Stake our claim
In deeper waters
So we may tie
Wavering souls
To solid ground
Beneath the sea
Evade tidal waves
Collapse into me
High time

Jumping Jack Flash
A poignant question
A poignant question
Posed to me by me
By mark of time
Who would love
Such one as I
Indiscriminately
Mine?
The notion begged
Ten thousand words
Just to describe
Such question
Then eighty thousand
More to write
Each possible retort
Once most likely
Hypothetical
Option I could find
At least another
Twenty thousand
Words crept through
My mind
Not until the warmth
Of one enamoured
By my side
To find stillness
Just to rest
These lips
Speechless
On mine
Heart song
Holding heart space
In frond of hand
A treasure unmeasured
Past one life span
Generations woven
Stories breathe in
Warming the hearth
Give love to our kin
Mothers and lovers
A pure sacred rhyme
Tend one another
Each chorus in time
Things we learn
All the things
I learned from you
Prepared me to
Meet someone new
Somehow you saw my
Future whereas I
Stared at rear view
Wondering when
You'd follow through
Storytelling
Stories we tell in our heads
Become placeholders
For our future selves
Unless we hold space
For our word and breath
To live on in others
Hopeful tide
Pressed against freckled
Trunk and limbs
Spreading out holding
Horizon caving in
Concrete walls collide
With rays of fading
Warmth of hopefulness
Create our own breath
Out and in
Between two bodies
Stem the rising fate
A smile
A glimpse
A kiss
You win
Sentimental journey
Hidden beyond shores
Evading passing glances
Midden of past lives
Buried under feet
Occasionally arise
A token, memento
Broken dreams
Surfacing
Shards of memories
Words crescendo
New season flush
Cover soft green
Entwine
Tender one tread lightly
Through new landscape
Sights and wonders
Exhilarating new scents
Expanding our senses
Golden hour
While sun still shines
Entwine tendril fingers
New season sublime
Lay bare
Face framed by darkness
I peer inside
Bursting open
Safe from the wilds
Weather with you
All through the night
Laying bare
Come to light
Count the stars of heaven
