of moments
long neglected –
choice to resurrect
a promise made
another day to find
whatever fate
was guided
by permission to arrive
was worth the way
deserted –
in my haste
to make you mine
for every moment
traded
dreams i let to dry
fields allowed to wither
in the sun
paths no longer open
covered disbelief
a night denied
the stars –
i knew you then
. . .

we were here
once before –
no way
to ever doubt it
there was light
that set you burning
a flame
i fell into
we were here
almost forever
the moment i was saved
honest as the day –
the day
we came
no way around
the way you made me
certain
we were here
tho i’ve forgotten
where we ever went astray
i’m forgiving
of the fate
that took you back –
fate that left me searching
for a time
we were here
gathered up in words
we couldn’t say
. . .

so much of me
is held between
the first i was
the last
seasons gone
another leaf to press
spinning once
i thought of you
and how it was you came
to render me
forgotten
to the rest
so much of me
was everything
and you
the one denied
oceans
seas
rivers
someone knew
before was i
you waited
my remembrance
of surrender
just this way
leaving every season
to confess
ages fell between
here am i
as once before –
take of me forever
take of me
the rest
. . .

when once
you were mine
with permission for more
than ever one lifetime
could hold
come back
you forgave me
for times surely gone
live while your love
is still young
wait as i pleaded
another some day
would grant us the grace
of time in this place
allowing my heart
to beat next to yours
wait
and i’ll come back
to find you
stay while my lips
know your name
. . .

brought whiskey from
the cellar
tomatoes nearly green
wrote to you of oceans
caverns filled between
the first i thought to tell you
my love was yours alone
would free you from
the ache of carolina –
arms that feel so empty
have you gone
too far
from where we started
to unravel what was ours
one night we said too much
and fell away
i remember when the truth
succumb to shadow
a reach beyond the place
i prayed
to find you
forgotten every reason
left to stay
. . .

had i nothing
but one more ache –
another poem come of this
ashes swirl beyond the meadow
leaves returning
a golden bliss
silence fills
an almost whisper
breezes brush the tallest pines
remembered not
to indecision –
other worlds where stars align
bid me go
or let me linger –
will this earthly heart to slow
across and back
this everafter –
is home to every
love i’ve known
. . .

she held winter
in her apron –
snowflakes on a string
a touch of something
magic
she restored
seeds of revolution
weary wicked vine –
she bit her lips
whene’er she willed
for more
of distances
too fragile –
love where weeds permit
roses pressed to walls
yesterday
she walked beyond
what made her longing easy –
wanting for another
to wonder why
she came
. . .

of places
I’ve forgotten
the fragile ache of growth
summer tucked inside
my winter shirt
the way snowflakes glimmer
atop the tender bud
warmth that comes
to steal my breath
away
. . .
she leans
against the memory
was once her favored spring
a dress she wore
to rouse him –
from his sleep
beneath
the snow
. . .

of nothing
not much do I have
tho i beg you
to take what you will
go without speaking
let me a kiss
the warmth of your name
still burning
my lips
of boxes
and winters
ten thousand years
i made of my life
one sweet yesterday –
coffee left stains
on the floor
where I knelt
burning my secrets
away
echoes
are scattered
high on a shelf
where once I kept photos
pieces of us
stored without thought
to where we might be –
or how far the stars
still to fall
. . .
