what benefit
is destiny
when all we do is pine
for another life –
another breath
some other choice
divine

a moment come
when words are met –
by a heart that fits
us so
is worth the price
for wanting –
what only lovers
know

there is no time
beyond today –
no break
beyond the trees
where life is lived
apart from here –
as truth resolved
to be

. . .

turned to stone ~

i shall pray
for love to take me
as evening
pulls around –
cuddled me in green
a bit of star
i shall want
that you would wait
until my will
is turned to stone
a plea for grace
to fill this place
you left me
once
alone
i shall rage for truth
when none becomes
the way i knew
of you
i shall want of this –
another day
when all my days
are through

had i nothing
but this moment –
and a place
to lay your head
echoes of a promised
evermore
sealed within
this silence –
til i awake
within your dream –
balanced on a cliff
above the floor
had i nothing
but forever –
and breath
to love you so –
solace when the night
is filled with
dread
had i nothing
but a lifetime more than
just this one i know –
another time
a place to lay
your head

. . .

the time it took to find ~

would that longing
understand –
the ways by which we loved
ten thousand sighs –
rivers to the sea
should ever grace
be given for
the time it took
to find
or chapters dedicated
to our pleas
will history remember
every whisper
every touch –
will canyons remain empty
as proof of us –
when dreams are lost
to counting
nights beneath the chill
as darkness comes
to break our hearts again
what of love will
intercede
when light is turned
to stone –
reminders of the places
love has been

. . .

dawn without remorse ~

before the time
unknowing
the end was not the end
but a means of understanding
where healing
might begin

before the rush of waking
one dream
allowed to be –
fell within the promise
of lost eternities

before the will
longing knew
where our paths would lead
thru gardens of allowance
tendered now to seed

was evermore
a place beyond –
dawn without remorse
were skies forgave the heavens
where lovers love
once more

. . .

fated to me ~

same as I

forty-one more
than I was young
half lives more than ready
one last time –
for living
every day

failing
forgiveness –
tell me of pleasures
willed you come
yet pulled you away

separate for nothing
a pension for madness –
heaven permitted
to leave

last years
communion –
is this years I love you
memory fated
to me

. . .
