I thought about the world
its time and its space
guiding lovers aloft
with a most subtle trace.
You touched my hand
I revealed my heart
the sand still the same
for souls that never part.
I whisper your troubles
you sink deep in my eyes
mountain tops surround us
and the moon touches the sky.
Hold me on nights quiet as any
as I long for your love
with my breath on your lips
together we rise up above.

It was spring
the sun brightened
the pink petals
on my bedspread
watered by a heavy flow
of tears gushing from
my reddened eyes–
tears taking root
building a home
inside my broken soul.
Palms held together
praying, cradling myself
from the clutching grip
on my heart, how it
seizes the air from my lungs
and burrows holes in
me, tearing down
walls of my
spirited existence.
Muffled wails
shed more streaming tears
into the lonely recesses
of night–
weepy still at dawn.
But in the frail...

I can look up at a blue sky
like it’s here just for me
on a day when gray clouds
would have pulled me
into the ground, the way
the earth drinks the rain.
I can write my emotions
in a poem till I’ve emptied
my soul, less weighty, less
dispirited over another
estranged someone I gave
my heart and needed to
take it back.
I can wake up tomorrow
and it will be the next day
farther from this one
full of intrinsic belief
that the sky inside my heart
will be blue no matter...

Above the wind’s howl
my heartbeat quivers;
still alive, still in love.
In between drops of rain
hitting my window pane
my love searches for you
in it’s empty spaces.
Upon a dark and wintry night
my warmth, an amber glow
brightens the happy
corners of your smile
on a cold and rainy night
when loving you
was never more right.

I found the direction
to your heart
along the road
to your soul
both brimming
with tender sweet love.
I’m held close
with wanting limbs
of such gentle strength.
Your fingertips trace
the curvature of my smile
amid morning quiet
deliciously pining for
each other with a kiss,
and again, I am reminded
by sweet breath we share
how we will always
love this way
since discovering
who we are
in each other’s arms.

In my perfect life
I grow vegetables
and lots of herbs
right outside
through the kitchen
screen door, opening
to my garden.
With shears in my hand
I’m cutting basil and
parsley for an Italian
dinner. I’m happiest
when the tomatoes are
red and ripe, and there’s
enough zucchini for a
whole summer. Across
the garden, a man is in
the garage, tinkering
with electronics to see
if he can get them going.
He watches me
picking vegetables,
kneeling, hands in the soil.
He’s...
