nearIam

calm me down
with whispers –
stories of the road
times you called my name
I heard you clear
above the dreams
of might have been
and where you’ll rest
tonight –
as I with plans
one day
to hold you near

silence stales
the cigarette
lipstick coffee cup
clean the break
of one more living shared
long before the sunset
knew to save
her paints –
your fingerprints
were glowing everywhere

dream the stars
from going
with questioning just so
a universe
where love is felt
the same
as sleep along the highway
counting back the miles
– stirred awake
by whispers
of your name

. . .

a place of silent fame ~

with gratitude
my soul becomes
remembrance of a name –
the taking in
til I am filled –
a place
of silent
fame

to resurrect
these mysteries –
much more than I can say
a truth denied
the words as yet
shall ring
some other day

. . .

memories
are sewn to me
petals on my sleeve
a song –
a music
sweeter than the night
proof when morning finds me
drifting back
from dreams –
nestled in a sweet
embrace of light

comeagain names
already known
maple
rose
and sparrow –
called to us
reunion of the saints

. . .

much older than reason ~

home

garner these truths
these fragile provisions
of where
(and I was)
but a sail on the sky
tethered by something
much older
than reason
waters set free
are pulling me nigh

across
to remember
another time (passing)
fitted my breast
the darkest of quills
thicker than moss
these graces of sorrow
soars as I know
I have
(and I will)

store to my being
one more returning –
as flashes
where scars used to be
bury my home
deep (for my finding)
skies once I wandered
my way
back to thee

. . .

tomorrow come ~

somewherestillwe are
beyond
the world’s indifference
stars are sworn to light –
as dragonflies
along my window sill
reminders of another once
you held me here this way –
quiet spread
– and all the rest
was still

sacred
as surrender
as one your wilderness –
were storms to pass
tho I be unafraid
of what might be tomorrow come
a mystery resolved –
a sorrow
cleaved apart
by plans we made

wait
another life
for me
within these halls confessed
lest parting be
the promise that you need
beyond the edge of circumstance
now we are again –
find me
in your seeking –
destiny

. . .

twas never
mistaken –
your reasons for want
a piece of my heart
there to keep
twas never uncertain
my path
would allow –
some truth even now
robs my sleep

of times
unprotected –
by questioning why
when answers
were all found before
scattered as pieces
of long ago rhyme –
written
of laces
and lore

were soul
but a season
passed us once by –
might I wonder
sometimes where we are
held into place
by corners of white –
deep as the night
without stars

. . .

how sweet the coming back ~

desguised graces

of stones
four hundred more
than mine –
the path to you was traded
forsaken as the sin
that held me here

to know you
as I knew you well
how sweet the coming back
became of longing –
one more passing
near

became a story
told by hands –
silence has her way
of folding into
destinies the same

were places I’d forgotten
how the hell
you made me feel
years have gone
and taken me
to blame

where are you
what words are come
what taste is on your lips
as truth to lie awake
beyond your will

the leaving
makes a deeper cut
than e’er the welcome home
arms have waited lifetimes
to be filled

. . .

were breath
become a whisper –
almost heaven
angel sigh
from the softened glow
of morning –
streams the night

from trust
was life becoming
something more
(o something less)
but for love
forever changing
more than blessings –
us to bless

from these winds
of ancient music –
sacred chime
was willed to word
angel thought –
ten thousand beating
sweetest song
we never heard

. . .

waited ~

evermore

sacred hour
for taking flight –
wings to beat the branches
timber bends
as heaven wills
us home
wrestled with the best
of us –
someone stays the night
as passion works
the covers –
we become

wonder wields
a frightened flame
there beneath the trees –
fireflies are flirting with a song
known only by the willow
carried us between
tears are warmed
by places
we belong

of knowing
I’m uncertain –
of all I’ve come
to find –
but the night is here
and all have
is time

. . .

almost never was ~

difference

for every now
another passed
as rain into the wind
as whispers
no one noticed how they rang
forgotten now
the essence –
of almost never was
how close we were
before the morning came

for every sorrow
suffered –
the joy of once to touch
as breath to grieve
the keeping of her days
names and places
read aloud
how clear the songs we are –
moments worn
by memory
into grace

. . .

spent ~

whoamItoknow

beneath this fragile
knowing –
splinters pressed into
the place of solace come
and who will know
of thought I never
spent to verse
words left out to dry
where time is gone
you must have seen me
fly

above the trees
between the clouds
beyond the reach of song
how many lives
awaited
for us here
I can’t be sure
I told you once
some things I can’t forget
– the color of your eyes
between my tears

tell me now
as you must know –
of moments
we have passed
when promised us a life
beyond these years
carry my
beleaguered soul
into the place of hands
hold my name
within the heart
you own
