As I think of simpler days
Before we went our separate ways
And these thoughts normally pass me by
The life and love of you and I

What if we tried, what if we went
Back to the love that seemed heaven sent
I believe with you my heart would be well spent
But would I be happy, would I be content?
The fairy tale of always hearing your laughter
Would that be my happily ever after?

I try to decipher this riddle of us
Is this true love or is this lust?
Will I perish if I don’t get you?
Or will I perish if I do?

Little was said
Yet both of us knew
As the hands on my watch so treacherous flew
Leaping too gleeful between stolen glances
Obscene in their haste
Making light of our chances
Still the word would not come
How could that be so?
When it seems twixt our meetings
Whole worlds come and go.


Ten lifetimes could never do justice to you
Yet scant moments are all I can treasure as true
When my hand touched yours
Then all earth stood still
With a jolt of raw power
A tectonic thrill
As if Physics had said,
“This time is theirs”
“Forget for one moment responsible cares”
But too soon did the sun race low in the sky
Our own thief of time that demanded “Goodbye”
So with fortitudinous smiles we both did depart

And that word left unsaid
Still sits deep in my heart.

you took parts of me
and parts of the world,
and sewed them into a shawl with
a needle and thread of music.
i breathed garbage as you took the mist thin
amalgam of bliss and wrapped
it around your,
shoulders
held tight
soft folds spilling down
forming around your sloping curves
gently, with your practiced
grace and poise,
white legs tangled in the fabric, pulled high
to reveal all and nothing,
draped over knees,
cascading from porcelain arms.
a drop of dew gathers at the blade of grass
and
drips.
kept pure and clean,
not a bare stitch.
tucked into a
box and under your bed
never to be worn
again.

Lies fall like rain
Rain falls like tears
Tears flow like thoughts
Thoughts flow like fears
Fears scream like words
Words scream like lies
Lies fall like rain
So my heart cries

Falling, Falling,
they all fall
like snow
like autumn leaves
like rain
like tears
like blood
like me
never me
and the down curve of the line on his face shows on my brow.
like metal
like rock
like words
like wood
and the river he keeps blocking over and over cracks him and i see it behind his eyes!
like walls
like damns
like caves
like minds
and the monster inside the pool begs and pleads the keeper for milk but the sky and the ocean can never meet, even if they are lovers.
like her hate
like his mate
like my sorrow
like our love
and the stones are wet, the tree is bent and the stars fall like rain to burn the floor of his heart as they squeeze the ****** muscle to bits
like ice
like fire
like wind
like tears
but they never fall from the face of my mountain, they just fall from the pebbles at the bace forever growing to the nowhere sky
as i fall
into his arms
but are they mine?
or his?
