Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance (CS)

Poetry and other words

candle dance
the tick-tick gentle
of the clock
an indigo sky…
i watch the snow
celestial as it falls
and softly so

Not the stars. I go out to see
the night's midnight blue
and the deep, empty

spaces in between
- the parting of our fingertips -
inhabited by our loss.

One life is only as close to the next
as the stars appear to us;
as if we could measure it

between our finger
and our thumb.

It was the ocean between them
with every color
of the sea,
an entanglement
of storm and depth
of grey and green
and the blue that bound
the two together.

the soul is where
we touch and heal
explore, remember
selves to self, to other
all the rest is dross

I'm sure I've seen you
before ... I recognize you
from a thousand dreams.

Humble love poems
never ask for anything
but your perception.

i hold you like the sky
which is to say, you
already live inside
my heart —

after all that's
happened to me
in this i believe—
sometimes ghosts
are angels and
darkness is
light...

a normal day
with things to do
left undone
a crash of thunder
the sadness returns

once a lifetime
a string of words
comes along

decadent, exotic
timeless and
one of a kind

the ones that
draw your soul
into another dimension

where dreams
are made of
moonlight and
eternal spring

Let me
kiss it better

the emptiness
that consumes you

my Love,

the light of my heart

penetrating
radiating
replenishing

with
laser-focused
potency

We will
never know
its like again.

Surrender.

the sun is bright
birds sing
the ghost
lives in my bones
if only
you had said
goodbye
touched with
one last kiss
I could survive
