waves break over my heart, as
a realization
dawns
about the clouds
I’ve traveled near
and far
it’s as if the sky
has always
called
me
from the very
start
drawing me closer, I listen,
and learn about the
moisture
within my
veins
it was
always cloistered
yet clearing the pain kept at bay,
opens me up, like
the sky
after a torrential rain…

under an open sun…
I rise from the depths of the sea, surmising all
I’ve seen, in-between the pain handed down,
and the joy,
drowned
into
a special
place in my heart…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

I’ve seen you, the mirror bestood
the shelled husk, and
the ground spoke
in tones
musk
scent delivered, atmosphere tense,
boiling over imminent
as presence fills my being with a firmament,
languid colors
arise
it is
the nature
of everyone
to despise, yet
love is always there, hiding in the alcoves
of hearts and
minds
remove
the fragrance delivered,
and let love
reign
far,
and wide…

I walked through the door once, and into a different land
entirely, sky full of blood, torn in two, it was
a wonder
to feel
the
loss at the center of the vacuum…
thoughts racing, with a heart rendering love, an afterglow
cast,
inside my
chest breathing
fast, and then,
in from the gloom
came you, sure-footed, with a love the size of the moon,
dispelling the shadows in heart and mind,
you did always remind me
of the aliveness
living inside of moments
won
as great clarity did come, and you and I settled in
for an
afternoon
under the sun…

walking into misery, watching it unfold, it envelops me
like a cloak, I
drown from within, you were just here, how could
it have been…understanding loses meaning,
as heart breaks into a thousand
pieces
shattering like glass, spreading out through the air,
diamond bits rest in my chest, throat stuck,
tongue thick, with
a mind
blinking
into
a
mist…
traveling back in time, unavailable, so will settle
on memories lying dormant
in mind, and
heart
though
they
do
tell the story of your love, divined
deep as the ocean is wide, you did your best, while
dealing with your pain
like a mime
and, while goodbyes are unnecessary, I would like to tell
you how much I love you,
one last
time…

heart opening up to new realities,
I see much more today than any other day,
when dismay was more present, the gifts all around,
did sway
in the breeze gently, head down, furious pace,
lost, and wondering where to turn about…
looking up, the sky always tried to offer solace,
and a way to stay
keeping the pain at bay,
and as
clarity dawned, after much work on heart,
and many tears did
pour forth
cleaning and cleansing all the broken parts,
offering a healing in the light, when at its darkest
was the night
a shining, there was, and meet it, I did, where
time stops, and we’re present to all we’ve done,
and give thanks to
a heart filled with love, that always was…

heart broken into a million pieces,
agony inside, the time in-between
now and then, set aside
for a moment, like an eternity, dreaming
of other scenes, can’t possibly be reality, pulling
me down into this demise…
watching your hand leave mine, fingers outstretched
into another time, breaking solidity,
besides
the filament continues to flicker, wavering
in the night sky, pulling me towards belief, I
sigh…
remembering your face, holding you in arms, wide,
trying to make another sky
and portal to an alternative world, where the two
remain together, not ever bidding each other
adieu…
instead, remain together they do,
by simply saying
I love you…

tiredness is present, like a gift from the heavens,
head in the clouds, I dream of the absence
found
in-between the margins of peace, tranquility, and
the pain bound
together
like dreams come to me, instead of sleep,
filling the space with images profound…
listening to my heart first, becomes
the knowledge bestowed, controlled, not,
instead,
the loud drum,
and thrum,
vibrations
come
towards the vistas trees, in need of sanity, destabilizing
the wishes seen, and, providing us all with a
love gleaned…

I’m covered in a blanket of darkness
as the wind caresses my skin,
and opens me up again
wide, as the sky is deep, I pause
and breathe all of life in…
closing my eyes, I try to remember
why
and where we last met, as love arises
within
towards
the thinness, atmospheric tension, begins…
a tranquility, and calmness beneath the sea, stirs,
and a tremble in the earth shakes
the reverie combined,
mirth
set aside for the dawn,
as love blossoms over the sun…
