

destined to remember, grace, life, love, soul, time

sometimes
my heart is broken
in the time it takes to bleed
for moments
there –
i can’t see the sun
was surely meant
to resurrect
the memory of us –
another chance
the universe is come

to heed again
my softest plea
aches
I cannot say
I miss the night
dreams it leaves behind
to reminisce
on places I’ve forgotten
how to grieve –
weighted now
in love we’ve yet
to find

. . .

becoming mine ~

becoming, belonging to none, destiny, grace, home, life, love, mystery, surrender, together

how much of you
a part of me –
sands atop
the floor
as blossoms
where the trees have
burned away
how much of verse
is nothing more
than once
you were
and I
was counted back
in syllables
emptied to a page
folded to
a memory
the lineage of truth
someone said
tho I’ll be damned
if I remember why
the road
was less
the day you left
the sun no longer shines
to fill between
the whispers
rusted oak and flesh
how much I have
surrendered
was your breath
becoming mine

. . .

tell me ~

everywhere I am, grace, life, living a better story, love, places we have loved, reminders of me

when last I dreamed
I lay awake
and wandered unto home
the safe and sweet
embrace
once was you
tell me now
some other time
of who you are
and why
you knew my name
before I thought
to love

comfort, grace, heat, home, life, love, passions, seasons, time, truth, winter

e’er i decide
some solace to take
in a memory
ten thousand lives old
in the crush
of winters
pressed to my heat
a fire burning
still
where my heart
used to be

. . .

turned to stone ~

courage, free will, grace, love, sometimes, time, truth, witness

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
