you
when the sun rose with me
the sky appeared and provided
a certain kind of light
illuminating in my mind
those tender moments
i hold so dearly

you.
Kevin Jul 2019
words no longer serve me
in expressing this fearful thing clearly
my arms must dot the i's
and my toes to cross the t's

my eyes and light will guide me
my mind will place my presence
and show you the direction
my heart decides to take

i want to meet you there
and have you feel my words; truly
Kevin Jul 2019
the home next to your families
looks just like my grandmothers

the sound of crashing waves
the breeze of a cool atlantic
and the sun kissing your skin

it's easy to sleep with the sand at your feet
and not be sure
if this is just a dream
Kevin Jul 2019
arugula and watermelon
and the joy in pain
of sunscreen in my eyes
your eyes disappeared into the sky
and the car smelled of running feet

i remembered a dream from long ago
while you were tying your hair
and standing before me against the blue horizon
le tournesol de la beau rivage
was finally real and present
Kevin Jul 2019
the trees have returned to us
their greatest shadows
so we may lie beneath their limbs
and hold each other close

love

help me to dissolve

and become a part of you
Kevin Jul 2019
the morning sun does not rise
back between the marshes on the bay
where colors remain dividing lines of gravity
where the horizon never seems at hand

on land, at a distance,
i can clearly see your vision
features all your own
the blue of your eyes, the curve of your brow

but it's july and we are at a distance.
nothing unsurmountable
not of lengths saved for olympians
but i fear the phenomenon of a mirage
