Sitting there

you are

a perfect

balance of

innocence

and silence

melting.


like low tides

kissing over

a southern
sloped beach at

sunset.


no motion

wasted or

taken for

granted.


only a

promise that

the next

moment

will be your

best.


your eyes

keeping secrets

deep that no

heart could

ever forget,


like a broken

window long

past the

moment

when the

stone was

carelessly

thrown.


you embrace

all of world

in your
young years and

the world

embraces

all of

you back,


with glee

and open

admiration.


for I too

have seen you

at the

window still.


and now

I like

the sunset sea,


can think of

nothing less.

And in
your calypso
smile
winter
sets outside

your window.

and
harmony
reigns.

and mother
sky washes
over you.

with the
care
of a
fondling
parent,

giving
their only
child
it's
first
bathe.

and there
is a
healing
in my
soul.

at the
thought
of you
throughout
my day.

no more

poems
without
words.

or trees
without
roots buried

deep in

this harvest

land.

instead my
eyes
rise

up to
witness,

the moss
emerald
green
Parading
on the
river
banks
rocks
of time.

and I
have
been
there
with you.

and it
is there
I will
pray your
name again.

under sky
over
moon

falling

hard
into
your

eyes,


you the

beginning

of life

me at

the ending.


it is

good the two

of us have

come to meet

in this

place.

it is

the proper

order of

things.


and that

is what

I see most

in your

smile.

the meaning
of the universe

and I.

A gift.

these simple

poems

for you

to wrap

around your

dreams under

siren night,


these humble

words

and open

thoughts,


of admiration

and toasts

to glorious

days and nights.


to dance

in your

honesty

and deep

kiss your

passion

words,


and I will

always be

so much the

richer for it.


give me

the pearls

of your

whispers


so I

may dance

with you,


let us

breathe

each other in


and linger

forever in

our stories

told,


and it is

in your

eyes that

time has

blessed you

most,


forever in love

and forever

again,


in the

joy of

a blessed

heart.

Put my

head on your

belly and

let us

lie under

the grace of

this Christian

sky of blue.


Piece with

me all

of the wonders

and circumstance

and tell

me how this

life has

made you

you.


and I will

laugh and

celebrate and

dance through

your heavenly

journey.


and your

voice will

be a river

for me

to glide

upon,


and your

hand will

be a rudder

to guide

my way,


to these

places of

you that

you have

offered few.


your words

will become

like thousand

and thousand

of  pieces

of your heart's

buried treasure,


and

the depth

of your eyes

two  great

oceans to

dream within.


I the pauper

you the

music for

all to hear.


and in

this universe,


in the wink

of an eye


you are

everything.

Your soul

slumbers

at night under

fairytale

whispers,


and your

heart

wonders

singing

out loud

a favorite lyric

through

the universe,


like a comet

fire and embers

dancing..



the ordinary

does not

become you.


what is

over the

next hill is

more your

gypsy style.


and I

watch in awe

of you,


everything in

your life

before you.


not a yo-yo

on a string

existence,


someone

who will

leave and

then always

return to

the same

place again

and again

and again.


without

meaning.


your kisses

have great

meaning

I am certain,


like the sun

the moon

and the stars.


you hold them

in your

eyes  I

I can see

it.


sitting there

magically


in the

night.

Nothing must
ever be
left
unsaid
between
us.

or we
risk the
chance that
we may
truly
be lost.

nor midnight
whispers
unspoken,

nor morning
sighs seeking
refuge
unanswered

nor bleeding
promises
forsaken

to dust.

all are the
treasures
of you
I keep.

this moment
this embrace

they are
the seeds

of all
we might
ever
become

together.

It's a
us day,

lying your
daydreams
against
the hard
back bark
of a
tilted
sycamore
tree,

watching
the child
of your
past
rise
up in
your eyes
to meet me.


so many
changes
between
then and
now.

young
and old.

so many
impressions
and curves
etched
on the
character
of our
lives

no longer
afraid to
look in
the mirror,

without
a prayer
first,

to ease
the view
of our
hearts.

and I

for now
I will
never
let anything
hurt
you,

or bring
you down.

or let
you ever
be cold,

you have
my words
to wrap
around
you

for all
of that.

may you
read me
and feel
me,

for all
the days
of your
life.

under this
sycamore
sky..

against this t

tilted tree

could
anything else
be more

beautiful than

that.

