my head has no say
in these things that I keep
the touch I allow
when the night
falls to sleep
when night birds are restless
I feel with my heart
every sigh
for repeating –
tis a place
where we start
at the eve of forever
where again
we are new
my head has no say
when reaching
for you
my heart still remembers
what my head
can’t recall –
how we loved
past the season
once was ours
once was all
. . .

closer now to heaven than the stars, constellations, heart, life, love, smiles, song, soul memory
there is breath
when slumber takes me –
dreams beyond
this dream
constellations
riddled by the night
there are stars
where nothing glitters
but for memory
of blue –
another time
my wishes all for you
there are words
where none are needed
tracks upon my skin
poetry deciding me
to fate
shadows
where the window sits
open to the sun
touch to fill
the silence
before the morning
comes
. . .

from the end
another started –
a place was ours before
tho pieces have
been lost along the way
neglected to my keeping
trusted far too much
hidden in a box
buried deep
ancient hieroglyphics
carved into these walls
music plays
some nights
to drive me mad
heaven understands
how prayers have gone awry
every plan for getting home –
a flaw
jaded by a promise
to keep my heart for you
cheated by the sounding
of the clock
. . .

age, another time, heart, home, in another life, love, memory, parallel lives, presence, spirit, time, truth, what we keep
in another life
the coffee can wait
time is forgotten
as whiskers
memorize my skin
but I’ll not complain
for fear of less
the wait
to drift between
fragile as these worlds
of might have been
in another life
kids are laughing
you are laughing too
a smile invades your eyes
as I concede
hands reach out
across the day –
a distance not so far
a touch
as I’m reminded
not to leave
in another life
years are past
and still you hold my hand
echoes of a lifetime
nearly gone
folded into letters
tucked against
my heart –
souls are faded
nearly into one
in another life
water falls
blue into the light
my feet are bare
the river cold
as cedars rise above
songbirds sit on branches
familiar as their songs –
silence waits
the welcome of your
love
. . .

save a place
between the pages
a spot where I might lie
a pillow for my rest
your heart
pressed against my thunder
heals a bitter storm
save a place
make a place
wherever you are home
remember only this
was all I needed
all I was
a place
a sweet embrace
against your calm
. . .

was never ours
the fault to keep
for stars once realigned
as others claimed
by wishes
before the dawn could rise
when for a moment
I was rocked
beneath a stand of firs –
braced against your song
against your heart
slower still
the move of hands
to capture everything
a string of lights
across the night –
as fates were
broken free
. . .

I’ve lost track
and recollection
of where I left my keys –
and just last night
I realized I’d forgotten
how to dream
so much
we’ve forsaken
is remembered not the same
the winds are turning
but they still know
my name
I listen for the nightbirds –
so much sweeter than the news
reminding me of other times
and how it hurts to lose
everything I surely needed
like those keys
like my heart
like places we’ve forgotten
how to start
. . .

destiny, get me back, heart, home, it's what I do, life, love, memory, redirection, seasons, time, truth
I’m getting on
with redbud
and whiskey –
somebody told me
a tale
just today
somebody mentioned
a path you’ve been taking –
and I’ve gone
out of my way
to find you
uncertain
on my way here –
a life just beyond
somewhere I knew
I’m getting back
to a time
of beginnings –
to a season held captive
moments
too few
I’ve no regrets
no bitterness wanting –
no plans for another
some other
to find
I’m getting on
with sure redirection –
missing myself
– your heartbeat
with mine
. . .

all I really know, heart, life, love, memory, promise, reminders, soul, spirit, stars, time, truth
will e’er there be
a dream too small –
or warmth left unimagined
as trade for love –
we waited more
than years
as witness
to some other dawn
where once we gave a promise
returning life –
from moments
scattered here
remnants of
a million lights –
stars we called by name
vows we made
ten thousand years
ago
another time
the heart decides
each coming back to love –
reminders of
the only truth
I know
