change, lazy mornings, letting go, life, loss, love, regret, starting here, truth

how many
the maps i’ve forgotten
to save
memory clings to my skin
jealousy burned
with longing forsaken –
a time just beyond
my leaving again
did you know
i was going –
did your heart
miss a beat
at the sight of my
dreams lying cold
on your bed
boots worn
soft by your tears
do you remember
the sunday
you spoke of regret
of ways i would come
to find you
were gone
of paths you neglected
one saturday woke
to find our desires
were no longer
the same

. . .

things you’re not ~

allowance, forgiveness, grace, letting go, love, time, trust

never worried
for the leaving –
fences broken
(should i care)
for days
beyond the harvest –
without want
to meet us there

no fated
circumstances –
would have me leave
the gate ajar
had i known
you were missing –
i might have wondered
(where you are)

had i slept
beneath the window –
beside a memory of us
washed my sheets
til they surrendered
the world
our dreams (forgot)

nights
became
a bed of whispers –
trading truths
i couldn’t hold
tempted wings
unfurling presence
across the spring
(across the snow)

. . .

reasons to leave ~

disappointment, grief, letting go, loss, love, memory, stars, time, truth

screen doors bang
disappointment –
as hearts rediscover the void
hands disconnect
as words tumble down –
like rain from
bucket
tears from a sieve
who I am now
to understand this
how you came to remember
all the reasons
to leave

. . .

seventeen and falling ~

by home another way, letting go, life, love, memory, returned, time

once before
i grieved your loss
seventeen
and falling
were home a way –
i’d find you
just the same
tucked between
the shadows
waiting
open arms
a memory
of memories –
reclaimed

make of me
tomorrow
strip my longing
bare
map the constellation
of my soul
steal my heart
take my breath –
claim
this sacred land
cleave of me
every truth
I know

. . .

dreaming

I’ve not the strength
to question
or the will
to quite let go ~
patience of a sinner
or a saint
without the faith
for moving
not much
stands in my way
just a trust
to know
tomorrow
won’t be the same

. . .

turn turn ~

all we've known to love, destiny, divine surrender, goodbye is never gone, letting go, life, truth

carry me over
one bridge at a time
back to the moment
your hand reached for mine
backward in motion
deliberate ease
swept in your arms
like the tide

carry me forward
one breath at a time
into forever
we knew not to wait
on destiny turning
remembering well –
the rush of the waves
the crush
of goodbye

. . .

beyond your name ~

easy as I, home, letting go, life, love, missing, poetry, that thing I do with a pen, time, touch

sometimes it hurts
more than words –
than e’er a poem
would want confess
I find a joy
in grieving
that moves my soul to rest
to say goodbye
letting go
but for my heart
I might be gone
down the ways
beyond your name
beyond the pull of home
beyond the want
of evermore –
the memory of touch
leaves are falling
storm clouds
into dust

. . .

every time ~

another time, faith, letting go, life, love, memory, time, trust, truth, understanding

gulf tides 2019

for every time
you left me
beneath a cobalt sky –
was another
when you taught me
how to fly

for every hurt
I carry –
a memory of trust
another place
awaited –
just for us

for every chance
worth taking –
were nights I grieved alone
– yet love is all
I really need
to know

for every sigh
another fell –
moonlight to my skin
for every time
I found you here –
I let you go
again

. . .

pretty liars ~

confession, forgiveness, it's what I do, just like this, letting go, lies, life, love, lovers, truth becoming, wait, words, writing without rhyme

holythis

I’ve been a saint
been a sinner –
a fury raged
against the page
I’ve found love
and sure forgiveness
suffered me
the will to wait

of all the others
come before you –
count me blind
I’ve known my share
of pretty liars
so familiar –
enough to bury
deep somewhere

. . .

once to come ~

another time, home, letting go, life, love, memory, reasons, remembrance, spirit, spring, time, truth, winter

breath (2)

I asked you once to come –
when winter was melted
as petals pushed forward
to remember
the home
I described for you
in the silver convergence
of dreams

I asked you come
to stay beyond
leaving
one more time
to hold me together
through another
letting go

I asked you to come
but now –
recalling
has lessened the reasons
for wanting you here
when spring
is returning
– and the winter
so fond in remembrance
has left me
to go

where once I begged you
to come
