were not for once
you wondered
who I was
and why I came
from places
long imagined
but never said
aloud
in passing –
lest your fingers
be tempted by the red
to begin
an undertaking –
an explorer
undecided where to land
how many streams
for crossing
might delay
your sweet return
to a place
you had forgotten
how to be

. . .

permission to begin ~

bringsmeback

there’s a place
beyond the dreaming –
a distance
not so far
beyond the pond –
beyond the oldest star

a place
become of verses
scripted unto skin –
whispers with
permission
to begin

as gifted
names to carry –
an almost sacred breath
forever
binds this fragile heart
to death

tis truth
tho somewhat fleeting –
as the measure
of a sigh
– promise
without cause
to wonder why

yesterhere

confused
by a promise
I’ll come back to find you
warm as a whiskey –
slow let me learn
of moments made sweeter
of a morning
left broken –
to memories scattered
let me return

to a time
I was willing –
and there you were welcomed
as shadows to dancing
whispers goodbye
telling of dreams
red swirling sunlight –
a cascade of reasons
for your hand
holding mine

. . .
