had I choice
of how life ends –
where destinies align
would someone write your name
with bits of mine

how far from then
this poet dreamed
with words
the heart might hear
of angels resurrected
for moments
here

could be no everafter
longing for these days
no paradise
could e’er suffice
to loving you
this way

had i choice
of heavens
a place
I’m sworn to be
some other dream
I dreamed
you’d come
for me

had I choice
of how life ends –
a version of the rest
I’d best believe
our destinies aligned
that gods were
having coffee –
one day amid the clouds
when someone wrote your name
with bits of mine

life, love, poet, poetry, remembered, rhyme, truths, unintended, verse

words are offered
unyielding –
scrapped from pages
divine tho they be
moments
split open
and scattered
are gift to the soul
with comfort to seek
verses and
poetry
rhyme sometimes raw
as blood turned
to ink
by the page
by the fall
who will remember
how it was then
we wrote
without thinking
without feeling
at all
what was meant
unintended
as a line spoke aloud
as truth
we were hoping to breathe
who shall give voice
to some other
we were –
poetry left the heart
to receive

another thousand miles ~

I’m certain
there’s a place
you can’t reach
inside my soul –
another thousand miles
beyond your touch
a story not yet traded
for somewhere we begin –
destiny or fate
not soon enough

I drew a map one Friday
and left before the sun
could gather up your dreams
to make them mine
before my heart remembered
all the ways
you fit me well
how much of me
is traces left behind

for every truth
some mystery –
to ease the days between
moments yet to ponder
why we came
for every start
where evermore has written
us more time –
seasons pass
stones are rolled away

. . .

family, grace, living, love, secrets, sometimes, story, the part you never knew, truths, who i was before I was, writing in the dark

granny kept his secrets
until the day she died –
surrendered with her breath
every want
to question why

some stories flow a river
beginning at the end
til all we have is what became
of places we have been

tis why the nightbird cries
remembering her song
– what man became my father
when mama came along

I hold my demons closer
than words I dare not speak
truths that weigh much more
than you love me

for every doubt
another waits
to claim the life between
who I was before I was –
dreams I dream

for every secret traded
there are some I’ll never tell
– why granny kept her boots
in the woods
beyond the well

. . .

bless’ed these
scarlet days –
hues of rose
and bloody truths
I won’t remember much
when twilight burns me whole
I won’t remember how it was
I loved you
with my soul

another first ~

gathered mine

the first kiss
your last goodbye
held as mine
‘neath jealous skies
where truth was sealed
by wordless sighs
lies
too old
to remember

the way we came
from roads before
with want for none
but grace for more –
than a hand could hold
a heart would store
in boxes old
and bursting

given place
a rite of rest
one promise sweet
tho unconfessed
with all I am –
with nothing less
than a song
you taught me
whisper

into the still
surrounding now
when by ten thousand
deaths
I vow
another breath
somewhere
somehow
in fields by heaven
seeded

another first
‘neath amber skies
where angels dance
by firelight
where truth was sealed
by wordless sighs –
lies
too old
to remember

. . .

Author’s Note: Pieces of this have haunted me over the last couple weeks. Not long ago, I wandered to an old road not far from where I grew up. I could see clearly that an industrial park was hedging bets on every spare inch of land. But on another day (another life), the trees barely parted for the lane, and beyond was a field deep with wheat and dreams. I don’t know whether ‘parking’ is a southern thing or not. I’d hate to think that we’re the only ones with an appreciation for summer nights on a lacey quilt – witnesses to heaven beneath a blanket of stars.

constellations

for another day
gathered close
by a string of crazy dreams –
stars
from wishes scattered
on the breeze

songs to sing
truths I swore
for surely ours were one –
let me touch
or follow
another to become

what I would trade
for moments –
to indulge this sweet refrain
wherein our will is
rested

tis where
we love again

. . .

Iwillfindyou

spring believed
before I did –
and blossomed with relief
for times I cursed
the blight of winter
snow

heaven knew
of faith reserved
to catch the falling leaves
where blooms your love
in every place
I go
