Sometimes, I lose myself
In you,
I forget the intricacies
Of my own soul, and I
Become a solitary
Pilgrim searching
Your veins
For my purpose.

We have the Night Shadows all around us
We have the night Shadows all around us
Stir not by me today
Let them come and sleep beside me
Like water sleeps in the rain
Close not your hand against what is frozen
For it will also one day become yours
But wrap your light so carefully around it
Like you wrap yourself around me
Do not think you can solve the knots in the wild weeds
But let your riddles be solved in me
Let us grow together wildly
Like streams grow wild in the sea
Clothe dark woods in the secrets you keep
But let your snow be draped around me
You can leave your feet bare against the stones and the mud
As you can leave your heart bare in my keep
In your aftermath…
Yesterday’s Last Kiss
Revival
Awakening
Pulling your distance into my nearness
I love you
I love you
Among all things
Gone wrong
I love you
In the silent departures
In longing
And belonging
I love you
In the falling leaves
And under maple trees
I love you
In the footsteps left behind
And the ones not yet made
I love you
Walk with me
My love,
Let us walk
Together
Further and further
Into life
Deeper and deeper
Into love
Love is…
Love is the blossom
that grows not apart
that winks like a shadow
on the sun’s burning heart
Love is the softness
that tames yet remains wild
breaking or mending
yet is innocent like a child
It holds not a difference
it tears not apart
it gathers all passings
in seams of tender scars
Love is the asking
that needs no reply
bruising and healing
stays or walks by
Love is the chamber
that holds no regrets
it keeps and releases
it rises and sets
Love is the gift
you cannot return
it is not destined
for ashes
with immortality
it blazes and burns
