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

run run run with me
off the map and don't look back
miles above the ground

..................................................
for no reason other than
wanting to escape
into this long
twilight

that twilight colour
my feet need to leave the ground
horizon in flames

alright,
the wind has changed
the light grows long
I cannot stop what it does to me...
Love it/crave it/dread it
.....................................................
standing in one place
years in front and behind me
running standing still


stop, listen, and tell
me...do the years define you?
no, I am here now


can you feel that wind?
from the day leaving the sky
minutes pass to years


I will not stand still
don't look for me behind you
stretching into space



slide across my skin
slow trails of heat to follow
deep hot explosions

............................................
lots of reflection tonight
unexpected open doors
that I glance into as I go by
and I won't even talk about that last one
except to say, it could be
a whole separate blog
so much more there...

trying and trying
to understand where I am
why do I know you?
.
.
.
5:30 am
yes, it has been a long night
lives left uncovered
.
.
.
the night is quiet
beyond the expectations
dreams mix with the stars
.
.
.......................................

so much more to say

but so very tired
and does it really matter?
I will listen and wonder

and only answer 

my own questions

breathing the mountains
I am calmed to a simmer
cool wash of silence
