knewmewhen

for a while
it seems
the rain has come –
to wash away the river
sands beyond the banks
on which we lay
another time
of leaving you –
how it was that way
to find us here
no longer now
the same

for ages
I was waiting –
and still you stayed afar
to wonder
did you know
how could you know
there were roads
no less forgotten
 somewhere weeds to grow
around this bed
blue within your smoke

one more lie
to listen –
save your favored time
rush ahead –
to claim this touch
divine
of worlds
I have no vision
beyond this one we make
dream me now
and I will stay
awake

. . .

remembered not to passing ~

longing

stories wait
the telling –
as solace binds the soul
light is rent in service
to our will
a secret rarely uttered
sleeps with us the night
longing for a time
to hold us still

became of this
our faith returned
when all the rest was lost –
delayed my breath
 to rob this verse
of rhyme
remembered not
to passing –
or universes crossed
 beholding to a promise
so divine

another day
some other life
a change to all we’ve known –
as carried I
your touch beneath
my sleeves
 a history rewritten
shall follow me the dawn –
 your heart
is beating somewhere
I can’t see

. . .

returning me this way ~

nottoofar

traces mark the ways
I came –
rings around the bark
flowers here
I planted yesterday
what passions I’ve surrendered –
haunt this mortal ground
– whispered wind
returning me
this way

letters writ
a lifetime more –
ageless as their love
to sweat against the verses
every line
fingers rubbed a shade
of blue –
seeking still to claim
remnants of a story
more than mine

last I heard
of not much left
was buried somewhere south
below the line of parting
would you care
for promise lost –
except for these
I’ve kept them every one

the road is gone
and dreams won’t take me
there

. . .

different looking back ~

longwayhome
  . . .

morning fits
with amber hues
her memory of night –
of places left
beyond the reach of dreams
where stories fell in secret
pages brittle bound –
light was lost to
moments
burned between

longing wakes
before the sun –
pulls the covers round
til supper is grown cold
and windows black –
living tends to hurt
the least
dying feels so wrong –

time
– it seems so different
looking back

. . .

tomorrow come ~

somewherestillwe are
beyond
the world’s indifference
stars are sworn to light –
as dragonflies
along my window sill
reminders of another once
you held me here this way –
quiet spread
– and all the rest
was still

sacred
as surrender
as one your wilderness –
were storms to pass
tho I be unafraid
of what might be tomorrow come
a mystery resolved –
a sorrow
cleaved apart
by plans we made

wait
another life
for me
within these halls confessed
lest parting be
the promise that you need
beyond the edge of circumstance
now we are again –
find me
in your seeking –
destiny

. . .

how sweet the coming back ~

desguised graces

of stones
four hundred more
than mine –
the path to you was traded
forsaken as the sin
that held me here

to know you
as I knew you well
how sweet the coming back
became of longing –
one more passing
near

became a story
told by hands –
silence has her way
of folding into
destinies the same

were places I’d forgotten
how the hell
you made me feel
years have gone
and taken me
to blame

where are you
what words are come
what taste is on your lips
as truth to lie awake
beyond your will

the leaving
makes a deeper cut
than e’er the welcome home
arms have waited lifetimes
to be filled

. . .

within the knowing ~

asIamknown

far beyond
the aching branch
stars are watching now
as line by line
touch by touch
we learn
to live within the knowing
we’ve questioned
all our lives
nightbirds wing
our whispers
to the dark

. . .

hereandstill

for lack of words
longing fits
a favored pair
of mittens –
– essence born
of places I am known
for lack of faith
I swear I’ll do
whatever now is needed
– to run ahead
wherever time
is gone

were only this
the falling out –
and there
your need for talking
else silence
roll against me
in the dark
spirits shy
before the light
of evening on forever
words are lost
to wonder where
you are

. . .

whereIstarted

whiskey
warmed in jelly jars
recipe for passion
as round
these golden embers –
flame restored
came as light from
ancient skies
memorized my lines
and rocked away
the night
outside my door

bring to me
your verses –
letters never sent
maps to mark the ways
we swore to find
close your eyes
forgetting me
let us go – the wiser
eternity at fault
for seeking
rhyme

quiet has no place
to keep –
colors crease the dark
as whispers
take the shape
of falling stars
hid within your worry
pressed into your need –
stories leave
by windows
left ajar

. . .

elder lawns ~

redemption

cherry blossoms
all but gone
april sans the park
where showers came
of lilac
shady elm

thinkers
cursed
with dappled light
wrapped in cause
for worth
meditation traded
on a whim

of strategy
as plan devised
journeys
without master
of ancients slid across
and back
this way

grey and withered
someone once
was traveled from the city
with need for more –
a time
I couldn’t stay

benches cry
of hasty weight
of hours come to measure
a falling down
another getting up

awakened
elder wisdom
to sit upon the lawn
with those who’ve learned
to catch
the setting sun
