was never ours
the fault to keep
for stars once realigned
as others claimed
by wishes
before the dawn could rise
when for a moment
I was rocked
beneath a stand of firs –
braced against your song
against your heart
slower still
the move of hands
to capture everything
a string of lights
across the night –
as fates were
broken free
. . .

now and then
I dare remember
all I wanted from the start
a beginning
without ending
a quiet flutter of my heart
it seemed so simple
in the wishing –
one night beneath the stars
as I stood atop the rafters
flanked by jupiter
and mars
without names
or constellation –
but a time to find again
someone come
at once familiar –
warm as blood
beneath my skin
for a moment
I did wonder
of the nights
to pass between
drawing near unto forever –
as a destiny unseen
by a girl
not so different
than ten thousand more
you’ve known
born of want –
another summer
when you made a wish
your own
. . .

take of breath
my last surrender –
cleave these tired hands
tell me now of promise
never meant
to understand
when nothing else
is mattered going –
will you watch
or dare you stay
skin to skin
beat to beating –
one more leaving
held at bay
roads were lost
but I won’t let them
take of these
the best I am –
burn the house
and clear the pasture
life will live
love will last
beyond these dreams
of temporary
things I have not voice
to tell
nights beyond
the reach of morning
heaven split
the realms of hell
take me home
tempt not slumber –
by the taking
of places
they grieve for me
now
. . .

on this sweltering dawn
I stand barefoot on a narrow step
looking out through eyes
blurred by emotion
seeking an unknown part of my past
a place I must have known
would find me here
with no one yet to answer
but for me
the purple buds are tempted
another week to stay
sorrow comes easily
as in the counting still –
of friends he seems
more willing than the rest
to listen as my heart concedes
I knew not when to break
or what of verses now
would yesterday
forsake
silent
raindrops
will comfort me now
a hundred times – of listening
volumes unconfessed
across a missing
separated –
mourning
words of love
how long this day
in coming
was there time before this loss
I can finally begin to recite
in an almost whisper
ten thousand volumes
of verse I never shared
and let my heart beat steadily
the celestial rhythms
of mourning
and show you the depths –
sentiment
hidden for the lifetime
that has separated us
. . .

what wonder
forgiveness
professing of less
an emptiness
carved
by the stars
an ageless beginning
was here
that we knew
of the going
tho nothing
would e’er be the same
met with a sweetness
reaching to soul
taking
remaking
all we had known
. . .

a moment of holy
sacred divine
as light thru the memory
of windows
we were
remembered another
thought we became
a star not yet fallen
a wish not yet made
a beginning more tender
than words could endure
or touch
could be trusted
to keep
. . .

pray me down
another night
when stars are realigned
remembering a space
that never was
a letting go
before the fates
conspired me to holding
your silences
much longer
than your verse
stay the wake
of evermore
a day beyond the last
wherein the light
is waiting
for a voice
a quiet reassurance
of where and here we lay
poetry
and tender worlds
to write
. . .

sleepy threads
and coffee makes
a story out of nothing
but rings
where I’ve forgotten
who was sleeping
by my side
habits shared
and graces
have a way
of getting older
a sweet caress
is sometimes best
denied
morning keeps
her secrets well
and no one knows to talk
of shadows come
and who is left
to say
passion wears
a flannel gown
and takes her comforts
slow
fingers trace
the memory
of stay
. . .

a length of thread
worn golden here –
laced and stitched
and braided
as endless as the summers
gone before
were truths
already taken –
lie awake
we come again
backwards into falling
morning dreams
are hastened
by the twilight –
frosted with the dew
a fleeting kiss
where breath forgot to take
our name as taste
to autumn lips –
nights we lingered so
above the place
remembered
to our soul
caught in spells
of once I was –
and begged me not to go
beyond the break
of love
into a word I couldn’t say –
a time we passed
along and still
looking for today
a fortune green
of four leaf kind
stars betrayed our realm
crossed and back
returning
to begin
