all I can hope for
is for someone to see truth
stripped...silent...open

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

sometimes events are out of our control
they move forward with a life of their own
while we are the unaware participants, catalysts

breath
learn
love
live

heal me with your skin
warm smooth life under my tongue
pain leaves with a breath

tired past all words
I surrender to the sound
deep in indigo

with eyes wide open
hush the words, stop the chatter
listen inside-out

with eyes clear as glass
you held your doors wide open
I found myself home

words rise with our breath
warm thought swirls, trails through the night
constellations form

looking up at you
I fall through the open doors
so easily lost

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

there is no telling when this will happen
without warning and no place to hide
sliced open...exposed...released
finally to become weightless
climbing the velvet night
a clear searing flame
soars deeply over
endless waves
vulnerable
powerful
crashing
falling
rising
you
.................................................................

I explore through words. Who I am, what I am learning..experiencing.
This is only my view, and all it ever can be. A small slice at best.
It is not easy to be so exposed, but...necessary.

no words for the joy
no place I would rather be
right here...right now...breathe

taking  a deep breath
I feel life against my skin
just stop and live it

we are connected
I am there in your deep pain
my friend, my brother
.
.
.
I love you

lost in the moment
sinuous exploration
boundaries vanish
.
.
.
between desires
one ends the other begins
seamless perfection

stretching my limits
words are out of reach tonight
hold me, keep me in

shining from dark eyes
above that gentle smile
clear light of your soul

unnerving to see
so much, so clearly, so fast
standing on the edge

galaxies spin, as
night unravels around me
eyes wide, doors open

this twilight tonight
drawn out scream of light leaving
painful in beauty

.....................................................
tried again
hard feeling to put in words
so large

yes, it's time to go
just before the tidal wave
voices find their edge
:
:
:
with a slow smile
I leave the words where they fall
...

with soft whispered words
brush the night over my eyes
deep indigo dreams

wrap around me now
feel the moon fill deep the night
straight into morning

we are always here
right now, the moment stretches
to make a lifetime
.
.
.
beauty in a glance
of light reflected on skin
a slow perfection

...............................................
the words are always
there even if I don't see them
even if I don't hear them

I can't help but feel them
