wherever time
is taken us –
whatever fate is come
revealing
destination
in your eyes
i see anew
a way i thought
forgotten to my soul
a path no longer shaded
i allow
a letting be
where silence
was distances perceived
a dawn most surely
gone –
is burning now

. . .

wonder into light ~

story holds
the best of me –
days before you came
counting every
mercy
as goodbye

ferry me
some distance –
had I known you
from the start
years
to shape wonder
into light

touch where
morning lingers
as warmth against
my skin –
let this pleading heart
be satisfied

when age
is counted backward
words beneath
my pen
let me ease
my story
with your sigh

. . .

back to this ~

i wasn’t meant
for waiting –
another sun
some other life
never raced ahead
to find the end
where I began
tis all for me
this mystery
of now
and here we are
floating on an
ancient emerald sea
touching
barely touching
your voice above the tide
fingers tangled
warmth around my own
whispers of direction
as rivers
you are come
back to this –
sweet memory
all I know
of home

. . .

beyond the fence ~

I’ve not much left
to offer –
no farm beyond the fence
golden trinkets
stashed beneath my bed
no aged
name to proffer
or treasure more than this
a hand to hold
a place to lay you
down

I’ve not the will
to suffer –
faith to see you
gone
twilight burned as
fate into the barn
no destiny to barter
give me yours
I’ll give you mine
breath to share
a place to lay you
down

. . .

what only lovers know ~

all I really know, comprehension, forever this, life, love, now, time, truth, understanding

what benefit
is destiny
when all we do is pine
for another life –
another breath
some other choice
divine

a moment come
when words are met –
by a heart that fits
us so
is worth the price
for wanting –
what only lovers
know

there is no time
beyond today –
no break
beyond the trees
where life is lived
apart from here –
as truth resolved
to be

. . .

dawn without remorse ~

before the time
unknowing
the end was not the end
but a means of understanding
where healing
might begin

before the rush of waking
one dream
allowed to be –
fell within the promise
of lost eternities

before the will
longing knew
where our paths would lead
thru gardens of allowance
tendered now to seed

was evermore
a place beyond –
dawn without remorse
were skies forgave the heavens
where lovers love
once more

. . .

every time ~

in this
eternal prism
spun of moments

a new beginning

from whispers ~

these hands

where
beginning
just this now
from roots forgotten fell
to make of weeds
a bushel more
than e’er my lips
could tell
from whispers
once a secret kept
awake most all night long
words I scarce remember
yet my heart
has made to song
where paper fails
shelves
where none are felt
a vault is lined
with buttercups
and lace
linen was my color
more lavender than blue
verse infused
to fill my blood
with you

. . .

for the sake of desire ~

fill me
with moments
I have no regard
for the strength of a diamond –
an untested vow

of urgencies pushed
in the dead heat of night
where soft lies
the sigh
of surrender
tis I

speak not of seasons
where heartache was made
or fields sewn by ash
and dismay
spare me to sleep
for the sake of desire
the promise of rest
in your
arms

shush
there’s no need
to complain
of the time
tis nothing worth wasting
by name

this everafter
is all I can give
speak not of morning
til then

. . .
