Akai Butterfly
Your love to me is a butterfly
Fluttering near, then away with a sigh
My sweet flowers beckon you in
‘til a poisonous breeze calls it a sin
With a gust it batters your wings away
Will your butterfly kiss my petals someday?
With a whisper your magic could morph me too
I’d sprout wings of a butterfly sunny & blue
Fly away, together, we might by & by
If you’d give us a chance, my Akai Butterfly
Fluttering near, then away with a sigh
My sweet flowers beckon you in
‘til a poisonous breeze calls it a sin
With a gust it batters your wings away
Will your butterfly kiss my petals someday?
With a whisper your magic could morph me too
I’d sprout wings of a butterfly sunny & blue
Fly away, together, we might by & by
If you’d give us a chance, my Akai Butterfly

Good-night
Sleep well tonight, my Love
Remember how often I’m thinking of
Your life, your heart, your amazing soul
I dream of knowing e’er more the whole
Of who you are, where & why
Freely sharing each low & each high
Showing & feeling our shared desire
My Love, tonight, dream of my fire
Burning, e’er burning for more of you
So good-night, sleep well this whole night through
Remember how often I’m thinking of
Your life, your heart, your amazing soul

Showing & feeling our shared desire
My Love, tonight, dream of my fire
Burning, e’er burning for more of you
So good-night, sleep well this whole night through

Together…Beyond Words
I’ve been so restless for you
With sensations that sop up all my words
Leaving me speechless
While legions within
Long for expression:
Feelings, desires, longings, cravings
Clamber to be known
reaching for you
I can only hope
The strength of emotion
Spans the chasm of space & time
Of silence & absence
Fills all that is lacking
with Enough
I can only hope that somehow you
Sense & Know
I Love You
Let’s not be lonely apart
But rather together…
In secret moments beyond...

Let’s not be lonely apart

Another Trail
If I could
I’d surprise you with a journey
To trails of moss & fern
To evergreen woods
Places of my youth
Following babbling brooks to find
where trilliums hide
We’d mend our hearts beside
Blooms of bleeding hearts
Pucker our lips on lucky sourgrass
As we’d pluck & nibble their yellow buds
It wouldn’t matter
On which side the moss grows
Or what we discover over the hill
As we reach for hands long loved
Long missed
We’d stay awhile
In the cooling mist
Of those fairy woods
Our own fairytale ...

Hold my hand
My hand remembers
With such a comforting warmth
How it felt to be enveloped
Your hand holding mine
I’d slip my smaller one
Against your palm
Fingers intertwining
As ivy growing together—
Meant to be
It felt more than words
Safe
Secure
Warm
Comforting
Surrounded by strength
Peaceful
It felt like a little blue wren
Snuggled up warm & safe
Against soft furs
Nestled
Nuzzled
Content
By a flickering fireplace
In a cozy cabin
As stars twinkle...

Again…
The intensity washes as waves
Bends me as gusts of wind
Propels me…
This time it’s (again)
Images of you I vainly crave
To see once more your face
To read the subtle stories of the years that passed
(as rings beneath the bark of a tree).
I thirst to drink the secrets of your eyes
To have you deign a glance towards me
I miss the motions of your lips
Wielding magic languages their own
In this darkness still
I seek your light
Yet only blackest echoes
Reverberate this night
Again

Wielding magic languages their own

I seek your light
Yet only blackest echoes

Fanciful Someday
I remember
Back when your aching heart
Broke my heart with that good-bye
You sought to reassure me:
“Someday you will be loved”
Well,
I tried…
Searched far & wide…
Yet still I cannot find
Any hopeful trace
of that Someday embrace…
Will YOU
Be my
Someday?
(I never stopped loving you)

Selfish
Just now
Tears welling up
At the thought
That it isn’t me
It’s selfish, I know
I want it to be
Only
Me
Tears welling up
At the thought
That it isn’t me
It’s selfish, I know
I want it to be
Only
Me

meet me in the In-Between
The missing escalated
Stole my sleep
Rearranged my sanity
Left me soaking in the ache
Lonely
I’m sorry
Because I think it did the same to you
Something about holidays maybe?
I could be all wrong
But the compass of my heart pulls strong
To you
I somehow feel it’s true
That the fire burned & scarred you too
I’m sorry
Can there be no in-between?
A place where the missing binds us
Resting in a happy peaceful scene
Without the shattering blows
Of impossibilities?
I’ll meet you there! ...

After the Eggs & Baskets are Claimed
As dusk descends upon their glen
Reclining near a fire cozy & bright
The Easter bunnies settle in
With tasty chocolates & sweets
And best of all, favorite tales to tell
of the children on their streets
Joyfully discovering the tokens of love
Scattered by the rabbit pair.

Complement
On a sweltering day
I’ll bring you
a cool refreshment…
Will you build me a warming fire
On a crisp cool eve?
We complement
Each other
You & I
when we’re together
