I lived a thousand lives before
You walked into this last of them
For how could I return once more
If you would not be there?

8/15/2023 – rhyme
A rhyme is when two things collide
And in their hearts agree
That close together they reside
Upon the same bright sea
That in their essence is the same
Light shining ev’ry way
So much they share, share all but name,
That ‘like they are, we say
For this I cannot but conclude
That when it comes to me
Naught else, I think, could be construed
Than that I rhyme with thee
8/9/2023 – with you
A moment
Is the briefest second
When I gaze in your eyes
Yet a moment
Is a long lifetime
When I wish it to be
A happy lifetime
With you
8/4/2023 – a life with you
A life with you
Is peaceful
Yet thrilling
Is right
Yet strange
Is fulfilling
Yet filled with a longing for the horizon
A life with you
Is sailing by the stars
Is flying through mountains
Is burrowing in the earthen warmth
In winter
A life with you
Would be a wondrous thing
Has been a perfect thing
Is everything
And more
A life with you
Will be something
Inexpressibly amazing
7/28/2023 – every sense
Without you here within my sight
I fall upon a shadowed road
As if the whole world fell to night
And took back every sense it had bestowed
7/25/2023 – candles to the sun
Your smile
A balm
Unlike any
No salve nor poultice
Of earthly mean
Could seem to teem with such
Life
As candles to the sun
Are they
7/19/2023 – once again
When I am in shadow
You are light
When I am in cold
You are warmth
When I am in the depths
You are the hand reaching
Pulling me to safety once again
7/18/2023 – still be true
You walked so light of foot along
The narrow way upon the wall
While whistling some forgotten song
That birds then answered with their call
And that was just one moment I
Fell deeper still for you
My spirits lifted up so high
I wondered if this all could still be true
7/15/2023 – sing you
I’ll sing
I’ll sing you
All your music
All your harmonies
All your discordant tones
All your heavenly melodies
All your deepest and most somber notes
That all might know the you I know
That all might hear of you
That all might see
The you
I see
6/13/2023 – etch you
Let me etch you
Into the shadowed places
Into the hidden corners
Of my mind
Let me paint you
Upon the brightest walls
Upon the highest towers
Of my soul
Let me write you
In all the secret nooks
In all the lonely seats
In all the broken parts
Of me
