I gave you all
let it slip straight through
my heart overflowing smiles
directed straight at you
So you felt full
a new confidence showed
as we confided stories
and our hopes glowed
but you pierced a hole
not in you but in me
nothing left to share
the truth I finally see

just as I was leaving
you found me again
now we’re right back
onto that same track
you make me want to stay
you make me want to go
wherever you decide now
I’ll figure out how
each with a foot out the door
we found an anchor of hope
like a welcoming homecoming
a reminder of becoming
when we lost touch then
we lost our way to stay
yet here at a crossroads now
we have place to share our odes
you kept in my time
feelings ticking on your wrist
a subtle reminder of me
and what we may not see to be
while I tucked away mine
let the hands fall still
waiting for a chance to tick
yet on your day it’d stick
because once we reached
our time coincided
the days the same
despite what the calendar said

no money, no rent
no way to meet ends
yet you daydream away
hoping somebody else tends
a day laid in bed
a blanket blocking out
no light streaming in
inspiration to move about
until I’m invited again
a smile lift lips
as you start to arise
head resting on my hips
my lap brings comfort
the presence you need
to embrace the real you
as that desire you feed
a connecting you bring
to go deeper you crave
what you hold dearly
you still can save

listening back now
seems so hard to miss
that deep felt desire
for life more than this
so how did we not
see that darkness filling
what light was left
as hope went spilling
radio plays nonstop
an endless tribute stream
what now seems proof
in that musical scream
let us not forget
the reality of those songs
as hopelessness expresses
it feels it belongs
success matters not
when the mind does miss
a light, a hope, a faith
to make life worth this

almost time to sleep
time to say good night
not lie wake to keep
thinking of what might
missing your warm arms
body entangling me tight
a hug holding us as one
knowing our timing falls right
pursuing what has begun
always in each other’s sight

spring is coming
but summer never left
heat makes constant presence
a blanket of too heavy heft
magnolias bloom white
blossoms big and wide
no new color, no new life
no lush green on this side
April waves roll on the beach
I let the water wash me
praying my season to change
salt of the earth to be

Glimpsing your flowers
I need not guess
to discern sunshine
the reason to your air
strolling your garden
I need not dig
to measure the depths
the root of your despair
dancing in rainfall
I need no gauge
to know it’s fertile
this soil we may share
growing together
we need not feast
to fulfill our souls
this one endless prayer
