wherever this
some tuesday morn
before the sun arrives
an echoing of engines
in the night
a ways beyond
the coming back
to find our place anew
a flood of stars –
wishes
falling through
wherever this
may take us –
a world beyond the pines
some distant sea
dreamed in sapphire blue
miles before
the lay me down –
what would you have me choose
when all
my heart remembers
is a wish
returned
by you
. . .

within this place
of waiting –
shall I will you come
for me
and remember not
the want
we wasted here
the sweet refrain
confessed
until whispers
become flesh
til all I knew
was only you
again
a melody
corrected –
from somewhere
we began
as the afternoon
fell sweet
into the stars
when for a moment
wishes were
our way for getting back
a slice of love
became this place
we are
. . .

there is no
left
no always right –
just a blur
where things went wrong
a moment you were here –
then you were
gone
balanced
among strangers
for eyes in search
of mine –
a hunger so familiar
seems my only
every time
beyond the blur
of wandering –
a wrong forgotten now
right returned
unnoticed
and I was saved
somehow
. . .

for every sorrow
I was traded –
for a wish
beneath the stars
a breath
that was my pillow
spared of dreams
words
are given pardon
and a place
I still belong –
carried me
cross every night
between
becoming this
a lover’s rite
spun into a page –
verses wrapped
in verses
senseless rhyme
remembered
to another
where destinies
entwined –
wishes fell
to break the spell
of time
. . .

was once
do you remember –
a moment much the same
we tracked the stars
and answered back
their names
traded
every secret –
but for another
fate to curse
even now I can’t recall
who was first
years and
everafters –
span a life
of might have beens
places we were one –
now again
come the burn
of red horizons
met with darkest coal –
stars against the heaven
of my soul
. . .

what words
need understanding –
but a place to fall
one day
beyond the seeker seeking
our dismay
another time
forgotten us –
some meaning just beyond
the dreamer dreamed
and all that was
become
a summer night
a star just so
and planted black
as diamond
how many wishes
raised
before his fell
dust is left
to willing hands
pressed against the light
to trace the trail
of wishes
cross the night
. . .

for another day
a lifetime rent –
for wishes undenied
one last kiss –
one verse upon my brow
too many more
than I endured
to save for any less –
the way I came
much sweeter than before
I only dreamed
to finish here –
until the dying came
until my waiting freed
one more goodbye
– will then I dare
remembrance
of things I might have changed
had winter passed
with not so harsh
a claim
. . .

how long I’ve spent
in looking back
to a place just out of view
to years before
I counted –
a time before I knew
of light
by shadows mingled
lanterns along my spine
wonder held in boxes
– for a moment
all was mine
as stardust into
wishes –
a promise yet to keep
snow became a lover
– dreamed me back
to sleep
. . .

I remember well
the season –
mercury and venus
a watchful moon
still takes my breath away
counting time by wishes
made for one another
whispers
folded round us –
stay
I’ve reached the age
where years no longer matter –
fissures to a dream
another page
moments I remember
a proprietary weakness –
I pass the field
we loved in
every day
. . .

once
between collisions
we dared to trace the stars
and cursed aloud
for years the passing on
wishes burnt to cinder
aren’t all to matter now
how much we dreamed
remains a distant light
beyond the shift
where shadows hide –
I worry for you there
will you still hold
my secrets –
the flame
that warms my soul
