Sail Onward

Sail onward
white-winged ship
let me watch
as you
drift into Heaven
take my longing
with you
for it is already
a part of your crew

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

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

Pulling your distance into my nearness

If you are the sea
then I am the moon
pulling your distance
into my nearness

Our Love

Our Love is not restricted
by a lifetime
or the space between us
nor is it held
by a sudden flare
of a shifting constellation
no, our time together
will surpass eternity
and the darkness
will release its light
on a heaven bound trail
of stars
swimming towards
its own reflection

Nightlight

In the nightlight
Love undresses
layer by layer
until
it stands naked
holding nothing
but itself

Solitude

The moon
is sinking low
behind the pale horizon
and I am alone
haunted by a shadowy sea
of starlit memories
I take my solitude
by the hand
and together we walk
along a prayer-spangled beach
untroubled by the drifting years
of the night
