save for this
a place i thought
grace could never reach
when closed my eyes
destiny remains
of seventeen
and for a moment
there we are again
revealed to life negated
by our rush to get away
to a dream
where someone waited
knew the way
we would be loved
how easy tenderness
became a touch
save for this
my everything –
how could i have known
the ways to you
would carry me
to home
. . .

wherever this
some tuesday morn
before the sun arrives
an echoing of engines
in the night
a ways beyond
the coming back
to find our place anew
a flood of stars –
wishes
falling through
wherever this
may take us –
a world beyond the pines
some distant sea
dreamed in sapphire blue
miles before
the lay me down –
what would you have me choose
when all
my heart remembers
is a wish
returned
by you
. . .

remembered this
from somewhere
once before
longer still
my ache when shadows
warm the place
i am
a fragrant kiss
foretelling
of the ways i’d come to hate
nights to pass the miles
from sleep to dream
gathered up
in trinkets –
nurtured by my lust –
cursing of
another time
was nothing left
of us
save for these
reminders
we were here
and i was home –
lifetimes tracing echoes
of me now
. . .

I’ve not the heart
to wager –
or strength for compromise
no easy path
to places we belong
stay with me
lay with me
ferry me the night
til I am safe
within the arms
of home
wrapped in sheets
of ivory –
saved for just this once
to wake
beyond the dream
we waited on
. . .

blessing, easy, grace, home, it's what I do, life, love, nature, smile, something here, the way, truth, without words
how many times
I’ve cursed
the slamming of the door
a backward glance
with nothing more to say
I’ve left my fears behind me
praying you might find me
some other time
you’d steal my breath
away
stay
that I might learn you
from all the things
you love
– the way you feel
the way you laugh –
the way you speak my name
sometimes I can’t but wonder
of another life
we made
morning spreads
her golden wings
as I lean upon the gate –
anchored to a life so undefined
tho not for this you tarry
something here won’t wait –
I love your smile
as sunlight
through the pines
. . .

tempt not these eyes
with lust for the river
dried to my feet
by the sand
cursed as I might
the azure blue mountains –
for trust
I was want
to withstand
a blade freshly carved
from a goldenrod meadow
bends round my finger just so
imparting a mystery
my heart
deems to wonder –
on lives polished black
by my soul
I am mist
gathered places –
the essence of longing
as breath come to blush in the spring
oceans are pining
for one more forever –
a page washed away
as I dreamed
. . .

enduring, enough to recall, lasting, life, love, promise, story, that which we keep, the way, time, trust, truth, wholely remembered
love will find us
regardless how far –
we’ve come from beginning
this truth to decide
love seeks for mercy
in all we endure
– longing no longer
denied
promise is pulled
as verse from the soul –
traded these wages
of sin –
syllables rent
by the taste of a name
story made over
again
whisper escapes
as dark from a dream
light formed anew
every dawn
the promise of heaven
is wingeds in flight –
echoes returning
a sigh
to your song
. . .

breath, dream, life, love, memory, recollection, sun in your eyes, the way, time, will, wondering
what place do I keep
in your memory –
what corner mine
of your heart
are there windows there
overlooking your life
– a garden
we dreamed
in the night
do you wonder sometimes
to the way we became –
paths never journeyed before
– how the warmth
of your hand
seem fitted for mine
as love seeking reason
for more
are there days
recollected –
with sun in your eyes
light through a window
where shadows
became
the difference in living
as silence recalls –
a memory tethered
by name
. . .

beginning, life, light, love, remembered home, surrender, the way, time, trust, understanding
tis all I have –
a damaged heart
this story of beginning
a map I drew
one Sunday afternoon
tis only this
sweet recompense
for all you have
to bring
as comfort to a
journey not yet done
but on our way –
let me be
the truth
of which you sing
. . .

blessings, heart, journey, life, love, mindfulness, open, shared intimacy, the way, time, truth, we're in this together
the road
however lonely
becomes a place
where we belong –
a storied recollection
of other days –
another song
as sunset gathers
gently
to the edge of evermore –
we are carried
by the journey
down roads we knew
before
let me know
if you are wanting
of hands
to share the load –
arms to rock you sweetly
when comes the time
to go
