Here's to unfinished
Work of art
Begging to converse
Tease of drip of acrylic
Poised end of brush
Imagination fills places
Where longing left off
Blank space...
The unfinished work

Giving
Neither up nor in
Constant as the sun
Giving vibes of life
Warmth and light
Though sparks, fire ignite
So too, my heart
Twilight
Darkness evaporates
Into morn
Dreams dissipate
Plans borne
Days began with a shake
From my bunk
To swing a sextant
On the bridge wing
Eyes fixed on
Horizon and stars
Now her warmth bleeds
Into my eyes
Setting my heart
On fire once again
Ready to launch
Allow me to launch
An idea, feeling
Observation
Into thin air
Let it hang
As long as it will
Neither deflate
Or fill with hot air
Shoot down or up
To the atmosphere
Satellite of love
In orbit
Soak
Confidently, I play
Right on her doorstep
Knowing full well
She is often somewhere
Else with someone else
I soak in the presence
Pacific Gulls and seals
Fitness freaks and
Dogs on leash
But mainly, the presence
Of myself
Still standing
Under the wire
Rumination of swallows
Looking down on me
What a push over
If heaven were a song
This day plays repeat
In the quiet hours
Of my memory
If I were a meadow
She'd be a stream
By the rivulet
Watching the flow
Mingling of elements
On the rivers' edge
Carrying living seeds
New creations
To eternal sea
Unfathomable beauty
Torn between keeping
Surface undisturbed vs
Diving right in
Instead I gaze
Every passing day
Looking beyond reflection
Still waters run deep
Making waves
When we meet
A standing wave
Between two tidal streams
Going different ways
Shine
Though loyalty shone
Like the morning sun
Some chose to close
The blinds to it
Count the stars of heaven
