Smaller each day

Psyche had to dream 
that you moved away
to cope with the loss.

I saw you packing
everything up tight.

She waved goodbye 
as you sailed away,
getting smaller 
and smaller each day.

Further from touch
till the wind 
doesn't carry your 
scent to me anymore..

Before we say goodbye 1/14/15

I bury my face in your red roses.
Hoping to find the nape of your neck,
its soft, but not the same at all.
One more time before we say goodbye

Wishing I could taste
the sweet pine smell of your cheek
on my pillow again
Waking up wrestling with
memories and my dreams
all kinky leg wrapped
toes tangled, hair awry.
Wishing… doesnt bring peace
but maybe your maple earth smile will.
One more time before we say goodbye

I have a plaster cast of us holding hands.
Eternally, so white, so pure.
Graceful, its like, they dont know about our fights.
An alternate reality.
They just hold hands like nothing has happened.
But his hand isnt damp and soft like yours,
the fingers I want to put in my mouth
just one more time, before we say goodbye

Just one more time
look at me like I am deep sea treasure
Like you love me and that means something
deeper then you've ever felt.
Dive deeper.
Just one more time
share your appreciation with me...
the sparkly twinkle that happens
in your eyes when we look at each other and realize
that our lives are better because each other.
Just one more time before we say goodbye.

Just one more time before we say goodbye.



IN THE SHADOW OF A RAVEN 5/8/15

Raven flies over head
I am caught in his shadow
Groundless

A swift blessing of the reminder
Flight and wind
Feathers and magic

In the shadow of a raven
that gentle millisecond
where sky and earth meet

I am stillness in soft awe
Infinity bounds
Mortality speaks

A swift song of light and dark
the honor of being caught

under the shadow of a raven.

winters love

hearts in the snow
pink streets glow
foot prints pitter patter
me myself and I