I dream
just outside
your smile.

just close
enough
for you
to know
that I
am there.

brushing
your hair
with a
touch,

moving
to reach
for your
hand with

a thought.

in a
moment
of my
own
redemption,

and stars
shine
brighter
in your
eyes,

than I
have ever
seen
before.

and what's
to think
of this
moment,

but to
simply,

live it
with all
of my
heart.

This moment

your dreams
come true,

I can tell
by how
you are.

blessed
by spirit
and God's
hands
upon you.

and moments
of you
have fallen
to me,

and I
cherish
them.

and keep
them safe
and warm,

perhaps it
was a
smile one
day or
the wording

of one of

your poems

the next.


they are
the footprints
that you
have left
upon me.

and I
have changed,

I appreciate
you more,

and I am
better for
these
moments

and in
my dream
I hope
you feel

the same.

It is 1030
on a
a February
Sunday
morning

the magic
of your
eyes fall
over me,

and as
I look at
you,

in each
heartbeat
there is
a falling
off from
one to
the next.

deep drops
of anticipation
and great
urgency
to catch
my next
breath.

you are
a wonder
to all
that are
around
you.

a  song that
when once
heard
no one
can ever
get out
of their
head.

nor would
they ever
want to.

I learned
that lesson
long ago.

the sun will
follow the
moon and
then the
moon surrender
it's sky
again .

for millions
of years it
has been
adorn by
the stars
this way.

like you.
and your
timeless
beauty

it is
my only
explanation.

of you
that I

believe.

You sit
by the
seaside
waters
edge,

and blue
sky
embraces
you,

and the
afternoon
sun
light
dances
through your
tangled
angel hair,

and the
ocean tide
strains to
touch you.

and the
salt air
intoxicates
you,

and for
a moment
you are
as free as
the seagulls
that hover
like salt and
pepper
pilgrims
above you
on the
breeze.

and you
sit and
wonder in
this moment
and what
your life
has become,

and you
smile
and God
smiles
with you.

and I
smile
for you,

and reach
to catch
your eyes,

to be
intoxicated
for a while

like the
tide that
moves
inside you,

the open
heart that
beats within
you

I reach for
nothing else.

The sigh
of your angel
breath.

the deep
reflection
of your
universal
eyes.

and then
the quiet
gentle
surrender,

of my
open
soul
to you.

to that
place
that is
calm
and safe
and warm.

timeless
in
it's
presence.

rolling
and full
like
a Pacific
ocean
wave.

and all
that
is in
this moment
is the
promise
of your
smile.

and the
beating
of your
heart.

and the
treasure
that is
rich
and pure.

your friendship
and sky.

naked to
my eyes.

So easy
to slip
in and
out of
thought
with you,

like clouds
playing
peek a boo
with the
sun on
a high
sky
timeless
day.

sitting
here
testing
my fortune
every time
you come
into my
view.

you are
now in
me in so
many
places
that
I call
home.

and you
are always
welcomed
here.

like a
surprise
I knew
nothing
about.

a kiss
I never
saw
coming.

you are
a fortune
found

a seed
in my
blood.

a laugh
that makes
me unexpectedly
see myself

in you.

I can
remember
everything
about the
last time
I witnessed
your smile.

and if
you could
see how
beautiful
the memory
is,

you would
realize
like me
that there
is never
a "was"
to a
moment
spent
with you.

it lingers
and sings
to me,

to reveal
all of
it's secrets,

and though
I might
meet it
now with
empty
pockets
of fate.

your face
is something
I always
carry with
me,

in deep
breaths
and tender
offerings,

in  true
definition
of what

a woman
can do
to your

soul.

You are
the dream
of everything.

the slumber
while I
sleep,

as the
peace
and blessing
of your
smile,
falls over
me

you are
the pieces
of my
night
that I
remember.

the warmth
in my
soul
that I
carry with
me through
out
my day,

till night
returns
me to
you

and our
thousand
dreams
till

dawn.

