The Now of I Love You

by R. Ellis


Blue falls on the river
tonight falling and recoiling
in a splashing wave of stars
like frozen rain.

I miss the most of you that
I know which is a little piece
of something small but powerful
No burning flames no one the
sames just the now of I love you.

How Much Is It Worth

By R. Ellis


How Much Is It Worth 
not counting money 

If I think I can talk 
like a friend to you 
and cry, laugh, or smile 
for us and you 

but then it's only me 
trying hard in this way 
to say
something

to listen to you 
as if I knew 
you could really love me.

The Dead Man's Bells

"We are here"
He shouted from crisp lips
A deep articulated freshness
climbed the glossy sky
future timed 
night broken

A friendly brawl with
the valley whore woke the
man's white throat

"You have brought me the world"

Beyond the leaves and trees
the air appeared to understand
A mocking bird from nearby spoke
and the dead man's bells echoed 
in silent laughter.

Our Mandarin Universe

The edges of an eclipsed
sun give birth in broken 
shocks of light 
to day love and life

We lift ourselves
to yawning 
blades of grass near
an ocherous tree 
raised by the mountains
beside us

Into an infinity 
of yes as our
wings fall away 
in the ultimate flight 
immersed in the 
syrup of our
mandarin universe
