I sit here

still

and am satisfied by the thought of you

and how it washes over me

warmly

and slowly.

open your mouth and love me

taste the salt we make between us

i feel the curl your hair on my lips

and i long to linger

there

once again you happen to glance my way and catch me

gazing at you

by now you know that my dreamy-eyed look is not me seeing a made up you

no

its me marveling at the fact that you are the same

dreaming and waking

and how blessed i am to know you

my breath breathes warm for spring

so i do peek under crusts of snow to rich dark earth

awaiting fragrant connections

to sow

I see you and am a wet-palmed boy

suddenly struck silent and awed

dabbing my palms before we dance.

here i behold serendipity

written in words shared before they are known

we are not strangers no

the stars say as much

written in their glittering runes are our words

both spoken and yet undreamed

so close to you that my soul rises

filling me with nervous dreams

standing there in the crisp night

wondering if you would see through the offer of a warming arm around you as my inmost yearning to touch

offerring my fingers if not my lips and letting them dance across your palm tracing the...

To the tune of Simple Gifts & Lord of the Dance

In the passing of the day, and the death of the sun, I plant a seed in the rhythm of the drum. And I have you all in a circle you see, To spark your sprit through the dance with me.

[Chorus] Dance! Drum! wherever you may be! Feed your heart thr...

life is a poem

danced

yelled and scrawled across the sky

all life together lives, and all are connectedbeyond the self, we share a soul

in that oneness, we know bliss

in that bliss, we look upon the mirror of the heavens, and we open to the truth

within us all, is the face of the divine, and the soul of creation.

reflected in your eyes streetlamps are stars

they move my heart and urge me to hold you

closer

longing to smell the vanilla of your skin dreaming your perfume

searching through my clothes and sheets for traces of you

now long gone

i look out onto an empty room and i feel the echo of my aloneness

i tire of filling the space with disembodied words from recordings or radio

as the winter sets in i pull back like sap deep into a tree

wanting to be missed

i hope another will come bearing the warmth of a thaw

i miss her

she has been so soft and full recently

waiting

in the cold crisp sky

a silent sky fills my ears in the glow of my watery stara silent sky feeds my soul warm and full and safe

like oatmeal on a winter morning