And this

next word

will be

the start

to  forever,


and with

the awakening

of your soul

and the

gentle stirrings

of feeling

long since

dried


I have

come to

moisten you,


to move

upon you

in the

night .

and dance.


where we

can be

children again

chasing

first kisses,

and tasting

love for

the first time.


and in forever

we will never

tire in

our bed.


and I will

sit and

smile

at you,


and dream inside

your eyes.


and pray for

this nite

to never

end,


and the

children in

us to run

free and

trust and

honesty

to be the

depths in

our hearts,


and our love

and hope


to shape

the stars.

You take
my
breath
away
with
your

teardrop
smile.

your imaginary

fire *******
kisses

and angel
laughter
in the
middle
of our
night.

while
a canopy
moon crests
over a
star
filled
night.

the heavens
bend
to you.

and your
gentle
ways.

and your
angel
smile.

and to
all the
wonders
about
you that
I hold
so dear
to me.

the celebration
of sky
is you

in all
this sky
can hold.

and a
moment
without
you.

would
certainly
be the
absence

of sky

itself.

We are

the colors

of the sky,


the texture

of honesty

and trust,


and the

bleeding

of our

hearts

to one

another,


are the

arching

rainbows

that fill

the sky.


we walk

in spirit

dreams

across a thousand

miles of sea

never to

be awaken,


across the

thousand

bridges

of life

never to

pretend.


and we

swim in

the seas

chasing are

dreams to

one another

effortlessly,


much like

a mother

breast

feeding

her new

born babe.


and my

dreams for

you are

deep and

full.and

quench my

thirst,


as the

rainbows

bend and

leap into

your eyes...


for only

me to

wander

and pray

upon...


and nourish me

until all time


runs dry.

under black

night star lite,


I would be

your pillow,

and my dreams

your sheltered

grace.


and in

these moments

of salvation

I would give

you all

that I am.


the travels

of many roads

the tears

of many hearts.


I would lay

down upon

your dreams

and cover them

with mine.


a thousand miles

away ,



only a

moment"s  wink

in time,


when I

hold close

this moment

and  think of

it  as mine.

Clouds dance

like children

playing in

open blue sky.


and under

them I

day dream

of you

and where you

are and what you

are doing?


it is

the grace of

knowing

you that makes

me think of

you and pray.


that you are

well and

loved deeply

and held close

in the

morning when

you awake.


that your eyes

are bright

and full

of wonder.


just as I

wonder about

you and the

deep sighs

that you

take at

first kiss

on this Tuesday

morning


day dreaming

of you.

I seek
your smile,
like a six
year old
engulfed
in the
curiosity
of you.

I peek
through
the diamond

paned windows
of your
thoughts
that you have
left  open
to me.

everything new.

somethings
unexplained.

in the still
moments before
dawn,
I sit here
at my
keyboard
and talk to
it about you.

the joys
you feel.

the heart aches
we hide.

and then
you give
me pieces
of you.

and I
hold them
dear.

like sunlight
to flowers.

you awaken
me again.

In the baptism
of your
exhaustion

from the

night before.

I would guard
your sleep.

and prop
your head
upon my
chest.

let my thoughts
pour over
you,
like a soft
rain.

I would tend
your garden
while you
slept, and
play
like a
child with
your tangled

angel hair.

I would hum you
a melody in
your ears.
and keep your fears
at bay...

I would sit
and watch
you sleep.

In hope that
in the morning
when you
awake.

we would be

everything.

In thought

of you

here,

Heart

fleeing
from across
your face.

to stalled
heart beats.

from one
moon
to the next.

back
time.

upsetting
the gentle
balance
of the
universe.

because your
not really
there.

your here
with me.

as the tide
wipes the beach
clean of false
impression.

so have you
allowed me
and my

heart
to breathe

again.

If we were 10.

through
my child's
eye,

thoughts
of you
skip across
my mind,

like pebble
thoughts
thrown
on a river.

on a
summer's
day,

while
children play.

to you

and
nothing

each day

a Lovers
prayer
I will
send

to you.

