last i remember
the stars had no names
and a wild endless blue
was your name
on my lips
surrender made do
with the past
it is gone
like a wave built of clouds
where our dreams
linger on
forty
and something more wondrous
than this
than years folded soft
on the night
last i was taken
you found me somehow
out past the waves
where stars
are allowed
pointed
and endless
cradled by blue
– fate
rearranged
by your hands
. . .

allowance, forgiveness, grace, letting go, love, time, trust
never worried
for the leaving –
fences broken
(should i care)
for days
beyond the harvest –
without want
to meet us there
no fated
circumstances –
would have me leave
the gate ajar
had i known
you were missing –
i might have wondered
(where you are)
had i slept
beneath the window –
beside a memory of us
washed my sheets
til they surrendered
the world
our dreams (forgot)
nights
became
a bed of whispers –
trading truths
i couldn’t hold
tempted wings
unfurling presence
across the spring
(across the snow)
. . .

we were here
once before –
no way
to ever doubt it
there was light
that set you burning
a flame
i fell into
we were here
almost forever
the moment i was saved
honest as the day –
the day
we came
no way around
the way you made me
certain
we were here
tho i’ve forgotten
where we ever went astray
i’m forgiving
of the fate
that took you back –
fate that left me searching
for a time
we were here
gathered up in words
we couldn’t say
. . .

faith to come around, love, recovery, remembered to home, renewal, time, trust, truth
from places
love was started –
without want
for something more
than a hand to hold
a tender want
to feed –
was there
when first you understood
how wrong a right
could be
how hands once
open wide
could close a door
from places
long forsaken
someone learns
to speak our name
as stories spin
life begins
from destinies untold –
lines are crossed
no going back
on this returning home
want no longer
waiting us –
another hand
to hold
. . .

fall, leaves falling, life, love, sweet home, tennessee, time
it’s that time of year
orange bleeds
to fill an empty stand
leaves are falling
i want
nothing more
than to take your hand
lead you through
the yellow
crimson gold
were tennessee
still playing rocky top
i’d take of every chance
to beg you stay
one more fall –
saturday
with me
i’d take of evermore
to beg you stay
when alabama comes
to tennessee
. . .
15 Saturday Oct 2022
it rained
and i was carried
out beyond the gate –
beneath the trees
an ocean
to embrace
i thought of you
another spring
and how it felt
to sail
beyond the reach
of sailors –
silver tides
it rained
and i remembered
nights where
in your arms
a pounding on the roof
whispers caught
between a moment
fell into
and waking far away
with only these
reminders
of the rain
. . .

so much of me
is held between
the first i was
the last
seasons gone
another leaf to press
spinning once
i thought of you
and how it was you came
to render me
forgotten
to the rest
so much of me
was everything
and you
the one denied
oceans
seas
rivers
someone knew
before was i
you waited
my remembrance
of surrender
just this way
leaving every season
to confess
ages fell between
here am i
as once before –
take of me forever
take of me
the rest
. . .

wherever time
is taken us –
whatever fate is come
revealing
destination
in your eyes
i see anew
a way i thought
forgotten to my soul
a path no longer shaded
i allow
a letting be
where silence
was distances perceived
a dawn most surely
gone –
is burning now
. . .
07 Friday Oct 2022
was this
for warmth I waited
crooked boards and thread –
a light
to ease the dark
above the pines
distance traveled
who am I to squander
what remains
to still my ache
with wonder
what of you
was ever mine
another season
captive to your eyes
was this
the home i never left
when fell into
the pond –
drowned one summer day
mid july
did you grieve
til dreams were tendered
by words
that never came –
an ancient map
stars we called
by name
was this
the chance forever took
one winter as we lay
curled against each other –
do you remember
. . .

confession, life, love, realization, sometimes, surrender, time, understanding
this is the part
where longing makes sense
a sigh where my dreams
fall away
a name spoken softly
tho shadows can hear
what was saved
for this moment
from another
some day
this is the part
the part where i bend
a place where you lay
in my arms
for a while
trading secrets
for the promise of more
e’en now
there’s a warmth
at the tempt of my smile
i can’t be made
to surrender
. . .
