stay (2)

stay the night
unburdened
by where has gone
the day –
as pieces of our past
are put away

into the realm
of all I am –
what more
we might become
the ways to home
and I
your only one

as stilled
before the waking
to heaven one more time
the light has shifted
now –
as one divine

was come for me
and waited more than breath
the years have left
– to find the key
where’er the lock
be kept

forsaken not
the telling –
were love to reason why
words have lost
their meaning
– as have I

daylight beams
in silent streams
across the place we lay
as I remember
once before –
forgetting you
this way

. . .

remembered to me ~

comeback

hold my soul
as one of longing
forgiven more than grace
divine –

will trust the darkness
fold you sweetly
into the heart
you hold of mine

take my hands
to know my sorrows –
martyred verse
unclaimed by word
one more time
will faith be tested
for prayers to listen
undisturbedsweettom

hold my heart
beneath the covers
warm to every place I know
there you are
begin –
just ending –
silence falls as rain
to snow

. . .

dreaming of color ~

magic

e’en now
I remember
a sliver of moon
tiny white shells
on the ground
poems were written
each night
as I lay
neath a cradle of stars
– a heart without sound

committing to memory
every fissure of light
as wings gave name to the wind
I began to tell stories
of how it might be
– the grief of a sailor
returned by the sea

in search
of the lost
some answer to find
tho weaved to a locket
his share
were happiness more
than a place
on the map
a long ago something
no one compares

how the pines
loved the river
for reasons unknown
boats rushed the current
to home

birthed into fortune
restless to wake
dreaming the color
of oceans unseen
quiet keeps silent
the pulling apart –
as shores shy away
from the green

. . .

Author’s Note: A little history. I awake more
than most in the midst of the night – holding to
words I can’t say. Launched from the bed
by the promise of page – I sit in the still –
telling stories by dark. Some call them rambling;
others, meant to be.

. . .

rise me gently ~

rise me

secrets wear
the story long
and there my purpose known
as quiet moves
these sleepless bones
to write

sacred
as repentance held
lips still wet with prayer
as silence wraps
forgiveness ‘round
the night

as blush the morn
becoming new
a refuge to my soul
constellations
never were so bright

the sun
shall rise me gently
as wings above the flame
a tremor held in place
against the light

dreams
almost forgotten
are gathered on the lawn
longing wills my whisper
into flight

. . .

to the lines ~

still my sound
with ancient prose –
haiku of the heart
ease the want for needing
more than this
sieve my thoughts
to paper –
where now your name is writ
poems memorized
upon a kiss

wring my rhyme
from history –
for once you knew me well
two beats more
than then –
a sweeter song
kept my heart from beating
saved another breath –
margins wished away
before the dawn

score me to the lines
another meant to own
when found the pen
was waiting
for the page
swirled within the indigo
parchment of regret
hold me here –
your longing to assuage

. . .

Author’s Note – Inspired in part by the following post by a beautiful talented soul.  Thank you, friend.

gathered sparrows ~

familiarsun

will
that once I knew
to understand the want
forgiven every longing
of my soul
counted thrice
this evermore
whatever love shall take
beyond the night
another hand I hold

sure
this slow acceptance
of all I’m meant to find
gathered sparrows
flock an empty place
tis there
my heart remembers –
reasons for the loss
glories claim a lowly call
for grace

ten thousand more
as I shall go –
with worry not for crying
lights to burn –
embers glowing black
memory remains of me
roads of vein and story
will survives
the coldest –
spring of welcome back

. . .

lives before I lived ~

stillIam

of destiny
I’ve heard them say
another sun shall rise
committed as the sparrow
to remain
balanced on a northern wind
knowing me this way
tho time has passed –
til no one knows
my name

in sheets of iceberg
melting –
lives before I lived
rest against these windows
unafraid
of seasons gone
to blow again –
across and through my soul
reminders of some other
love I know

forgiven me
an early sky
where every star burns blue
destiny rewritten
to my will
beats beneath ten thousand wings
as one among the clouds
names are wrote
and I remember
still

. . .

missing time ~

stillagain

last
the dates seemed far away
but stars –
they huddled near
shuffled with the wing’eds
early clay

of weeping then
I know you heard
my crying on the wind –
begged you come
another
yesterday

worried not
for leaving
or what tomorrow knew
of places still
unwritten – leaving
left undue

will poets tell
of all we felt –
of mercies spilled to rhyme
gathered first as angels
to the pen

memorizing
times before –
were sworn to keep us still
falling into reasons
for missing time
again

. . .

never heard ~

firsttime

sometimes
I sit
the longest night
in search of other words
nothing ever written
something never heard

would sounding such
so all would hear
would feel the verse within
is given not to rhyme
or line
or seasons to defend

with nothing more
than names I’ve kept
nothing less than love
would roll against the margins
of all I’m fondest of

urges sweet
so few will know
of longing without place
echoes born of loving
worship lost in grace

of moments more than
I have room
within the page
to hold
ten thousand more will follow
another time I’ll know

the feel of home
a rush of pulse –
the comfort of a kiss
ages lost
before I came
were waiting me for this

a time to still
with hands to heart
remember me
this way –
found in unforgotten
words I didn’t say

. . .

three ~

she is three (bobbie)

of stories
I’ve forgotten
times and places
touch untold –
gave my heart (the way of graces)
left of every love
I know

another girl
another baby –
(now a woman)
pens the night
silver locks reweaving promise –
verses fell
by candle
light

into magic
I was given –
fragile moments to defend
(all I was)
I am remembered –
baby
woman
child (again)

. . .

Author’s Note: Inspired by a painting
gifted me by
a dear friend.
