deadlines

deadlines

dead
lines

pull me forward
to send me back

reassure to take away
my faith too full.

a backwards catch
slips

so have it. 

doubt
to build

my heart blue

fluid clear with faith
to fall

gut
gives way
to your truth
grey

leaves small
and you

contagious

break

a break
awake

a wake
a take.
time

time time ticks

in circles i run
to return
to You.

my sweet sweet You,
Me. love of my life,
heart of my soul,

breathe
be

return
my love
to give.

to share
to bear

that big black space. 

house of my home
full

wise and ready.

the match of many
the gift of one.

blessed with eyes
and burning blood.

thick deep dirt
of warm wise soul

carry many.

honor

the light
switched
off.

you stumbled

to your feet in the dark.
dirt on fingertips
pebbles in palms

where did she go?

ask now.
think hard.
feel
soft,

before
her dusk dawns
new flames.

when frowns
outweigh
smiles

her light carries her away.

motion

in this quiet empty house

i move mountains with heart
and heart with love

as the water washes
i find all that i need

the sound of my breath echos
dark deep cold

mountains with heart
mountains with heart
mountains with heart

and heart with love

one with two
an expanse

each in our own space

work
work
work
buzz
forget

there are no letters

joey
where did they go?

ahhhh

siren's sound faint
as you sing summer's call

and i daydream myself awake to you

held in your hands
i have seen a weak heart

and the vision of my life
came alive as each bare beat
dripped.

sorry so silent

yet the thought still soothes
with hope and heavy time

five dips in the water
and toes in the sand you smile
wink
love
lay me down.

ahhh.

my daydream wakes to sleep
where you carry me back.

never lost

treeline

my home
my cave
my heart

sings in your mind's eye
you wait
want
sit still
and remember
the warmth shared
loved
lost

the pin drops
and peace falls upon me.

i breathe again
smiling
i fall forward

the clouds
so soft on my skin
keep me dreaming

peace comes

heart full
of self
i expand
remember

bitter sweetness

i lost sleep
i lost tears

once before in question
twice before in doubt

forgiven
forgotten
dreams
i remember you once again
hidden

falling jumping
backwards
on words
they break

like walks into the ocean
they crash

once before in question
twice before in doubt

i heard
dreamt it true

found you in
trembling lake

as i swam
into the still
ocean

some tears
never
change.

and the salt will always burn.
