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

i shall wait
past the leaving –
far beyond the night
when dust
finds the moon
i shiver
sometimes
to remember the way
you surrendered
my name
in the dark
before dawn stirred to life
seventeen
i was then
when i loved
you the first
i shall wait
past the waking –
for years yet to be
til eternity comes
as a voice
on the breeze
to remember me home
to arms
opened wide
i shall wait
for a lifetime –
this moment
to find

forgive
the way i drift –
when swimming in your eyes
forever tempts
and i have lost my way
forgotten how it was
said i’d never love you more
take my heart
steal my breath away
forgive of me
my timing –
there’s none of me to spare
let these arms remember
how to love you
everywhere
the soul is spent
before the years –
another moment gone
grieve me not tomorrow
grant me one
last sun

. . .

still to breathe ~

had i lingered
here
a lifetime more
than e’er a soul
could stay –
beyond the fall
of circumstance
ashes
have turned grey
had i waited you
and you for us –
how long
might we have been
permitted this
surrender –
a place we start
again
another name
some other kiss –
fate might steal
or loss to grieve
a hand to hold
against the fold –
reminders still
to breathe
. . .

venus made nest ~

what was left
of the creek
has turned into dust
(was here
i once held up the night)
was right here
beside you
covered with dew
assessing the stars
(wishes in flight)
was heaven this close
(i scarce can recall)
how sweet was your love
on my skin –
venus made nest
in a handful of curls
words seeking silence
again
(and again)
tell me once more
how swiftly the waves
to carry us far
from this place where we lay
how cool were
the oceans –
(created from dust)
to hold what was left
(to the story)
of us

. . .

before the time of you ~

where was i
remembered –
as dew along the path
mosses where only briar grew
a slave to my intention
guarding passion
like a salve
was only me –
before the time of you

remembered us
the best of us
rust
as solace shared
let me be
hold me near
to places you are broken
the scar i gave
i didn’t mean
was anguish letting go
where rocks have grown
to fill the path
we know

another day
remembered me
for every promise made
glimmers of forever
signs before you came
let me be
honor me
with places you adore
a dream you shared
one summer night –
stilled my heart
for more

your touch
a trace of madness
stories sure to tell
empty skies
purple ribbon mornings
stars we plucked from rivers
as they fell
beyond our sight
was there i found you
waiting
carving shadows
into light

. . .
