were there moments
strung together –
webs between the lights
eternities
we gathered home
to dust
for another
once I wandered
out beyond the sense
of light –
forsaking of the magic
that was us
. . .

she said
I can’t get back there
without a map
without a plan –
I need to hear a promise
now and then
he said
the only thing I own
is the memory of more
where empty arms
wait for you
again
she said
it sounds so simple
but where am I to start
with permission just this once
for letting go
he said
I wish I had the words
I’d tell you how I feel –
there’s nothing here
but everything
you know
she said
is love forsaken –
with want for a guarantees
when all I need from you
is all you are
he said
I’ll make it easy –
and wait out on the porch
from there into my heart
is not that far
. . .
Author’s Note: Years ago, I co-wrote a piece “Conversation”. I believe
it might have won a ribbon or two. But more than that, it made me realize
the “whole other world’ that exists within two. ❤

in the still
that is your morning
do you drift on yesterday
as your coffee cools –
do you linger
for a while
with pieces
oft forsaken –
tho sharp the edges be
do they steal your breath
and leave you
with a smile
sometimes
my best intentions
are just reminders of the past
daylight spun to corners
in my mind
til the lure
of presence binds me –
to the place where living waits
tethered by a moment
of divine
. . .

was once
do you remember –
a moment much the same
we tracked the stars
and answered back
their names
traded
every secret –
but for another
fate to curse
even now I can’t recall
who was first
years and
everafters –
span a life
of might have beens
places we were one –
now again
come the burn
of red horizons
met with darkest coal –
stars against the heaven
of my soul
. . .

when comes the end
and I’ve no reason
for keeping time
this way –
no choice of words
I might have said
given one more day
no space allowed
no higher road –
than this already run
when comes the dawn
I’m without rhyme
– verses
left undone
what then shall I
when without voice –
tell of love I knew
what words will I
surrender –
when I remember you
. . .

I’ve heard tell
you can’t go back
to a place beyond remembrance –
a story never yours
never will
I cheated
each surrender –
sometimes without regard
to worlds I left
another
standing still
with fortunes
undecided
by a kiss I scarce recall
– a jealous moon
seeks payment
for a kiss
I am all
as I am nothing
lines across your brow –
a moment spared
for every one
I missed
. . .

should forgiveness be
the river –
keeping us apart
might words become
a comfort more
than lonely to the dark
empty arms
and sleepless nights –
dreams by shadows filled
windows to another life
beyond this standing still
moments wait
another sun
without the weight of days –
memory denied the fault
that holds the heart
at bay
as silence seeking solace
echoes down the hall –
years have left us
souvenirs –
we can’t reach at all
. . .

will fate decide
the coming back
familiar though it seems
to find anew your hand in mine –
trading words for rings
how surely now
my heart is stilled
by the thought of letting go
longing wears a favored gown –
becoming all
I know
a fleeting smile
and lifetimes fade –
at the memory of your face
moments cleft from heaven
are evidence
of grace
. . .

you were the color of truth
in a black and white world –
bloom to a blanket of weed
the warmth of September
toasting my skin –
an answer
to every need
you were the first cool breath
freed from the river
a comfort when dark pressed around
a shadow of sparrows
high in the trees –
waiting our time
a reminder of song
you are my thought
at the end of remembrance
when all is forgotten –
love will remain
whispered aloud to the stars
– warming my kiss
with your name
. . .

what of this –
a sure reminder
of all that’s gone
now come again
weightless dreams
ten thousand summers
– wishes carried
on the wind
for one more day
one more season –
another time
when this one ends
daylight falls
across the meadow –
to bless the place
where we begin
