a whisper of remember me ~

when all I’ve left
is wishes –
a breath of sweeter days
the memory of a star
now burned away
when life is slipped
beyond the reach
of all I cared to dream
will find you there –
a song I dared
to sing
as daylight fades
to sapphire –
hands are folded so
when the earth is hard
every kiss is cold
a whisper
of remember me
shall rest beyond the pines
to fall as dew
each morning –
as snow
come wintertime

. . .

forgotten ~

when I’ve forgotten
how it was –
to want for something more
when years are passed
will I no longer
wait along
your shore

when I’ve forgotten
everything –
I thought I knew of love
will then I write
the same as I do now

of verses
met with kisses –
scars where touch was burned
dreams I lived
with evermore to learn

the ways of you
the ways of us –
embers to ignite
a blue I can’t remember –
stars betrayed
to life

. . .

turned blue ~

when the dust
is all but settled –
and ashes have turned blue
where’re the rivers rise
I’ll come for you
before the stars are taken
before the dawn is crest
when mountains turn their faces
on the sea
one word
my heart will carry
one flame into the dark
where souls await
a coming back for more
I shall tarry
with that sweetness
with not a want for breath
e’er another life
erase your
memory

. . .

beyond the dream ~

do you hear, dreams, love, poetry, sometimes, soul, still, time, touch, words

sometimes
a whole day passes
and I am left the same –
no less than words would bury
a shadow of me remains

some nights
I fear the crying
of night birds on the rise –
thought is splintered into rhyme
and I dare not close
my eyes

sometimes
I wake beyond the dream
where there’s no proof of us –
no morning I might trade again
for the memory
of your touch

it’s not the same
we’re not the same
as once we were a longing filled
it seems my mind has forgotten –
what my soul
remembers still

. . .

more than this ~

for more than this
my kiss would wait
my soul would plead
some other –
beginnning
just beyond
the darkest veil

with open arms
of take me home –
a whisper
of deliver
returned again –
to a heart
that loved you
well

. . .

beyond our own ~

blessing, closer to forever than the stars, eternity, home, light, love, memory, nearer, remembering, soul, truth, witness

just beyond the branches reach
beyond the furthest light –
I remember well a reef
of diamond shards –
a single arm reaching out
into the vast unknown
cradled as we were
against the stars

waters swirled around us
sands were washed away –
oceans fell their sorrows
at our knees
poetry was written
with ne’er a thought to rhyme –
carried by the tide
into the sea

the moon was still our friend
embers before dawn –
angels wept for worlds
beyond our own
traces of eternity
still shine beyond the trees –
awaiting our remembrance
to be known
