rainbow capsule

glimmering prism,
a promise of scintillating
delights-
this instant
captured
just
for
you.

this moment, private and
ecstatic:
dawn’s promise
magicked into a wonder most miniscule.

such beauty must needs
not be shared
recklessly.
such adoration
demands loving devotion
to that singular wildness
of you.


yet Trust,
ever dogging the heels of Love,
knows no bounds, and tastes
freely the cusp
of every
breath.

so yes, my sweet soul warrior,
as you slip softly
into a dream manifest,
let these words lead you back,
deep inside,
to the shelter
within.

still

waiting.

a cup
that never runneth.

even birdsong
drowns
in its own stagnation.

something,

coming but
never here….

only the
waiting.

waiting for love to finally (re)appear.

waiting for destiny to thrust aside care.

waiting for hope to push back fear.

waiting to age, one more year.

flowing
through rushing currents
of life ecstatic,
still my friend,

i wait for you.

prayer

waiting
for you was never a chore
because you
were always there
next to me.

loving you
burns
like
24 year old scotch
whiskey
slipping under my soul.

life
is filled
with wonder and
peace when
my gaze meets
yours.

you
and
I
shall travel forever

dancing
together on
infinite winds

across the
wings of
memory.

yes,
we will know
eternity.

❤️❤️❤️

Within

i listen
for your wisdom.

i yearn
for your touch.

i close my eyes,
and
almost
feel you
guiding me to safety.

it is so dark,
without you.
the silence
so full.

without,
there is nothing.
but i will find you
within.

and we shall dance again,
as lovers and friends do.
we shall laugh once more
as angels and children do.

i open my eyes
and see through this cloud.

i open my eyes
and see i am here,
with you
in my heart.

i am almost ready to fly again.

Stream

twisting,
and
turning,
and
slipping through
this land
and the next.

what wonders
did you trickle past
before you came
to tickle my toes?

what joy it is
to float with you
and explore these sandy shores.
in this eternal summer
of sunshine and smiles
we are,
love.

but as i climb back on land
you continue on to vistas new.
what will you see?
what will you do?

without me.

will you remember our games?
how we played happily?

will you ever return?

perhaps one day I’ll float along and find you,
but not today.

Twilight

I hear the sun setting.
can you hear it too?

it sounds
like
the beginning
of something new.
it frightens me.
yet, it welcomes you.

I’m not sure if I like it.
No.

I don’t like it.
but,
do you?

in the deep night,
I still
hear that soft
silence
beckoning so sweetly.

the sun rises,
without you.
i heard nothing
crescendo at dawn.

did you?
I’ll never know,
but i do know
that you know
that
I love you.
