A Few More Poems

my days are alight 
and nights burn 
in a quiet fire
love's incandescent longing
parches me dry
and yet
in that constant flame
I find you
oct 9, 2012-7

words
yours and mine
spongy, squishy, marshmallows
tasting of love

Oct 7, 2012-6

Words

yours and mine

tenuous tendrils

reaching out

 in hope

Sep 2012-6

Words

Yours and mine

Well armed, watchful samurai

Circling our truth

Keep us safe

 from it

Sep 2012-5

They sulk

 they fret

they seek me out

they don’t forget

they weep aloud

in my wilderness

the words we left

unsaid

Sep 2012-4

Come

Let us dwell

In the spaces

Between our words

Where our truth hides

In its sweet intensity

Sep 2012-3

My love will find you

Wherever you are

And keep you warm

With a thousand hands

My love will find you

When you walk alone

And shadow you

 With watchful steps

My love will find you

and you will not know

why sweetness swells

and fills you with

a moments ache

my love will find you

Sep 2012-2

My love blooms

Blood red

On sharp cactus thorns

The milky sap

Sweet poison

Runs through

My veins

Dying I am

More alive

Than I ever was
