oncewasme

purple gauze
and great big plans
incense burning hotter –
for ways into the past
we’d never come

sworn to meet
though who knows how
or when the time
for leaving
the universe
remembered us
this way

leaning long
outside the door
offering surrender
I fall again –
whene’er I say
your name

gypsy moth
is swimming
in echoes we’ve forgotten
light is balanced
soft against my sin

then as now
a moment here –
and how was I to ever
think another lost
was never gone

lie again
within my reach –
swirl in day old coffee
forever once
we waited –
another breath to come

. . .

somewhere I ~

yesterday's leaves

in the space of time
– an evermore –
of beauty so divine
as heaven wills –
a moment
I become

witness to
ten thousand lives
walking through
to more –
stooped to pick a flower
from the place
I loved
before

when life was choice
returned to breath –
far more than hands
could hold
tis there remains
the music
– of my one
eternal soul

colors
few would notice
names I dare not say –
fields no longer flourish
as my paths are
worn away

recall me
as the meadow
where daylight came to burn –
held within
the rhythm of the moon

somewhere stars
are waiting –
as a wish made long ago
– lanterns strung
across the darkest night

reserve my ways
for longing
in a place not yet began
a faraway
made sweeter –
by my stay

. . .

returned ~

immortality_by_baroquedoll-d3ia1jm

now and then
a moment glows
flush against the sun –
burning through the places
once you lived
blazing through your windows
ashes raining down
setting sheets to fire –
a fan to flames

now and then
another birth
and I’m restored to love
within a choice
would will the past undone
fragile as the curtains raised
sweet upon the day
scattering my sins
into the night

now and then
forgotten here
the taste of other names
tho sometimes
I’m assured
they linger still –

a voice beneath my silent tongue
singing me to flight
times before
returning –

every now
and then

. . .

folded ~

faith

fit to my story
your fondness for words
as tender the telling
another becomes
of where
we are now –
stilled in our knowing
the weight of the light
unburdened
by love

where on the map
show me the reasons
were crossed
as light made its way
to the black
grow me an orchard
seeded by passions –
already you know
(it shows in your smile)

where you go –
I am going
why you came –
I can’t say
but for means of the story
and chapters
retraced

by your breath
on my shoulder
where words are no use
winters made less
by ways –
I’m to wonder

of where
might the chapters
be written tonight
when flush to the willing
of one moment more –

your story is folded
(so sweet)
into mine

. . .

gentle lines ~

signswhat of ways
I cannot change
a place before is still
what fool to think
the past
is ever done

stirs to life
a chilly night
wakes me up at dawn –
watches from the mirror
in the hall

of all I am
the more I will
be stilled by love endeared
beyond the silken shade
of raven rails

of names
that move my heart to swell
flush my eyes to tear –
memories of life
the river rolls

forever heregentle lines
retracing
across a many mile –
verses once I wrote
and gave away

age returns the seeker
to the place
where truth began –
flush against a baby’s breast
one day

written there
  to stories –
every sorrow
  every kiss – the future
blooms in petals
of the past

what of ways
I cannot change
a place before is still
what fool to think
the best
is ever gone

beyond the scars
of venus –
I find you there each night
beneath the pines
along some silver shore
wearing names
I never knew –
(cept for one I keep)
 there we live
 as there we love
the more

for every life
was passed between
for every word unsaid
tides are breaking –
echoes spill the dark
as comfort o’er the longing
for one more day (or two)
leaves are falling
(rainbows)
 souls into the light

beyond and still
within this realm
where dreaming (my embrace)
time is but a fleeting
thought to be
guarded by my pillow
worn the blankets mute –
cedars rise
(as altars) to the sea

of sweet abode
(o tender mine)
tis not so far away
could measure less
the countless times I’ve known
recalled to life
another there –
beyond the reach of tides
stars (forgot to shining)
still carry me
to home

. . .

from here ~

from here

from the first
I knew of loving –
was a truth
I swore to find
cowboy boots
and hand me down
sheets hung on the line

amazing grace
and one more taste
of night
before the dawn
promise poured to places
rarely seen
finger painted fortunes
prophets tell about –
heaven waits confession
of our dreams

a star or two
you never knew –
the universe from here
come the flame
I know by name
when nights are cold
and clear

melody of mandolins
as fireflies are spilled
– lanterns
glowing gold above the fields
wishes made
for more than time –
mapping worlds beyond
a compass pointing
gently to our need

take my hand
the water’s cold
the rocks just close enough
to memorize creation
in a fallen
constellation

– as seekers trace
the light to know
our love
…

you remember ~

trusted

on the wake
of eternity
blue casts a shadow
where time keeps the past
without room for restraint

poised on the page
of sweet revelation
of all that I am
but a handful of grain

so tell me
your stories
write of the reasons
and who held your sorrows
to light for a while

of voices returning
by way of the bark –
and paths cleared anew
by the wild

thrill me with tales
of mysteries starting
books without words
and stars
without place –

of night owls
and herons
nesting as one
in a strange yellow bush
by your gate

tell me you’re leaving
but hold me just once
the way
(you remember)
to keep

I’ll build a fire
at the edge of the night
a reminder of time
‘lest eternity
sleep

. . .

wishes blown ~

together gone

almost gone
the clover died
in one last dream
of heaven
and wrapped his chilly legs
around a sigh

waiting
as the autumn winds
were blown across his cap
and dried into
a fated hesitation

of one more time
of wishes blown
summer to his side
and gathered round his wools
for wandering

left to lie
in pastures
where the cattle know
his name –
stars are set
into the face of god

. . .

where they fell ~

i_will_find_a_way_by_A_l_a_s_s_e_a

were asked
I can’t remember
the colors of the day
or what I knew before
of what remains

was Tuesday
and the skies so blue
I can’t recall another
felt the same
when flush against
my soul

were moments
but a moment gone –
eternities decided
as fingers brushed
across a great
divide

planets moved
(or did they)
who can really say
where the stars awaited –
where they fell

forsaken by
the choice to be –
where one
the other started
taken as the vapor
into flame

were asked
I can’t remember
the color of the night
or what became
of where I left
my heart
