from this
another waits
the story to begin
carried up in shadows
velvet blue
candlelight
and evergreen
somewhere i hear singing
a fluttering
of breast
beneath the truth
a branch
no one could reason
stars to lean upon
i knew you once
did you ever
know my name
who will be remembered
when nothing left
is sure –
when everything so different
feels the same
. . .

would that i grieve
the weight of your voice
the warmth of the sun
in your smile
a breeze of breath
recalled to a sigh
moments
where promise we left
wherever tomorrow
remembers me yours
as rain from the roof
falling down
as sunlight spilt
even now by the barn
and carved
through the pines
a careless goodbye
was never intended
the way
turning home
forgotten how sweet
to arrive
. . .

beyond the pull
of northern lights
a roll of sacred tongue
reminds me now
how far from birth
another birth is come
to take me in
to lift me up
when i’d forgotten how
it felt to love
it felt to fly –
this destiny allowed
with arms to save
from all that was –
tis you
where i belong
tho nights were lost
to slumber –
was for this
i waited on
. . .

for another day
let us be –
lest some other
breath become
of memories refined
a place beyond the sun
where morning wakes
the night
remits
with destinies to grieve
as one
most surely one
our faults to ease
for another touch
every word
suffers my surrender
no way for getting back
for getting home
come this sweet permission
to take
please take of mine
to spare our love –
the only truth
i know
. . .

breath, destiny, divine intimacy, home, life, love, time, truth, what i've forgotten
when i’ve forgotten
where we were
before we knew of us –
wherever hurts
are given time to heal
when i’ve let of each
eternity
scatter to the floor
the ache within my breast –
your voice above
the still
when i’ve forgotten
times before
your breath condensed
with mine
the way your fingers
fell against
my soul
an echo of a promise
bouncing softly
off my skin
the way you speak my name
to bring me home
. . .

destiny, fate, for this, heaven here, home, love, meant to be, memory, somewhere the stars
save for me
a moment here –
before the dawn is come
while still
the night birds
flutter to my breast
wait for me
make for me
as once you dreamed
a life
take your name
from off these hungry lips
suffer my confession
was for this
i came to be
across a million tribes
an angry sea
saved for you
made for you
love i won’t forsake
hands to reach
whisper me
to home
. . .

within these
lonely hands
once your love
permitted –
flush against my breast
do you remember
how it was
the ways we came
to realize
our love
our lowly purpose
when the sky went dark
was for this
you came around
words
beneath an echo
of wings –
a wilderness
pressed into the tender
of my need
do you remember
how it was
the ways we came –
surrender
the winds have died
but lonely hands
they grieve
. . .

how many words
were wasted
in the rush
to get them down
rhyme i thought would save me
never did
years disturbing pages
awaiting verse
to come
poetry –
i knew you from the start
the way you traded
syllables
passions understood
as story memorized –
please tell me
now
where each pause is fitted
a place to hold
it all
the way to feel
everything –
words before the fall
how was i to recognize
your beat
within my own
rhyme i chose
ten thousand lines
ago
Author’s Note: I may be the poet, but you – you are the poem ❤

once before
like this
it was
we waited near to dark
lifting up our prayers
my soul to keep
near it was
to almost
came the sun
one more amen
bruised to find the lesson
of our knees
forgiven to surrender
sure to lay me down
in shadows
where the cross
was just a tree
a canopy of sparrows
bursting full with blooms
rings beneath
the branches
a blessing to receive
heaven sent to find us
graces without end
love became the answer
to our pleas
. . .

i’ve no plea
save one more dream
e’er you slept –
was i the star
that made of all
your wishes true –
that found you
here
remember
i’ve no fear –
my everything
is grounded in your
loving arms
the way my ache
became your lips –
as ageless once
this selfless
kiss
i’ve no words
no means to speak
of days before
or years to be
forgiven now
as we begin
the road to build
of memories
