Bruised Ego

Who cares?
Whom fares this sea?


See, hear the tongues lashing.
Forces clashing in every mind:
love blind

Begging For Silence From a Busy World

The ring of the phone
Rip sound of an envelope 
Leave me in my world

My Anna Love

I treasure
every meeting of our lips.
Our dreams:
as two dew drops
melding in eternal kiss.
A lake of pure desire,
with the depth
of eternity.
This life stretches before us
shore,
to unending shore.
every grain of sand,
the first: 
"I love you" 
of countless lovers.
And the whisper of the breeze
"Thee...thou... and us".

The butterfly fluttering past,
with clumsy grace:
like our love,
the wings allowing us to soar.
This is the show
created by all lovers.

The caw of a lonely bird reminds:
that not all are found.
Tears slip down
our cheeks
as we remember the pain of before.
Here and now,
we live in triumph
because He made us.

I ask you to marry me and the question is all of these:
Will you be mine, my Anna? 
Will you be you?
All you are and do is such a gift.

And the statement of these:
When you make me dinner
you feed more than just my body,
and fill more than my belly. 
When you say: "I love you"
it not only reverberates in my ear drums.
When you walk beside me
holding my hand I hear,
I feel, 
I know.
When you smile
my quivering heart strings
play rejoicing symphonies 
When you are you:
me? 
I am me.







For my Anna...

Autumn

Cracks in the pavement
Leaves litter naked brown earth
It all returns down

Are You Good

I ask: Is it true?
You whisper: answer with you
A lamp within guides

Dimly

A mirror grimy
Dust, insect, fears, tears: my past
Reflect his image.

A Prison

A prison of fear
Walls pretty, safe and glass clear
Still a prison here

Perfectly You

You say you aren't perfect,
but look again and behold yourself; perfectly you.
Your tears be heavy-laden with guilt;
also remember, they glisten with remorse.
The sea water of the eye cleanses wounds old
and leads life to the good vulnerability
that teaches humility and belief.

Singing; your voice awakens the dawn
and dancing you set the moon.
Entrancing, you smile
and for a moment I glimpse forever.
Joy's child is your way
and grace is in your name.

Awake in the watches of the night
He watches your panic weeping;
wanting your day to soar 
and set twilight leaping.
Stars twinkle in sympathy,
and meteors lead sight to the other.
Come away with me my love and wink at suns.

Icy Stream

Under ice, flowing
Stream of living water runs
All life does not freeze

Spoil of the Earth

Rich, dark clods of soil
I drink deeply of their spoil
Boiling it all down
