to go...

softly
walking between words
to feel the quiet of truth
I hear your heart sing

train of thought...

all
how many am I?
refusing to become less
glimpses and facets

parts of a...

whole
eyes open slowly
I emerge from dark places
light pours from my skin

.....................................

overwhelmed sometimes lately
it comes in cold towering waves
though I know myself too well
to sink beneath them

I feel fiercely

touch...

why?
awoke, with worry
heart pounding, wide eyes staring
your name on my lips
...........................................
from a dead sleep, now wide awake
anxious, and...here
writing at 2 am
trying to send
my thoughts
to you

soft...

break
I can't explain it
the chains feel tight today
I can barely breathe
.............................

there isn't enough of me

nothing more...

I wrote this a couple of years ago for a friend
it is relevant again tonight

all I can do
raw pain of a friend
asking why with open eyes
helpless...I listen

no choice...

snapshot
tonight, words like stars
spread across my dark velvet
read between the shine
......................................
it is what is
sometimes the words
fall into softly into place
whether they work or not
but they all say something
parts of myself laid out
I'm still not really sure
why I put them here

this too, always

intrinsic
Trust. What can I say?
as natural as breathing
it is who I am

always...

after
the words then find me
through the black lens of the night
all I want to say

today...

safety
feeling cut adrift
I crash over deep green waves
your voice an anchor

always there...

connections
golden threads reaching
I touch souls clear in my eyes
with skin clear as glass

............................................

a huge concept to try and put into words
I will keep trying
until the words
fall together
seamless
endless
one

Something different...

These are from various times at the beginning of this journey.
Interesting to revisit them.

Time to start (Oct. 11 2008)

I am starting this blog to get some of my haiku written down, and out of my head. Clear up a little space up there.

Around a clear light,
dreaming in deep indigo
there you will find me
......................................
the wait
elusive and still
my words hide in quiet places
as I find my way

scattered impressions
a waiting time
while thoughts/words
mix and move
beneath the surface
I am not able to...
even now
so close, yet
out of reach
they dance
in and out of shadow
and brush against my face
......................................
edge
quietly I look
there, at the edge of myself
a universe waits
....................................
this is one of my favorites...

Rising
Trying to see,
I am still
yet
effervescent
Rising
to meet
you.
...............................
this one too...

skin
stepping into night
air like water on my skin
i talk to the stars

(and they answer)

as breathing...

natural
wherever I go
thoughts of you swirl around me
air against my skin

a past glimpse...

running late
rushing up to me
the sunlight clings to your eyes
I breathe in your smile

glimpse...

holding
I leave my body
waiting deeply in darkness
while we slowly spin

.................

now
over my shoulder
days pass from light to shadow
I am letting go

fused...

torn
to feel such extremes
deep love and imminent death
I am pulled apart

weld
pieces gathered
you simmer against my lips
opened like the sky

stills...

reason
vibrating with life
images leap from your eyes
barely contained chaos

enfold
with warm lips closed
your words slide over my skin
a voice like water

reaching a balance...

impending
the sky lies heavy
clouds resting in my skull
darkness in my heart

yet...
yes, let yourself fall
hold me close and lift the sky
your presence grounds me

needed...

music
removed from the world
fixed in a wall of sound
nothing left but me
