Trees Touch The Air

Quietly trees touched the air
inching toward clouds as
they gently tunneled downward

Their branches weighted to the
changing days
slowly sailed ships that
moved onward

Trees with clothes, wheels, and flowers
drawn upon their leaves
now sail their ships
with true natures inaudible
still cling to each other somehow

As their roots breathe in hardened air 
and their branches walk through stone.

One Heartbeat Away From Breaking

Demurring
tombs of sadness
acquiesce and ascend
above a robin's fading cry

With benevolence
bent on addiction
chains the carcanet
as the wind chimes play

to a dancy fromage
one heartbeat
away from breaking



.

Woods In Bloom

 Spring is
a good girlfriend

Her flowers bring  forth

an ancient gladness

I love

.
.
.

In the Arena

Is the old way out?
in this way only is
romance about
the way I love you

I can sense you in the area
on a sign outside where
the gates to the ocean open
lay the earth behind my blinds

A wedding bell chimes
the lull to be kept in
pursuing a hope without gradually
caring whatever that means
growing within love
in the beginning
dreaming there is no left there

Squeezed by her legs
and pressed into the sun
a place a home
the earth behind
my blinds
opening the floodgates of an ocean.

Each Day's A Chance

Each day is a chance to watch love grow

  And I flew with a Dancer's Heart

feeling Love's music awakening my soul

            

.

Named By The Sky

We are alive

And the trees lift their

golden arms and the clouds

flower into gothic messengers

of reawakening

And as startled -

as delighted by the

morning bird's song

In us contained

the truth, and a chance

opaque, wild,  inescapable

as we drag the sea through

and believe in silence.

.

A Thousand

  .
                                         

We had
a thousand scars for every one he had
 taken a thousand more pills
and resurrected ourselves a thousand more times

Waking  last  night  thinking

about     l i f e    wondering
questioning  if  it's  all - right  

to love somebody this much 

the dangers

of being this
                   high and  the

                   mistakes you

 can make.   Like  asking

 to  be  stabbed  to death

 because  you  like  r e d .

                                                          .

Through Me

She moves

 through me as Spring moves
gently through the lines written on her leaves.

Lifting slowly through my veins

 Softly speaking to me 

Of the Life

That She sustains

..

Life Is An Infinity Of Change

.

As day spins into night
the sun burning hot recedes from view
and dusk captures the imagination.

                                                 Life is an infinity of change...

We Saw The Sun Break Through The Sky

.

Each night

the air
 trusted the sun

to turn her
sky

But when the
wind complained
last night

hiding the moon
and rain 
chanting
we grew
scared and confused
knowing  what was
at stake

We knew without light
we could not live, but we also
knew we had to trust the dark

So we moved below

 the skin's unimportance

and trusted our seeing
to the dragon's eye

And we held together
through the stormy weather
until  the sun
broke through
the sky.

*Dragon's Eye - love, wisdom, power
  compassion & understanding. Sometimes represented with the triangle symbol.

When I Felt Her Words

When I read
 her words 

   I knew that I was in Love.

'With a jolt

my heart sped

 when thy voice

 like lightning

   struck so quickly.'

Seeing, Believing, and Feeling
their beauty
 Burning  Like Fire  behind  my  eyes...

.

A Closeted Dream

The storm 

arose in his mind.
A cloud spoke

'it's your turn to die!'

the rain wept

while the sun hid
enraptured
in the honey of space.
