On a ledge
Icy depths below
We stood together
Withstood wind and fire
Hands intertwined
Felt our grip loosen
I thought strongly
The icy depths
You held on
I was grateful
Yet one day
A calm breeze
We could walk away
You did
I followed while
We parted ways.
When for a moment,
the flowers we groom,
they don’t go away,
the sunlight brings
soft petals to life.
When for a moment,
we have this room
on a sunny day
in all our sharing’s
we haven’t any strife.
When for a moment
if we might groom
the nature of our way
could we know bearings
could we love life.
Oh if only in a moment
life could be so easy.
It does take me somewhere,
like all the poets before,
there seems to be a where
we wish to know its roar.
In the quiet of contemplation
our hearts do feel some
need for a sweet resolution
this day we think will come.
If only in a lovely song
I might feel her touch
If only I hadn’t been wrong
we might love as much.
I spoke too soon that summer eve
forever watching her beauty leave.
Standing on the sidewalk
yearning eyes
and darts behind bricks
in the corner
of the street.
Like life we task
ourselves
a journey, some place
to call our own
yet we run
we cannot stop
ourselves wanting to
wishing to find our way.
Like the animal
on the street corner
always hiding from prey,
aways the stock street broker.
Simple elegance
spoke to everyone today,
such is her stature.
Opened a door
and there she stood
just like before
she hadn’t changed.
His wonder in silence
if he might, could,
his heart now chance
their lives rearranged.
He did say hello
smiled as she would
could she see him glow,
in this brief exchange.
He felt in his soul a pang
His heart in hers did hang.
Words
just want to wait
a whisper, an
utterance.
What am I
I wonder to myself.
If I speak without thought,
what echo would
erase the lost solution.
There’s another
correct word on the horizon,
gives perspective
present mind
words
I can feel my body
and realize
just how pent .
I have Pachelbel
in my brain
forever lost and wanting only
some reservoir
to cleanse his soul,
quiet intimacies so lost,
unsure
yet, now there is a path
he’s sure
wandering refuge
where beauty and gentle souls
forever visit.
I knew
We could know
Just in eyes
We could know
I once
Took a chance
Said hello to love
Felt her return
I knew that
Because she taught me
How to love
Because once.
Our lives
Together
Apart
We stood in line
Avoiding the lead
Always a smile
Always a need
We were in a pose
Not quite like those
Standing together
Expressing smiles
Loving each other.
