I can hear you whispering to me
Over the folds of the wind
Sending heavenly dowry-
Of things that had been
lifetimes ago, when you and I
were still true
and the universe conspired
to see love through…
Alas, now we are but an echo,
that I can only hear
when the wind blows or in my dreams
Tag: lostlove
in the dark
The dark of my room
takes me back to you….
I cannot help but remember
your breath on my breast,
the feel of your touch on my leg,
the way you whispered nothing
in my ear so that my body
quivered instead…
but you, you’re lost,
and I am still hanging
onto these thoughts…of you-
in the dark of my room
to touch the stars
It’s still dark yet- not quite dawn
And I can hear the song birds
Getting ready for the sun
And I know that you, well, you’re gone
It’s okay…
you weren’t really all that real anyway
More of a tune I made up in my head
A longing that you filled
Inside my heart- a sweet desperation
To touch the stars
deep and venerable pain
There lies just beneath my smile
A deep and venerable pain
That I can’t explain, or wish away-
I try to escape, into ideas and words
that might distract my brain,
But it’s always there, waiting for me
Like an ache that won’t release,
A knot in my chest with no relief,
So I sit here and pretend that
It’s all okay
It’s just a deep and venerable pain.
a more tender energy
my task now is to let go
say goodbye, good day, farewell
and let the universe
try to fill the empty spaces
with light
this calling of my heart
to understand the part i played;
my doing : undoing mixed
together- this flow…
i let go
heaviness sits upon my soul;
striving to be free from the
confines that bound it
to you- the links
back to me
i release all those things
i thought to know;
trying to make sense of
that which draws deep pain
within my soul
and with love, and on my knees,
i plead to the universe
to take that which i lost
and replace it with
a more tender energy
