how sure this fate
awaited –
from nights
i grieved your touch
would morning come
and i not know
to ache
would e’er my thoughts
be settled –
in cursive blocks
of blue
a book resolved
to wishing –
for a love i never knew
would feel this way
as everything
pressed against my page
a story still becoming –
what was dreamed
of yesterday

. . .

arms away ~

despite my
resolution
to keep you arms away
a distant sun –
i couldn’t reach by car
a voice
almost for certain
not quite faded
still i grieve
the sound of your hello –
it doesn’t matter
where you are
i’m tortured
by the notion
you would let me go
this way –
you don’t speak my name
don’t feel the same
some days
despite my sore confession
i don’t love you –
still i do
tis not for me to ever
understand
how it is my heart
remembers
everything
i never said
destiny
i dare not lay to rest
everything you are
to love –
is all i am

the temptation to get it right ~

had we time
to make it over
time to do again
what was left
undone
left unsaid
traded for another
life we might have lived
days we might have
passed
sweeter the temptation
to get it right
would earn our trust
take our nights
had we time
again (remember) –
to learn
the way to love
differently somehow
a place of rest
beyond whatever time
and breath
allow

. . .

this time ~

save for me
your story –
will to understand
the ways you came
ten thousand lives
to find
missing you
was all i knew
the map that bears your soul –
destinies rewritten
to get me back
this time

save me this
these places –
uncertain where to start
fates converged
to stretch
beyond the blue
save for me
this evermore
as promised yet to none
the stars beyond –
another jealous
moon

. . .

then ~

of moments
long neglected –
choice to resurrect
a promise made
another day to find
whatever fate
was guided
by permission to arrive
was worth the way
deserted –
in my haste
to make you mine

for every moment
traded
dreams i let to dry
fields allowed to wither
in the sun
paths no longer open
covered disbelief
a night denied
the stars –
i knew you then

. . .

days becoming days becoming years ~

what solace
recollection –
when all i know
is you
what good the past
for teaching me goodbye
time is a survivor
how it was
to touch your skin –
sorrows without want
to reach me then
what good
the way returning
when all the trees are bare
blossoms floating down
silhouettes
silence sworn
to save me –
was here we fell in love
days becoming days
becoming years
the memory
of another time –
black and white of
yesterdays
words where once
your touch
knew everything

. . .

differences i knew ~

what prayer
was spilled into the night –
a wish upon a star
sufficient
now to bless me
were love –
the way we are
the way life feels
as sure it must
when heaven calls to be
across the waves –
echoes given wing
this heart to heal
my soul to plead
differences i knew
would come to me
one winter
when i had prayed
for you
memories to garner
touch to find me
now
ages to remember love –
arms to reach
around

. . .

how it was ~

ignore
my resistance
to find you anew
– as sweet
was your voice
to favor my skin
to remember
where graces
fell through the night
like stars from orion –
this fate to defend
how it was
was it easy
was it ever that way
a morning so fragile
it took me
away
willed my returning
from a place not so far –
to find you here waiting
this moment
to start

how it was
was it easy
was it ever that way

. . .
