whatever this
ache was meant
to steal away my joy
i will not stay
i will not lend
my heart
to break (for less)
than love that bears
the scars i wear
love that knows me well
i will not fall
(not far)
i will not let you
hurt me now
whatever this
were not for love
came to be
my truth
love i thought i knew
(i didn’t know)
when measured from a moment
bridges fell
(bridges burned)
before i knew how much
of love
remained (of me)
to learn

stars to lean upon ~

from this
another waits
the story to begin
carried up in shadows
velvet blue
candlelight
and evergreen
somewhere i hear singing
a fluttering
of breast
beneath the truth
a branch
no one could reason
stars to lean upon
i knew you once
did you ever
know my name
who will be remembered
when nothing left
is sure –
when everything so different
feels the same

as the last
constellation
brushed into light
planets not yet given
to name
as weeds tangled over
the barbs of our past
I want you
to love me
that way

as a three quarter moon
oceans obey
souls coming back
for a kiss
as the memory of sparrows
sailing to home –
I need you
to love me
like this

like a wild
tameless river
split through the pines –
canyons carved
to the sea
pebbles and seashells
left to our wake
with reckless abandon –
love me

rhyme to waste ~

whatever words
you hold of mine
suffering to bear
confessions of a saint
– deepest praise

recompense
for shadows –
dancing on the wall
whispers of surrender
falling now

verse to bind
rhyme to waste –
the place
where love begins
witness to a sigh –
breath becoming
skin

whatever words
you keep of mine –
whatever fate is come
stretched to span
eternity –
saved for us
the one

. . .

would that i grieve
the weight of your voice
the warmth of the sun
in your smile
a breeze of breath
recalled to a sigh
moments
where promise we left
wherever tomorrow
remembers me yours
as rain from the roof
falling down
as sunlight spilt
even now by the barn
and carved
through the pines
a careless goodbye
was never intended
the way
turning home
forgotten how sweet
to arrive

. . .

everything somewhere ~

sacred divine
moments made over
left with a note
by the gate
tell me again
how long you are leaving
how near
to returning
this missing of late
like promise
made real
as everything
somewhere
out past the creek
rolling in green
remember me now
a vow of surrender
aligned me with stars
with wishes unseen
caught in my hair
do you remember
me now
some sacred divine
with permission
to stay
a lifetime to prove
as a matter of fate
write me a letter
tell me a story
how long are you leaving
how much more
shall i wait

. . .

beyond the pull
of northern lights
a roll of sacred tongue
reminds me now
how far from birth
another birth is come
to take me in
to lift me up
when i’d forgotten how
it felt to love
it felt to fly –
this destiny allowed
with arms to save
from all that was –
tis you
where i belong
tho nights were lost
to slumber –
was for this
i waited on

. . .
