I fell into a dreaming pool
Floundered in the depths
Searched for hidden seams of gold
Along the rocky cleft
Carved our names inside a cave
Where weary travellers rest
Forever know, though far to go
This pinnacle true test

I fell into a dreaming pool
Floundered in the depths
Searched for hidden seams of gold
Along the rocky cleft
Carved our names inside a cave
Where weary travellers rest
Forever know, though far to go
This pinnacle true test

Love as many as you will
As long as rising sun
Guides you
Even the ocean has bounds
Its depths seem endless
Its limits rest on sand
Force of waves dance
Expectantly
Why wait on shore
To dive
Come on in
With me you will always
Have a hand to hold
Through riptide spin
No treasure find
Empty shells
Shine on mantle sill
Most glorious gems
Revealed between
Two smiles facing
Our tides move quickly
Back and forth
Silently
Though swell and surge
Nourishing daily
Its limits sketched
In seagrass on gentle
Slopes of sandy canvas
Moving ever closer
Going forward

Planted deep where
No one can upheave
Tiny speck of life
Revealed
So hardy grows up
Hundredfold
Deprived of light
Flourescent white
Glows in the night
Love kindled
Never tended
Knows the only
Way is up
Some one who
Held trust could
Hold space
Some one who
Cared less could
Be silent
Many words could
Shed light
In the darkness
Seeking acceptance
Darkness is only
Absence
Without these words
My love is silent
Empty, without substance
Without your presence
In my world
There is nothing left
But word filled space
On empty page
A solo act
No accolades
Another day
Of waking thoughts
Wandering lost
No tune with yours
Are you guarded
Do you tread lightly?
Would you rather fly
Than be grounded
Forever seeking freedom
Are there threads
Caught between you
Lovers never left behind
Ripples gather round
Only light cast for miles
To reflect beauty
To passersby
Are you high above?
I burn below slowly
Keep heavy hearth stone
Warm if ever you might
Land beside me

If one can find the doorway
That leads into the zone
Where friendships rise
Past loves hide
No one's on their own
Invite as many people
In your life
As it could hold
Keep the journey secret
Don't tell them where it goes
In a quiet corner there
I'll watch the spectacle
With joy and jubilation
To bring life into my home
A simple tune
Calls out behind
Blossoms above
Fall in mind
Echoes through
Hallways clear
Responds in kind
Inside my ear
If only she
Would come to me
Lights out
Across treelined
Contour lines
Iridescence glow
Whites of eyes
No TV screen
Pins of light come out
Across sky canopy ceiling
Hands slip round sides
Holding gently sigh
Head falls forward
Cradled in nape
My nightly escape
Panorama backlit
By swell of moonrise
Stage is ours alone
Close your eyes
We are home
Shedding whole clouds
Downy white tumbling
Blanket soft on eye
Harsh to climb
Melts upon touch
Like yours to mine
Consumed by night
Entire mountain taken
Landscape far less
Forboding without
Possibility to climb
Where would I be
Trail of prints
You left behind
A run away thought train
I feel like a planet falling into a black hole around you. In a good way. Swallowed up by gravity. It flattens me. I submit to it.
Your smile when you look at me is the most beautiful thing I ever saw.
Only to hear you talk so I can press record in my mind and have something to replay on the gray days of my life.
I give you my best thoughts and that is like an eternal hand holding.
