The wick of home, green 
Against dark rich urgency
Smaller, sharper, 
Each, every thread sings

ACHING LOVE 


Your love, 
Sharper than a double-edged 
Sword,
Cut my aching heart in two,
And now
Each part, twice is suffering   
For you!

I make up instead of retelling a story
If I can't recall truth; more often than not
I recreate and invent it
Pessimists call it lying
I don't give names...

Bigger than every stage
she commanded
Greater than the sum
of her parts
Braver than the men
who adored her
Sharper than the image

Sharp eyes
and sharper wings
with the speed and accuracy
perfection brings
when a falcon cuts the sky in half

My heart sings
