Sometimes I lose myself in you

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.

Your Greatness did not Come from Your Achievements

Your greatness did not come
From your achievements, but
From that obscure depth
I reached and reached into,
But never seemed to be able
To measure.

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

Your sadness…

In your aftermath…

You are the river
Running thought me
Comforting, unabashed today…
But tomorrow…
Flooding me with your
Boastful aggression.
Still, the battered banks
Of my youth
Continue to hold you,
Growing Wildly lush
In your aftermath.

My solitude crossed your silence

My solitude crossed
Your silence
And suddenly,
The wind changed course,
Whirling
Outbound ships
Back to shore.

In the Depth of You

I drowned myself
In the depth of you
And resurrected
As a constellation of Light.

In your labyrinth
Of added lives
I became lost
In your trackless breath,
I rose and fell,
Rose and fell.
Until I merged
Carrying your soul
Upon my back.

My Silence broke

My silence broke
Against your voice
And shattered
Into a mosaic
Of uncarved thoughts

Yesterday’s Last Kiss

Could I lie once more
in the breathing brooks
of twilight dim
and fill my heart
with each haunted place
I saw upon your lips
I would walk again
through winds of dreams
as though I was a ship
a’blow, adrift
to the shore
of yesterday’s last kiss

Revival

You held your breath for so long
eventually, I had to draw your essence
out of you, and a relieved sigh
escaped from your cold blue lips
