I keep
looking but
never seeing
that twinkle
of light
upon the
eye of
one that
caught mine
mirroring a
tiny sliver
of Heaven
but now
all I
see is
darkness an
eternity of
no one’s
and nothing
Month: August 2023
IGuess
I guess
that I
for now
anyway sit
in dark
listening to
Satie remembering
all those
notes that
I used
to play
across the
piano keys
of your
delicate ribs
finally landing
my hand
upon your
chest and
feeling heart
knowing then
you weren’t
a dream
SlowLy
I have recently decided
to slow down my
life to think more
and to breathe more
but dreams well dreams
came before long before
life happened to me
What I find interesting
is that my dreams
from so long ago
have either been forgotten
or fulfilled and now
reside in my memories
which and where I
now enjoy by my
slowing down breathing more
MorningStorm
Imagine if you will
we were laying together
here in my bed
listening to Satie or
Bach and against my
window we hear the
tap tapping of rain
as you turn to
me and I dot
and dash the same
code on your chest
my fingers becoming rain
and your body land
would you move closer
to the storm of
me or pull away
oh I think you
would inch inch inch
nearer and your laughter
would roll from your
lips like thunder claps
heralding love’s morning storm
Wait
There’s nothing wrong
except being listless
like a sail
lacking any wind
or weeping willows
absent of breeze
simply being here
waiting and waiting
for my purpose
like clouds gathering
on the horizon
I bring hope
of something else
of something new
of something different
but then when
when yet again
when once again
the first suggestion
or first memory
or first mention
of what happened
once before or
even many times
that which I
thought just might
never ever does
and I and
you sit waiting
waiting and waiting
