you arrive in disguise,
no longer vague,
your nakedness lost in
a sweep of black.
your honesty rips me
out of my head
and when i snap back,
if I could breathe,
i would scream your name.
i want . . . more

Your world caves in
Around you
Within you
The pain too palpable
To face
To fight
Embracing the dark
Surrendering
Relenting
Blind to those
Who love
Who care
And bring you light
To give . . . more

I lie alone, eyes wide
body crumbling beneath the weight
of imagined demons
You cross forgotten deserts
scorched deities ignoring
your noble farce
The buddha’s eyes narrow

they removed a chunk
stole it from a mysterious place
pink and hidden
and dropped it into a sterile plastic jar
left it on the counter
for me to contemplate.
it looked at me

I press the memory of you
against my creased brow,
leaving a shadow stain
that will not fade.
I spread the essence of you
across my skin
recalling simplicity
of desire and flight.

Slowly awaken
unwilling to open
eyes to a nightmare
no longer there
one eye opens slowly
left glancing then right
the other snaps open
both clear of sight
undimmed by the night

He stood stock still
and was amazed
She filled his eyes
and left him dazed
so much unlike
where he was from
the mountain stood

I know the cry of your soul, for it is mine,
and I can hear it in the distant sound of your heart beat,
in the sounds of the sweet earth
and in the misty rain that falls,
in the crashing of the ocean, . . . more

Catching up
Here and there
Smile. Hug. Kiss
Holding me
Laying next to me
Having your way with me
Rest. Repeat. Walk away.
Door shuts
Out of sight
Out of mind
Out of luck
Out . . . more

Waves crash over me
Salty blue water chokes
Arms and legs treading
Head back trying to stay afloat
Gulping for air
Ocean tosses this rag doll
Looking through water's window pane . . . more

Deep red lines
-placed artistically
-on a canvas of paleness
-wan and waning
-the red is a welcome color
-to a drab existence

Melt into me
like the snow
during spring's thaw,
bringing to life
that which was frozen.
Envelop me
with the warmth of you,
and lay to waste
that which is cold and barren,
frigid . . . more

I would like to dedicate this poem to everyone who has lost a child. In the past couple of days I have read where some of my connections are grieving the anniversaries of children/babies who have . . . more

Starbursts
Spark from wave crests
To charm a loving pair
Who clasp hands at the liner's rail
And regale as her ring becomes as one
With nature's dancing nighttime heart
And glimpse their . . . more

When she sees him,
her first thought
is of the myth of the Yup'ik
and the hundreds of words
they have for snow.
It seems unfair that English
does not provide her
with hundreds . . . more

I see you in the forest green,
and in the sunlight filtered
through the trees,
dappled on the morning dew,
sparkling and radiant,
I see you.
I hear you in the forest green
as birds . . . more

Your lips on my lips,
a feeling so fine;
Fire and nectar,
truly sublime;
Teasing,
tasting,
incredibly sweet;
Passion unending
each time that we meet.

Oh, how I long to be wrapped in your love,
surrounded by all that you are;
Breathing you in, tasting your lips,
knowing you will not remain far.
Oh, how I wish I could freeze such a moment, . . . more

tangle in my hair, slightly pulling
as you hold me close
and taste my lips, like honey
you say they are;
I want to be your honey
as your lips wrap around

Lying here on the floor
(or is it laying on the floor?)
and do I even care?
(no...right now...I really don't).
Wasn't born a poet, . . . more
