but for moments
of surrender –
silence spun to word
hidden from the darkness
I remain
gathered as a moth
velvet wings aloft –
floated by a dream
into the flame
. . .
by a dream ~

along the way
Christmas twinkles
in strings of red and green
starlight scattered
softly o’er the snow
and in the face
where once the moon
remembered why we came
angels tip their
golden wings
below
silence spills
o holy night
and I am lost for words
to ease the ache
I find in everything
days my heart has worried
are taken back again
by One who waits
the evening bell
to ring
. . .

tho I can’t swear
to each remembrance –
to what is truth
and what is mine
longing whispered into shadow –
became a prayer
of love resigned
I can’t say
of wonder started –
how much more the heart
can feel
of destinies
recorded –
burden wished
from moments here
I’ve no proof
beyond this silence –
which flutters soft within my ear
what remains
of truths unspoken –
promise
I alone
can hear
. . .

lines I never wrote ~

from time to time
I reminisce
o’er lines
I never wrote
truths I dared not share
tho no less true
longing spilled to pages
meant for gentle eyes –
an open heart
with space enough
for two
worthless rhyme
you know me now –
with nothing
left to say
poems stacked in boxes
cupboards tight
love betrayed to silence
grieves the dying word –
an empty page
and evermore
to write
. . .
one more destiny ~

would that your heart
remember us this –
asleep neath a blanket of night
dreaming our days
as atonement for touch
– burned into memory
hushed by the sight
of ten thousand ancients
falling around –
moonlight kissing the ground
I will know you the same
in places afar –
as sure was your love come for me
held to a moment
we lit up the dark –
and willed for a moment
one more destiny
. . .
mornings like this ~

my heart’s
gentle strumming
wakes me at two –
with reminders of all
I had meaning
to do
early
as daybreak
evening did fall
and I like a sinner –
brought down
by it all
as I lay awake
dreaming
a smile finds my lips –
prayer
saved for mornings
like this
. . .
wading ~

whisper
of an ancient tide
I pulled you from the sea
on winter sands
we laid our plans –
before the moon denied
the sweet embrace
of storm to lace
remember
do you feel
the lure of waters
wading
back into the deep
where once you found me
drowning
near shores you dared
to dream
. . .
stories of a life ~

had morning woke
before I did –
stumbled from his lair
maybe he’d make coffee
in my stead
lounge about the kitchen
watching from the still
where daylight poured a runway
down the hall
maybe he’d fix breakfast
and serve it to me warm
with stories of a life
beyond my bed
at ease within the silence
of moments left to share
quiet as a shadow –
as verses
on the wall
. . .