It is the wanting,
the hunger of
wet and fire sparked
flesh that
drives you
like a runaway
star across
the night.

leaving all
to look at
the sky
to wish upon
your angel eyes,

and the siren
call of hearts
that beckons
you to wonder,

of this moment
if it is
the greatest
that you
have ever lived.

finally,  free
without

that bind us.

deep in places
of love's  true
consequence.

and inside your eyes.

I see all that
is mine for
the taking.

from a fairy tale
unanswered a long
time ago.

when adolescent
hearts were broken,
and dreams
were left half open,

and all I could ever
hope for was
this one day

I might
find you here.

Come take
your mind
on down
with me .

let our bodies
be canvases
to the tributes
of our
lives.

leave  
our old stories
like tattered
and worn
baggage

by the
door.

others
savior for
awhile.

an old lover's
lament.

not trying
to fill in
each other's
water color
dreams,

with lies
or half
obligated
promises.

and finally
when the
late afternoon

comes to
swallow our
worn
innocence.

close the
door.

leave unsaid
the words
that must
be said.

return us
both with
some dignity


to the outskirts

of our lives.

We move
to our early
morning
lullaby

of the
moon
surrendering
itself
down
to rest.

between us

with no
one else.

our feet

our toes.

Sumatran

in the next

I can do
is look at
you in
amazement
while
you
sleep.

and guard

till you
awake.

and morning

light comes

to kiss your

dreams awake...

Whispered
words
between
us.

your
midnight
lavender
lipstick
a godsend
to my
lips.

we are
spirits
bonded,

but not
to the
mercy
of flesh.

we dream
deeply in
a million
colors,

painting
big white
billy goat
clouds in
our rainbow
dreams.

like children
playing in
a school
yard after
dark.

retreating
from the
idea of
ever having
to go home..

from one
moment to
the next.

we soar
without

prejudice
of lost
innocence.

never
to touch
the ground

again.

Nothing must

the seeds

of all
we might
ever

The gentle
turn of
your smile.

of heart.

rises
and falls.

of siren
yearnings
fill the
room.

words
dangled
out of
place.

sweet
smell
of you.

the magic
of the
air as
you walk
through
my dreams.

laughing
there,

like
a arc
angel
in flight.

carry
me away.

far from
view.

to the
places
where
all good
things
go.

to shed
their
lies
and reveal
themselves.

on God's
cutting
floor.

where the
two
becomes
one.

and the
one,
is
never

again.

From the first
moment that
I saw you
I knew,

You are
everything in
this moment,

from heaven
to eternity and
back again.

your sleepy
eyes like dark
pools of
open desires
whispering to
me in
the night
"love me",

and I am
captured there.

by the taste
of your lips,
like a
thought to
a ocean breeze
you carry me
far from
where I have
ever been.

and my heartbeat
quickens
as I lay
over you
and gently ******
into you,

and time
is the
only thing
that matters

this time
with you.

and who
I am I
to say
what love
is ,

but certainly though
it must find
it's roots
here in
our hearts.

as I bleed
to you,
and you
bleed out
to me.

and quench  
the passion
of all that
lies within
us.

and in
this first night.

I know I
can feel it.

we become
something else...

It is in
your smile
this dance
that we share
between us.

steps unrehearsed
words not
written.

hearts beat
quickened every time
I hear your
voice,

and your
touch is the
essence of
angels,

right at the
moment
when your
wings lay
upon me.

in this naked
moment of
love and
understanding.

you are always
with me
in wind and
rain
and stormy
moments.

you cascade
over me,
and love me
deep
without hesitation.

and the taste
of your body is
every where
as it should
be every morning
when we first
awake.

every moment
when I kiss
your lips,

every moment
when I reach
to love you

envied by
the dawn

Our prayers

that

us.

moments
­that we
navigate
upon,

like
stars
of the

in your
siren
smile.

only
contentment
as you
rise
your
eyes
to mine.

in the
mist
of fallen
dreams,

amongst
the rumble
of broken
hopes.

you will
always
find
a moment
to tenderness

here.

waiting
for you

in my
eyes.

You are

the sunrise

to my

morning

every

morning,



the bringer

to light

and warmth

and the

vanquisher

of shadow

dreams.



you are

the gate

keeper

to all

that lies

inside you,



and I the

pauper

that stands

before your

gate.


one hand

open for

your generosity

of caring,


one hand

open for

you to

touch

my fate.


in these

distant

times when

we walk

on separate

paths


that still

somehow

have

brought

us here,


to this

place

this understanding,


that we

are so

much

more together


than we

could ever

be apart.

