in warmth
where the last of the sunlight
was gathered –
smothering snippets
lay fast by the door
and watched as permission
was given the rose –
fell as a shadow
of breath to the floor

as grace to seclusion
the running around –
as locks almost rusted in two
tasked as a hinge
fell away from the rest
and all that we held
by the passing into

retrieved
from our solace
as mittens and coats
wrapped velvet arms
through our own
choosing the path
so silent – our boots
when met with surrender
in moments alone

becoming to pass
as essence to wind
and breezes to swirl somewhere new
sunlight makes waste
of eternities planned –
as floors
without memory
of someone we knew

in the hush
before waking –
the sweetest of dreams
is spoken
as gold welcomes night –
names find a corner
for keeping our best
weaving a memory
of breath
into light

of the sweet ~

how fragile now ~
this fleeting bliss
was passed
as once before
a kiss

as whispers gifted
words so clear ~
are ringing now
for all to hear

the glory come
from sweet amen ~
forgiveness undeserved
til then

when longing stays
the whole night through
will none forget
the things
you knew

for none can ease
the ache of gone ~
or pay for all
each righteous wrong

would e’er for love
a tear be spared
or moon concede ~
the night to share

don’t worry this
for moments passed ~
as smoke against
a looking glass

as stars made two
upon the sea ~
asleep in nets
of destiny

e’er page confess
this mortal song ~
shall wait my love
but not for long

I am ~

of verses
I can find no place ~
no course of understanding
would still my beat
or bid my breathing slow

nurtured
by my father’s winds
reliving now the promise ~
fell to me
tis something more
I know

tis there beneath
the robin’s wing ~
there atop the rapids
flush with stone
the proof is come to stay

pages
met with pages
lines between the lines ~
would e’er I stand
and will the ground away

breath
as I was opened
face to face
with heaven ~
paradise in everything
I see

bite my tongue
and swell my tears ~
with memory of becoming
a love (as love created)
let there be

of all I know
tis more I feel ~
miracles becoming
stretched beyond the reaches
of our rhyme

of other
places given truth ~
rivers neath me rolling
meet me somewhere
I am now ~
warmed against
the light

…

read me ~

share with me
the warmth that is your
days upon this earth ~
shade my path
and guide my feet to home

lay with me
when nights are chilled
and wake me with your stirring
forsaken not by love
I waited on

tell of me
some other tale ~
and tary with the turning
of pages to the weathered spine
bending unrehearsed

barter not the price
for days ~
far more to one
I cherished ~
sign my name
as practiced once
with yours

the faded face
of memory ~
the plea without the prying
folded more than chance
into the dark
pushed aside as wishes
would this weary heart
reveal ~

read me
til these ancient lights
are gone

know me
as was never known ~
tho sworn there was another
when paths were new
as cool the dusky day

feathers floated from the west ~
eastern this horizon
warmed your breath
as day broke ~

red against the clay

…

no matter what ~

what of my love
wasn’t meant to be whispered
no matter what they might say
of destinies loosed
by the hands of forgiveness ~
let all that I knew
fall away

might truth bear me witness
or time stand me still
years pass and death be my lot
was lonely
my only ~
the one I deserve
of longing shall bury me not

would lay to my burden
the weight of this curse
if ever a fleeting
desire
was sworn me protection
when secrets were shared ~
and I as a vapor to fire

unravel this message
committed as song ~
when given at last my release
mourn not my loss
for one moment more
or beg these inflections to ease

might sorrows be lifted
or verses betray ~
confessions of innocent pen
will love be remembered
always to the past
for touch we have failed
to defend

whatever our reasons
for living returned ~
when wandered to places
unknown
as trusted no other
my whispers to keep ~
eternal these echoes to own

a place on your pillow ~

As softly
I am remembered
to you ~
as a kiss
once your words
claimed to me ~

Found you
in everything new
I am knowing
was less than the places
made free ~

Penned to my memory
buried your sin
and died (every time)
for the love
we begin

I shall leave heaven
a place
on your pillow
and sing while you sleep ~
of waking to dreams

…

forgotten of eden ~

were I a sign
of eternities passing –
planets laid up
on the edge of the yard
quiet so loud
the birds were made silent
as ten thousand songs
and not a one heard

were I the first
of messengers coming
spouting the truth
of yesterday’s news –
lost in the rush
of seekers to follow
and calmed by the promise
of nothing to lose

here lies the lesson
forgotten of eden
as grace undeserved
now fallen away –
warned of the wisdom
all would come after –
of stories rewritten
to lead them
astray

miracles hide
in everyday places
where living we pass
on our way (unaware)
of destinies lost
to the searching of shadows
– unnoticed
the presence of light
glowing there

were I the one
of all to have wandered
out past the place
where secrets are kept
laden with signs
of another beginning –
as eden awoke
in the moments
we slept

colors of goodbye ~

before I was a dream
of yours ~
was given breath to stay
in places
you’ve forgotten
to remember

before the light
I fell into ~
was stirred within your soul
as not much more
than thought
without a name

before the psalm
repeated ~
or as the last amen
a moment there
unguarded
(did you know)

before the sleep
of angels pressed
to claim these years
of dust ~
might heaven hold a truth
you understand

before the rise
beyond the set ~
another dawn awaits
tho melted
as these colors of goodbye

before this end
another starts ~
as love to know again
made dearer
for the lives
we can’t recall

longing to know ~

from places no longer
the one getting by ~
as silver blue veins
trace the will of the wind
and speak of forever
our longing to know ~
like the hush of a whippoorwill
coming to nest
and branches bent over
by the memory of snow

terrapin tea rose
and red scarlet laces ~
were bloomed from the shade
of maple and rye
burdens forgot to the passing
of seasons ~
lives resurrected
as love would not die

red tail renewal
preys o’er the pasture
as swoons for another
a thought passed
between ~
whispers of always
linger as loving
to lie with us down
on a blanket
of dreams

where kept to the memory
of unfinished language
and rest within moments
our reason to be ~
as teardrops fall
on this view of creation
love becomes light
and life ~
destiny

meets me coming back ~

tree lines
bend with shadows –
wrapped in summer fare
honeysuckle
mated with the vine
midnight swirls
of something shifts
backward to the black –
as gentle hands
remembered by the pines

freed again
to living – forgotten
now the ways
and just how cool
the dirt beneath my soles
running til the echo
meets me coming back –
into the place began
so long ago

red birds
raise the corners
and stretch the heavens wide
as waters pool
where beetles
first were seen
as bliss beyond the stillness
wakes to greet the sun –
rivers wash their sorrows
into green

angels sit in envy
for places I have touched
and words of silent meaning
grace my tongue
whispers fly
on pearly wings –
just above the pond
as beautiful
awaiting to become

clover sits
in four leaf sheets
and no one needs to count –
how soft the emerald reach
between my toes –
breezes grace the southern pass
turns beneath the canyon
sings the song
I hear by heart –
the only one I know
