I want to remember you that way --
Your face glowing
Like the fiery sun setting
In the summer sky.

Early in the morning,
The heavy raindrops are falling.
I can hear them knocking
On the roof while I'm sleeping.
Or maybe they are walking,
Or might be they are talking --
Trying to tell me something,
Like 'Go to sleep,
Sweet little kid.'
Early in the morning,
The heavy raindrops are falling.
And Oh, what a morning greeting!

Sway--
Let the music play.
Let me feel you like the wind
embracing me silently.
Let the chill in the atmosphere
Numb me.
I am a dying leaf
Falling to the ground.
But the rhythm of the wind
Saves me;
Graces me.
I can hear the wind's whisper,
But do let the wind hear my plea:
Please don't tell me anything
That might bring to life the dead in me.

I'd like to see the sides of you--
Every inch, every step.
I'd like to discover every part of you--
Every corner, every wall.
I have heard of your beauty
But I want to bear witness,
I want to be in awe.
Of God's wonderful gift.
I want to feel your presence,
To be assured of your existence.
And you'll be my lush green mountains,
My evergreen.
You'll be my deep blue oceans,
My serenity.
You'll be my radiant skies,
my eternity.

I remembered
I promised you a poem,
In fact one a day for our love-
There's a problem though,
I can't seem to get them out:
Because your presence
Is like a million words,
A thesaurus sitting right
Next to me,
And what you are to me
When you are with me is an
Eternal sonnet.
But when I tried I began to
Understand something that brings
My understanding of us clearer,
That we are the same in separate
Places, in the same solitude
Without knowing each other's
Pain or fatigue.
That we are both not people,
But the wind freed in our selves,
A gale freed from the conventional
And we become a sudden verse,
Nostalgic and naive,
Stubbornly young and hopeful,
There in that place,
When we are together,
I cannot write the poem
That has not yet finished
Being written.

You came
As bright as a star
in my cold, dark solitude.
You looked at me
And adored me
Like the radiant sun
In the light blue skies above.
But then you started to move--
Far, farther, further.
And soon I'll see not a trace of you.
You said hello to me
But bid goodbye too soon.

Of all the tales I've ever read,
The saddest one I won't forget--
It is the tale of me and you,
In one disaster that came true.

I came knocking on your front porch,
Running on your lawn--
I kept waiting in the silence,
And sat under the moonlight.
I called you, I yelled.
Ever single raindrop
Was my every cry--
A plea for you to hear me.
But the corners of your home,
Gave you your shelter.
The concrete living stone,
Grant you your warmth.
It was a comfort for you
Never to open the door,
Nor the windows,
And let me in
To shower you
With the words I'd told you--
Those you didn't hear.

How easily you have taken for granted
Years of laughter and sorrow,
Of sleepless nights and lifeless mornings.
How easily you have chosen one over the other.

You know you're a poet
When you have walked the tightropes
Of being placed into a confined label
And still look up to a brighter sky of hope.
You know you're a poet
When you hear echoes of voices
That resonate within your mind
From all the mistakes and bad choices.
You know you're a poet
When you can see shades of colour
Within a black and white film
And see value beyond the dollar.
You know you're a poet
When the winter comes you cheer
For all the new found imagery
Like the sight of snow that is white clear.
You know you're a poet
When spring has arrived
You think of a spring in a step
and how a pen-spring is alive.
You know you're a poet
When heartbreak is motivation
For a chance to write sullen words
And heart ache becomes a wonderful creation.
