Innocence and Guilt

crumbs on the counter
  cookie jar lid askew
    innocent smile on your face
      but we both know the truth

Chrysalis

In my chrysalis
I dream

My secret shell
of silence

In clear night
the transformation

Trickles slowly on
yet surely

In morning glory
I emerge

Freed to spread
my wings

Light and Dark

ow!
              my shin!
         stupid coffee table
     hands outstretched
            inch by inch
       one step at a time
                careful
                       careful
      there's the wall
         azure paint
             meaningless in the dark
                   my fingers find the switch
          let there be light

A Lovely Clockwork

our hearts are in synch
spiritually beating
a physical rhyme

tempo increases
fluency arises from
movement so sublime

our quiet rhythm
a lovely clockwork
without space and time

Stricken

I feel
this affliction
blood flows
without end
through darkened
poison veins
long suffering
at last
hope nears
if only
to touch
that hem
just once
may I
live stricken
no more

Difference Engine

continuous figures
align in lines

along pathways and conduits
through time and space

I ask my questions in ones and zeroes
I tell my answers in yeses or noes

I know all
yet learn nothing

yours science alludes me
your puzzles complex me
this engine cannot compute
your differences

Say the Words

I need to hear you say the words
Silence simply will not do
Don't make me read your lips
Let me hear your voice
Spare not the sound
Of beauty
and of
love


I need to hear you say the words
Your beauty is before me
Yet, still, I crave your voice
A look and a thought
Is not enough
Let me hear
You say
It


I need to hear your say the words
I know your heart and your touch
Like fire under my skin
Yet nothing compares
To hearing you
Say the words
I love
you

Castles

As far the shore would let me stride
Gather sand for castle walls
Time enough for memories before tide
Brings slow flood upon us all

A Beautiful Illusion

in lightly drifting sleep
               I dream softly
                    again of
                       you
           
        visions of moments past
             a dancing mirage
                   my heart
                     yearns


  your divine hallucination awakens
          revealing nothing save
                  a beautiful
                     illusion

Remembrance

Broken flowers
Trampled by busy feet
They pay no heed
To beauty

The sky weeps
No rainbows for today
For no one looks at her
And dreams

Little child
Alone, forgotten
By those who have forgotten
Love

Remember beauty
She will bring your dreams
Where you will find love
In time
