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

A Greying Twilight Vision
Grow old with me
Snuggling cozy by the sea
As the sunset of our life
Reflects the sunset of the skies
In vibrant living colors
Visual of the peace we find
In the vibrant tapestries
Of each others mind
Let the gentle sea breeze
Mimic that gentle touch
Of our fingers still caressing
Each others cares away
Sinking to the sweetest calm
Of love well-worn through decades
Finding our life’s sunset rest
In togetherness
We won’t be lonely there
Sitting cozy by the sea
Savoring the eventide ...
Snuggling cozy by the sea
As the sunset of our life
Reflects the sunset of the skies
In vibrant living colors
Visual of the peace we find
In the vibrant tapestries
Of each others mind
Let the gentle sea breeze
Mimic that gentle touch
Of our fingers still caressing
Each others cares away
Sinking to the sweetest calm
Of love well-worn through decades
Finding our life’s sunset rest
In togetherness
We won’t be lonely there
Sitting cozy by the sea
Savoring the eventide ...

Edge of Dreams
Dream fearlessly with me
Ride a moonbeam
Fall into unknown
As we fly together
I’m sure we’ll find soft landings
In each other's arms
So join me on the precipice
And dive into the clouds
Your hand in mine
Under the velvet skies
Tonight
As I’m thinking of you
With love
Ride a moonbeam
Fall into unknown
As we fly together
I’m sure we’ll find soft landings
In each other's arms
So join me on the precipice
And dive into the clouds
Your hand in mine
Under the velvet skies
Tonight
As I’m thinking of you
With love

Though long lost
yet forever held
Written on my heart
Etched upon my skin
Memory canyons ever in my mind
Though long lost
Always close
My Love
Written on my heart
Etched upon my skin
Memory canyons ever in my mind
Though long lost
Always close
My Love

To feel you

Touchable
Please, My Dream, do not forever stay
Only an ephemeral star
Whose ancient light filters through
light years of space dust, otherworlds and history
Only a sad reminder
of heavenly bodies once intertwined
In the distant past
Let your desire
Materialize to more
than a mere beacon in my soul
Feathering my desire
Into a fire
I need to touch your palpitations
I need to read the stories of your years
In the freckles of your skin
Be the reality of today
I need more than memories
I need you, the man, grubby...

Collision Course
The ache is deep tonight
An aura of missing
Absorbs all chance of sleep
Carrying my mind through the clouds
Into a space eluding time & space
Ignoring facts and reasons
A place of dynamite hearts
Like super novas
Where you and I collide
Into a piece of art
An orchestra of harmonies
I cannot sleep
When this desire for you
Blazes with exploding stars
Shattering our worlds
It’s just that Somehow
I KNOW
you’re in these fireworks of beauty
And I’m just missing
Everything about you ...

Blazes with exploding stars
Shattering our worlds

In your world
The grass is not greener
where the world is paved,
nor is the sky’s sheen bluer
But as you exhale
The clouds waft away,
and the sun shines bolder
By your side
So every place your world exists
Whether cities or islands
Or wilderness
May I hold your hand
And beside you stand?
That’s the only air I wish to breathe
where the world is paved,
nor is the sky’s sheen bluer
But as you exhale
The clouds waft away,
and the sun shines bolder
By your side
So every place your world exists
Whether cities or islands
Or wilderness
May I hold your hand
And beside you stand?
That’s the only air I wish to breathe

In another time and place
Neath glowing moons
Star studded depths
And aurora skies
Through meadows green
Toward ocean’s crest I rise
Light footed, dancing free to find
Your tall form behind
With reaching hands to guide
My heart home
Star studded depths
And aurora skies
Through meadows green
Toward ocean’s crest I rise
Light footed, dancing free to find
Your tall form behind
With reaching hands to guide
My heart home
