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
. . .

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
. . .

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
. . .

a life
resurrected
for a moment like this
to find then of dreams
i survived
to remember my place
a smoldering flame
to recall
how your hand
fit with mine
a silence
made sweet
by the essence of voice
were so many things
left unsaid
flirts with my need
deserved of my touch
like a story
made over
one telling too much
i can dream
to remember
how it was just before
my window fell open
my heart
wanting more –
you were come
without wishing
hesitation forgot
to the way the world
curled
in my fingers
. . .

fate, heart and soul, let me in, life, love, time, truth, valentines day
eyes the color
of molasses
destiny
come late
with summer dreams
a wish
clearly spoken
when the sun was high –
a slave to the notion
of fate
‘what would you like to do today’
‘only this’
‘only this’
Happy Valentines Day
❤

had i time
enough
to make the best –
years beyond these rings
a moment undecided
by the way
the nightbird sings
a road too long
to get me back –
a broken stand
of pines
had i days
to resurrect –
one more morning
to ascribe
breath where mine
was stolen
i remember
had i grace
to give in trade –
an evermore
to save
would my pleasure come
in counting
every kiss where
we align
would i wait
another day
to make you
mine
. . .

breath, found again, home, love, memory, redemption, tars, time, trust
in the breath
where memory hides
you are there
on sundays
when the paper comes
as i lean into the light
where first you arrived
warmth on my face –
my need
to embrace
whatever is come
whatever is made
of us
when the reasons
all fall away
my smile can no longer
suffer the ache
to know where you stood
at the edge
of one day
at the fringe
where darkness
covered in light –
awaited my breath
to return
. . .

i shall wait
past the leaving –
far beyond the night
when dust
finds the moon
i shiver
sometimes
to remember the way
you surrendered
my name
in the dark
before dawn stirred to life
seventeen
i was then
when i loved
you the first
i shall wait
past the waking –
for years yet to be
til eternity comes
as a voice
on the breeze
to remember me home
to arms
opened wide
i shall wait
for a lifetime –
this moment
to find
. . .

how much of me
still wonders
at this place
we’ve come to be
how many years –
miles
we put behind
how much will i remember
when my days
are all but done
will i recall the light
found burning
in your eyes
remember me
this destiny
when all the rest are gone
fields of ash
winter wheat mistaken
let for this
another grieve
how i loved you so
saved my heart
from wondering
for long
. . .

had i waited
this
a moment more
than twilight turning red
had i listened
as night birds
drew their sighs
had i known
that heaven makes a place
near enough to breathe
to understand
the depths
where love can be
had i traded
every sorrow
when my grief was newly formed
had i bled of tears
a canyon of restraint
had i known before
you would come
to save of me the best
so far from
this beginning
would i wait
