Image Shattered
what it is :
shards of stone cold dead
Who is it
trembling now exposed
no patterned paths to tread
Who I Knew    I Was    Now Am Not
future can't be read
present glows  ~  potential vast
Unknown   my Friend   my Dread

You are the man
I dreamed you'd become
Your own

He is my Only One.
I'm lover rich with family and friends.
Love for Him can eclipse any other.
Adoring my husband, though not like my son
Loving my man with mind heart and body
but Son is my One
Partners are bonded, supporting and growthful
But Son is my One
Danger here, I've learned to be vigilant.
Separate love from feelings of need
feeling the need that only He fills
Tolerate free fall
as if not connected
into the birth core of me

You are my man my chosen companion
the decades now seem just a flash
living desires dreams working and children
decisions admittedly rash
distance and merging the laughter and anger
have taken full space in their turn
most times I feel ageless with graceful awareness
know it is for now that I yearn
what a surprise your fine chest has grown ******* now
and I  pluck the hairs from my chin
I never thought we would morph into this stage
my partner my lover my friend

Desire to Merge
As always, as ever.
a whisper, a beckoning call

What shall I make of this day ?

Our body's too dense now
Can't get past my structure
I've built an impervious wall

or is it my Mind's in the way?

Then Soften
Expanding
Breathe in the Union
Moving in Spaces Between

Chiding myself seeking life in death
bird is fed from rich fallen tree.
As she finds, I know
living's not as it seems:
To Be Is to Be Is to Be
~~~~

Wearied by choice
I deny that I make
as simple and complex
as time give and take
Blame love
my cravings
my duty my shoulds
Passions the seasons
there's no lack of reasons
when drama is over
I know once again
I bring it all to me
in all the disguises
I'm playing my games
and I choose  my prizes
