For two bodies
So far removed
Connected only
By the core
Running onward
Chasing the sun
As one rises
Another falls
‘As the day grows dim, I hear you sing a golden hymn’
-Arcade Fire, Neighbourhood #1 Tunnels

Waiting for you
To wait for me
To decide to leave
What if I disagree?

Passing it on
To another one
To keep or return
Treasure or burn
In case I lose it
Altogether
Etched in time
Captured in mind
To love or miss
Remember or spurn
In case we lose it
Altogether
Staccato notes
Braille fingers
Fading then silent
Reading between
Lines of age
Our common fears
In case we lose them
Altogether

You allowed me in
To linger longer
In your sacred space
I wanted to stay
To turn on
Light and heat
To infuse colour
To decorate
To treasure
Not to short change
Are we deserving
Of such love?


Always holding
Our heart
Open for love

All the books
In the world
All the learned ones
In history
Stop short
Of knowing
The mysteries
Of the matters
Of the heart
For this one cannot
Pursue in degrees
Of books
Or afield
It can only
Be found
In the flesh
In the song
Of our life
One to another

Mysterion – that which awaits disclosure or interpretation
Does love come
With a lifetime
Guarantee?
Is it more
Precious to me
Lived faithfully
Daily

Who to listen to?
My heart tells me
I could grow
Used to you
