had I nothing
but your silence
your warmth within the night
I’d worry not for water
deny my need for more
than your breath
where I am hungry –
words where I
have none
. . .
nothing but your silence ~

I will search
on fertile banks
where marigold is nestled
startled by the rivers
loyalty
I shall reach
for tiny crescents
buried by the sand –
in broken trusts
twisted with my hair
I will wait
as I have waited
for the time
to find you there
did I tell you once
of paths I roamed
unknowing
with a dream
suffered want unholy
to dream again –
I shall wait
as nights
beyond the wandering
in places
I have feared
in afternoons
where sunlight comes
to play
. . .
let me ~

a name upon my lips, blessings in sorrow, burdens, come around some sunday, comfort, divine truth, intimacy, moments, protector, stars
let me mend the part
which hurts the most –
and love where needed best
let me whisper
when no other vow will do
let the essence of my promise
be enough to calm your soul
when I speak of love
you know I speak
to you
let me ease whate’er
needs easing –
let me bear what dreams can’t keep
I will hear without you saying –
I will feel what I can’t see
let me take of all
and take some more
whate’er you have to lose
I will guard the night you sleep beneath
and brave the stars
for you
. . .

she lingered
as a presence –
a prayer
before the dawn
as the music
of her sighs
became his song
he lingered
with each twilight –
without fault
she dared repeat
– as a kiss
became a memory
just as sweet
twas never less
for letting –
love remains
as proof we are
where she lingers
still he lingers
as a light
between the stars
. . .
holy traces ~
02 Thursday Apr 2020
Posted in Poetry, spirituality
feelings tethered –
tied to blessing
leaving holy traces there
long removed
yet still becoming –
what shall be
of all we bear
I wonder still
of ways we came –
dirty roads
and back to home
from the start
always returning
for what is gathered
to the soul
pages gift
from one another
story made
of witness shared
how we lived
is how we tarry
kept in moments –
everywhere
. . .
one more yesterday ~

sometimes
the right of not quite fair
is more than I can carry –
the wrong
of who decided
when and where
the road would lead –
dreams would snare
the tired soul from slumber
would years reward
the wanderer
with one more yesterday
a kiss
denied the keeping –
touch
by time erased
paths we took
unknowing
of the coming back
to grace
. . .
a secret passed in dying ~

I won’t wait
the evening brush
of clarinet to fiddle –
I won’t deny your leaving
for some other
grace undone
they say
for one
another waits
beyond the rest –
a sweeter sun
yet I have yet to understand
how deep the burn ignites
through it all
a whispered sigh
was a secret passed in dying
dare I wait the coming back –
for the sweet embrace
of light
here –
and I
some other day
will recall the truth
this life betrayed
ten thousand loves –
as trade for one
ten thousand breaths
in flight
. . .
in the still before counting ~

in the still
before counting –
the breeze
once a sigh
ashes
leaves
falling down
did we find
our redemption –
a silent retreat
once remembered
can ne’er be
unknown
from a moment
of light
is a flickered
permission –
sparks unto flame
unto stars
lighting the darkness
filling our night
was the place
we were found –
to begin
. . .
years from where we started ~

before as now
the same as then –
do you remember where and when
the world was new
but so were you
awake to
understanding
afraid and stilled
at finding truth
was never meant to lessen youth
or ease the heart
tho torn apart –
resolved the soul
to hurting
only love
can calm the storm –
years from where we started from
reminders of a time before
calling us to love once more –
cured only by
the aching
. . .
first violin ~
22 Thursday Mar 2018
Posted in Poetry
I wonder
were there rhapsodies
ten thousand years before –
voices meant to carry
across a canyon floor
were there strings
before the bow could sing
an older violin
did dancers sway
in firelight
before the dance began
before the words
came willing
were there whispers
all along –
thought already yielded
unto song
before the books
were written
did lovers understand
the promise held
within another’s hand
the crush of
two hearts beating
as shadows gathered round
a sweeter song
unfolding
without sound
did they know
before the knowing
before their first goodbye
did music stream
unnoticed
like stars
above the night
as violins
of welcome in
were played
then played again
as tender sighs
fell silently
to skin
. . .