Basking in
love's sheltered
bliss,

open vessel
of times
searching
sand dropping
south.

sunset colors
smeared, by

a careless
God's
child like  hands
at play.

to count
down the
minutes.

to exhale
the breaths
that nurture
us,

and
give us
life.

love becomes
our devotion


our loss
of it,

the bleeding

of our
tragic
hearts..

time
almost
done.

there is a
bounty
to be
paid in full,

by all
who have
not
welcomed
it.

by those
who did
not dance,

in awe.

There is
a prelude
to your
smile,

and my
thoughts
some days
bask
there,

like a
jungle
cat
in shade
on a
steamy
hot jungle
afternoon.

and I
drift in
and out
of dreams,

like a
boat
arching
above
and below
the crests
of each
approaching
ocean wave.

not caring
of height
or depth
or direction
or wind,

but only
that I
am with
you for
this moment
sharing
this space
in time,

and dancing
with you
in God's
full view.

and suddenly
at midnight

my time

I imagine

you waking
far across the

desert sands

sleep blossoms

still in your eyes,


and suddenly I

see your smile,



and suddenly

this moment

becomes
the best
dream

of all.

the positioning of souls


you may

weep to cleanse

my face,


I may

sing to

bring

joy to

your day.


and the

streams blend

to rivers


and sunlight

warms the belly

of high

clouds.


and we

are each

of these

things.


not one

more or

less

than the

other,


open wide

around me,


hold your

arms unforgiving

around my soul


let me feel

your cycles

as they

weave

around

me,


with truth

honor and passion

for all that you

do..


and just

as God

the creator

has placed

the moon perfect

from the earth,


and placed

the sun

perfect

to the

universe.


so has

he placed

you and I


to each other.


no darkness...


blending

as one...


a destiny


not two...

we were
puzzle pieces
that never
quite fit .

even now
many years
later and
a few
ruff edges
torn and
broken off,


edges
that still
reach out
and cut
and bleed
our heart,

fresh flesh
for the taking.

but still
at night I
dance clumsily
in my head
with you,

rarely making
eye contact,

breaking
emotional toes
and feelings
like they were
just peanuts
on a cheap
back water
bar floor.

and this is
all now
that is
left of us.

the puzzle
dance,

a beginning
that will
never end.

(for a friend who still wears the
scars deep from ****)


Years later

like old black

shoes he

will never

wear again.

your covered

in secrets

and cobble

webs that

watercolor

your eyes in

only grey

and black.

and love

no longer

clings

to you,

you fear it

and like

a beaten

fish.

teeth bloodied

and crimson red.


you catch it

and then

without

ceremony

throw

it back.


his arms

are still

all around

you his

mouth tearing

flesh from your

lips.the

pressure of

his weight

is all

encompassing.


and he

is not

sorry,

and he

never will

be.


he only

fantasized about

a moment

and then

the moment

set him

free.

Wake
up clementine
lover.

a dove
has flown
out our
bedroom
window.

and deep
pools
of melancholy
still lie in
your
eyes from

the night

before.

and the
morning
remembrance,

leaves us
with these
whispers
we share.

that shape us.


bend us
to one
another's
needs.

and as
your
hand
lies so
tightly
within
mine in

first light,

remember
too.

in this
day or
a million
next...

I never
will
never ever
let your
spirit

go...

A drink of
your smile.

and the
world
feels
lighter
again
.
like the
underbelly
of circus
clouds
parading
in the
wind.

it is 1:00 a..m.
and I know
somewhere
your
checking
your watch.

waiting
for love
to come.

it's late.

and it leaves
you with
a sickening
gut feeling.

like a lover
who cheated
out your
back door
before you
could awake.

better be
gone.

and wipe
his
Achilles
kisses
from
your lips.

and then
I will
sing
to you.

whisper songs
in your
ears
and heart.

and we
will dance,


be each
other's

saviors

again.

like pieces
of bread
in a sandwich.

and it
doesn't
matter
what life

might ever
put between
us .

we sing.

