What is it like
To love another
like you?
To let their name
linger longer on lips
cited and recited
Incantation
To close your eyes
see lightness pervade
cut through blackness
Meditation
To draw the lines
around your face
as smiles evade
a knowing gaze
Repartee
To lie in wait
until the day
catch a ride
see a face
Resignation
To know the same
happens every day
some place and time
yet never again
like them.
To know what is meant
when they say
love is love is love...
Admiring beauty
From afar
These empty vessels
Won't hold warmth
Nor bear handling
Forgive accidental
Fall from grace
Tiniest touch
Out of place
All seeing
Though clearly
Conversations
Simmer gently
Hands clasped
In dainty laps
Licking jelly slice
From fingers
Longing gentrified
Special ones
Reserved for whom?
She who has kept
Quietly
All the secrets
Denying any
Locked up inside
Things never said
Admittedly
Let me wonder
Turning over
Every leaf
Adorning answers
Oft agreed
Rarely seen
Timeless wander
Speak native tongue
Lamp burns brighter
Windows dimmer
Tides higher
Carry me
To sleep
Remember me?
Swaying gentle breeze
Allay your fears
Rest, at ease
Sunbeating spine tingling
Fancy free
With me
Reflections Light disperses around Casting dancing shadows Until the sun hides Shapes erase Gentle budding offerings Shower like rain 'Till leaves overtake Newness delights no more Still nestled by banks Close to source Roots go deep Shadows grow tall Setting not forgetting Till tomorrow
