where are you
when I am here
waiting your
forever
your lips
a warm embrace
around my tongue
your heat
my senses tarry
through the night
a blissful dawn
wrapped in moments
memory
has won
. . .
when I am here ~

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
. . .
paths of clay ~

moonlight glows
ruby red
upon these paths of clay
a giant sleeps
beneath the coming day
dreams are without pardon –
a name upon my lips
reminds me of a lifetime
I surrendered
for a kiss
. . .
another waiting ~

stilled was I
a moment longer
than e’er my tender soul could spare
than e’er my heart
undone by breaking –
could find anew the will to bear
eternities
began and stranded
within the want for one more day
within the swell
of breath surrendered –
as promise come from faraway
a name returned –
from silent keeping
defies the watch of space and time
where once a kiss –
another waiting
as evidence of faith divine
. . .
before the heavens gleamed ~