It gets between
your heart beats,

and then they
beat out
of tune.

the rust of
stupid hearts
and dreams that
you dreamed
would forever
come true.

but you never
truly gave
your self to
those dreams.

and now
the rust holds
you in place,
to hang in the
same familiar
moment too
long like a fly
waiting for
the spider's
final verdict
in a web.

talk to her
now she
is only 23.

but she will
be the same
at 33 or someday
43 lying in
her bed.

telling the same
old lies
moaning the
same old
regrets.

welcoming
the next warm
body to
"love her".

sad.

she never wanted
more.

she never
walked for
a moment

on love's  two
way street,

so let
the spider
dine alone...

if only
she would
of ever
fallen
in love
for a
single moment,

perhaps that
would of made
all the
difference

in the
world...

Walking like

old wobbly

peg

out of

it's hole



upon some

broken

game board

reality of

me.



open questions

in my head

fall through

me like

*****

water falling

through some

circling  cosmic

drain.



and for

ever in a

day,



I thought I

would be

the one

for you.



you window

shopped me

good,



and then

you just

walked on

by.



carrying your

lover"s

cross

and

leaving me



in  your

shallow

unkept

grave of



" I love

you, and

I love

you too"

This morning

while holding your

note in my

hand.


the sun

fell unexpectedly

full somersaults

from the sky.

a fiery pinwheel

of downward

motion.


a molten

avalanche

of gigantic

proportions.

crashing all

around me,

as I sat

at my

morning table

eating my Monday

ritual

of oatmeal

and wheat bread.


abiding to

doctors orders

like an old dog

trying to be

taught new

tricks.


now uncertain

of what is to

become of me,



I know only

one thing

for sure.


I would of

loved you

one more day

with all my heart,


if you

would

of let

me.

In my dream
it was coming
on Christmas,

it was
the birth
of a journey
unlike anything
that I
had ever
been on
before.

and it
was the
first time
for feelings
that I
had never
felt before.

and I knew
it was you
in my heart,

from the
first moment
that I saw
you.

something definite
magically defined
like silver stars
that dance on
the blackest
sky on
a chill
winter's night.

and ask nothing
of the sky
but a view.

a soft and
tender kiss
that can
never be forgotten.

and as
I hold
you now,

I still
witness the
stars dancing
in your
eyes,

in this life
that has become
our grace.

in the
dreams that
I have found
my true love

in the
universe
that I have
found in

you.

in the
silence of
a tender
smile

upon your
face.

tonight.

You take
my
breath
away
with
your

teardrop
smile.

your imaginary

fire *******
kisses

and angel
laughter
in the
middle
of our
night.

while
a canopy
moon crests
over a
star
filled
night.

the heavens
bend
to you.

and your
gentle
ways.

and your
angel
smile.

and to
all the
wonders
about
you that
I hold
so dear
to me.

the celebration
of sky
is you

in all
this sky
can hold.

and a
moment
without
you.

would
certainly
be the
absence

of sky

itself.

I could sit

on this beach

with you

till eternity

tires and

makes it

way to

weary rest.


we could

drink coffee

between friends

and spin

and toss

a midnight

naked tale

or too.


and truth

and honesty

would bathe

us and

patience and

friendship

would take

us gently

by the

hand,


just as if it

had been waiting

for us here

for a life

time.


or if

this moment

as all

we have


look

into your

eyes and

forget all

else,

and you

would be

well with

me,

and I would

be your

caretaker

at your

side.

and nothing

else

would matter,


but this

single star

I see in

the sky

tonight.

Between
my God
and river
and earth.

your breath
your
open
heart,

is the
only constant
of the universe
inside
my imagination.

questions lie
unanswered,

like so many
pawns
left
unplayed
on a stone
tablet
chessboard
in a park.

and my
thoughts
fall to
you.

and my
open
hand
reaches
for you.

and the
crimson
color of
dusk
turns
to ash,

and star
gates
hide
in the
deepest
parts
of space.

where
your dreams
lie


and my
thoughts
and dreams
lie
with you.

unashamed
only
pure
in touch.

and I
am certain.
the
sun only
rises

because

it knows
to where
you
are.
