Letters to Isabel

My dear Isabel,

The days have become shorter, the chill bites the air and as I'm walking back through the apple trees, I think of that time the curve of your hip leaned against the cinnamon bark and with your book held so close, I felt a pang of envy.

---------

Dearest Isabel,

In a few days I leave Bermuda
and meet you in the heart of
the garden, where I am happiest
loving you among the daisies
and the roses in your hair

The air is dull until I kiss those
sweet lips beneath star by star
in the sapphire sky

----------

Dearest Isabel,

I'm sitting between tables,
staring at the hours split apart
the shadow-wrinkled light,

I don't care for the mysteries
on these walls, or the cold
meal on my plate, or the visitors
that have come and gone

I miss you beyond anything

----------

Dear Isabel,

This warm orange breeze caught my attention and changed my thought, to remember the most wonderful day where I was sitting in the shade of the creek tree and your heart trailed along on water, sparkled like a star had fallen—I was in love

----------

Dearest Isabel,

Everything pulsing outside this window reminds me of you. When I hear the wind whispering along shutters and verandas, the cloths on cafe tables, I think of autumn through your hair, envision your glistening pearl skin below the moon.

----------

My dear Isabel, 

I find your shadow along
the mist and dust,
anywhere I pause

I think of you between doorways,
windows, damp with rain
and when I lean beside this bridge,
I feel my heart plunging,
my soul is a wave
you catch with your arms

----------

I am mad with love
for a girl named Isabel...
my first, my last... breath

----------

Flor do meu coração,

I will leave nothing unsaid, 
for even half a portion of your love, 
I will do battle—
I will be triumphant
as long as I feel you in my veins
and know that the glory of your
heartbeat will lead me home to you

Yours, always

Jose

Mind


Mind

mind took a deep breath
and pierced with light and softness,
it found peace and divine communication
between the earth and sky
then mind bloomed spring into summer,
weaved autumn into winter

mind found reason and meaning,
and it flowed like paradise water
and it cried silently and smiled
without words, just feeling
—
Mind lived in colours
slipping into rivers and
the spaces between our pulse,
it curved over ice-splashed pavements,
the sides of iron gates and rested 
under the maple, the oak and pine
to understand the song of contentment

Mind was always meant to be as splendid
as a clear sky, as pure as a newborn— 
it was always meant to stitch the world 
between us through an ordinary ray of sunlight
maybe even a drop of rain

if mind had its way,
its journey would never end,
it would smooth the wrinkle, soften the storm
it would absent the pain and the scar...
would live an eternity in love
and God would smile down on mind

My sister

A few feet away,
daisies and sunflowers bloom— 
Maria's smile drifts 


                                        I see her walking
                                        through woodwinds and blades of grass— 
                                        down to the seashore 


Time stands ever still
in the sunshine of her life— 
I miss Maria

the seashell

the wind spins my waters
it whirls and splits my waves
until I am the shell of a story
between the shore and the tide

hold me to your ear,
and I will quiver to your touch,
sing the sorrow of the sea,
sandcastles and the sky

say that sometimes 
you still see the beautiful 
innocence of everything
in the distance

What more remains

The slow rising sun just behind the row of pines.
The quiet bending branch reaching over an ice-frosted bridge.
An early morning walk down by the snow covered creek with 
your lover's arm protectively hooked around your waist
and it begins to snow once again.

Simple things worth your attention;
like soul-stirring books 
pastels in early Spring
rust and moss-green train tracks
her blushing skin after you kiss her
the feeling of butterfly wings in your belly
& the scent of wildflowers in her hair

"Tell me more. What still remains?"

You whispering. "There is nothing more beautiful 
than the way your cheeks blush when you catch me staring at you."

Falling in love with honest conversations.
Forgiving broken promises and the sunsets 
you never shared but meant to.
Following the beautiful things, like 
her footsteps in the sand that leads you 
to the softest touch of incoming frothy waves.

Old moonlit attics filled with poetry books 
and long ago laughter in the grains of sand 
spilling from broken hourglasses

Road trips without direction
Abandoned old farmhouse, 
still holding on to the seasons
The song of the perched bird
on a rusted clothes line, 
a crawling vine in the barley field

"And still..."

Pebbles and seashells beneath the frost.
The slow chill turning the windmill.
The perfume lingering on the evergreen branch.
The winter and love songs in us.
The wild, the vines, the waves, the fire, 
the dawn and the passion in us.

The flesh yearning to be touched. 
The irresistible impulse to surrender. 
The tangled reflection of two souls.

unblemished hearts in the universe
The prisms of light by the roadside,
a lantern's glow on the porch
A small weathered compass, 
the pursuit of happiness,
and other small difficulties in our paths 

"Tell me again tomorrow, what more remains".

little things i love

The little things I love

winter shadows
over weathered stones,
snowberries falling like stars,
the dragonfly, the honeycomb and
the wild campfire swirl in the air

strands of time,
warm on our naked skin,
and between sips of tea,
words that matter

quiet waves after sunset,
the touch of you at sunrise,
your fingers between my fingers,
the dreams in your eyes
that become dreams in mine

and poetry —
poetry you read by my side

In short, I've


I've loved half-faded flowers
on the better side of the road
and left my smile surrendered 
in the heart of an untouched daisy

I've stared at the honey-moon
felt liquid stars drip their dreams
into the pupil of my eyes
and melted like lemon drops of sunlight

I've known love to burn inside the glow of
my wild fire and slowly drown deeper
into the marrow of my bones,
I've known time that moved 
in slow motion for you and I

in love

first, I was in love
with light—
seducing all it could touch,
it was simpler then anything else

I was in love
with pages—
by an open window in autumn,
any season 

then, I was in love
with you—
flesh that touched me,
soul that drifted in me deeper

Mulberry kisses

Mulberry kisses,
spring-warm willow tree shadows... 
a quivering bloom
