Sometimes even
in the quietest moments.
I can hear your voice
comforting kind and gentle.

It stirs up memories
of your unconditional love.
Then goes even deeper
to a need that lives
in me forever.

A need to see you again,
even after all
these passing years.
I know every inflection and
nuance of your sweet voice.

Angels bring me her message.
Angels bring me her love

For now, I understand
there is no silence,
no ending.
Only a continuum
of what was once us.

I close my eyes
And I can see you again.
through the mist
of Our two worlds apart.

Your face so
beautiful to me.
Your kiss
so comforting.

In silent voices
from the quiet
place in my heart
that nobody
but you can fill.

I whisper
I love you Mom

Even before I existed
I was part of the ancient seas.
That primordial mix of all life.
Salty and teaming
with the origins of all things.

Now countless eons have passed.
I walk outside of its briny boundaries.
My feet still pulled by it's presence
Pulling me to its farthest depths.

As I step into the edges
of its wet sand.
I hear her whisper
in salted sea winds.

Come back to me,
Come back my child
to your mother.
You are mine
and I am yours.

I belong to the sea
She is my blood.
The wavelets
are my heartbeat.
The seagrass my veins.

Nothing ever ends.
come back to us.
the gulls cry from above.
Only new beginnings exist
Only new life.

You belong to me
She pulses
from her mighty depths.
I am your eternal mother.

Breathe your air
Sing in the sunlight of earth.
But return to me.
Remember my son
You belong to the sea

Sometimes you stare at me.
I am naked and empty to you
No more than
a sheet of white paper.

your eyes cut me
like razor blades.
Your white teeth
chew my shapes.
you have all the power.
I am being folded
into the object
you desire.

A deer
a bird
an aeroplane
your deft fingers fold
and create my shape.

can you not see.
my flesh is soft and pliable.
my heart beating with passions
my mind clear and decisive.
That your folds and creases
Leave me in agony?

I crave only your love
your tenderness
your needs and desires.
Only for you.

Yet you fold me once again.
In your hands
I am origami.

I see that far away look in your eyes
Are you leaving me once more?
like Whispered conversations
falling down a spiral staircase.
Like secrets as they hide in silence.
I can hear them in the night
Yet I don’t.

The same way that voices are lost
In the ****** of *******.
The same way the rose fades
without water.
The same way stars melt
when daybreak calls.

I listen intently for your footfall.
Walking away, only echoes remain.
And inside my chest the sounds
that a heart makes when breaking.

And I contemplate
the dangers in your beautiful eyes.
And the gravity of the stars.

over you at last
By
Jude Kyrie

I have stopped writing love poems for you.
And please do not think this is a love poem.
Because today
I am finally over you at long last.

I do not care to relive past moments of us anymore,
expressed in beautiful poetry.

Like when I saw you for the first time.
And the songs of angels rang in my heart.
And I knew---I knew-----I Knew.

I will never write another love poem
for you ever again.

Like when we sheltered
from the soft spring rain
Below an old maple tree
in muted misty springtime olive greens.
And I noticed the color of its leaves
were the exact color of your eyes.

I am finished with writing  
love poems for you
it's good to be over you at last.
And I will never mention again

How I still stop
and catch my breath
when I hear a laugh
exactly like yours.
Or perhaps when
I see a woman from behind
And her hair is burnished gold
just like yours.

I am now quite over you.
In fact, I hardly ever think
of you anymore.

*Except perhaps in springtime.
But then again.
I should never think of springtime.
For that would surely
break my heart in two

Dance me through all I will remember
with glitter ball lights in your eyes
Dance me from January to December
in the bloom of a million soft sighs

Dance me through children and laughter
in a home where true love never dies
Dance me before and then after
As I gaze in the pools of your eyes

Dance me every day of our lifetime
Dance me through all heartaches and pain
When I am old and my eyes lose
their bright shine.
Then dance me and dance me again.

I feel like I am walking in a shower of love
The tapping of the rain upon my umbrella
Is playing my heartbeat
The light of the moon is my beacon
lighting all my senses
Pulling me close to you
she said

We walked along the tree lined pathways
together in the park
arm in arm
In the shining wetness of the night rain.
Where our love glows in the darkness.

Its rhythm is playing on the strings of my heart
Making me feel love songs all for you.
I am so in love with you
So in love
she sighed

We walked slowly in the rain
I turned to look at her
so breathtakingly beautiful
and  radiant
in the light of the moon.
So much what I longed for.
So much what I needed.

I feel your fingers inside my heart
Tapping your heartbeat onto mine.
Allowing me to breath, to feel, to live.
Keeping my heart safe and loved
she said.

And there in the park
in a long ago springtime
In the night rain.
I walked into her heart
through the door
She left open only for me.
and I found my home
where I would never leave
