Where west winds
Whisper winter’s way
Windows washed in white
Weather witches wave
When warm wanes
Without warning
A chance encounter
Through a likely mistake
Eyes met and smiles exchanged
And it continued on
Through the years
Young and finding our way
Sharing goals
Sharing time
Sharing joy
Sharing pain
And a the breaking point
It ended
Separate ways
The time spent
Gone for the sake of love
None taken
None received
You took his name
And made your life
Paths diverged
And life
Unfound
So much time has passed
Different people
Now occupy
The flesh less bound
Lives diverging
Worlds separated
By a towering divide
So many years
And the coincidence the same
A chance encounter
This familiar name
Not seeking a reunion
But a task to fill
And there you are
No eyes to meet
But the smile
Hasn’t changed
And I wonder
Do you remember?
Do you think about those times?
What does it mean to you now?
The blue words invite
Contact to be made
They go unchecked
It will never be the same
Broken shells scatter
Telling the tale
Of past tides washing
Molding the Earth
Cold sand finds a place
Between toes
Clinging to moist skin
With a purple hue
As the stars escape
Behind a misty haze
Rising from the cold
Salty ocean
In the warm night air
Shapes appear in the distance
Silhouettes in the fog
Silently passing
Against the dark
Faceless waves
And for a moment
An imperfect world
Hides from this solitude
Dark
Lost
Forgotten
Silence
Rhythmically broken
Breaking waves
Claw at the shore
This night will not
Pass quietly
And in the distance
A subtle roar
Phoenix rises
And breathes life
To the world
Slowly lifting this
Corpse sheet cover
From the solitude
Found here
Pisces swims
Leaping a dance of freedom
As the twins hang
In a Libra’s balance
Awakening the dragon below
The bears slowly appear
As Orion draws his bow
Rising and setting his sights
On the bull by his side
And she descends to me
My angel of the night
Her face shinning
In the moonless glow
Of the white sands
And white capped waves
Stirred lively
By the breath of the Phoenix
She touches me
Hands that warm my flesh
She blesses me with her touch
The dragon rises
Away from the cold sand
Grasping at the fire
It can feel
And desires
Her golden eyes
Gleam in the starlight
A smile
Full of innocence
And mischief
Breathes bellows breaths
To this fire
Raging out of control
She invites my touch
My kiss
My favor
To hold her
A fantasy in reality
Feeling her breathe
Feeling her life
Flowing in my hands
A kiss
Sweet
I savor
A touch
Electric
Invigorates
I succumb
The huntress she becomes
While Perseus sets his gaze
And Draco
Rears high in anticipation
She tames the dragon
With a motion from her hand
And her quick tongue
Cooling
The fire and fury
Within
And from behind the mist
The majesty of the heavens
Shines bright
A billion heavenly lights
Appear at her command
The Milky Way
As the ancients saw it
Profession and prophecy
Knowledge and philosophy
Born from the stars
As this angel before me
And the dragon rests
Her will as it will be
Leo gives pass
And the crab dances
Back to the safety
Of his mother ocean
This night
My angel saves
This life
With loving delight
A life
Minuscule
Under the grandeur
Of the lights she commands
Through the mystery of night
To tame the dragon
And corral the ram
The gift she gives
In the cold
Terrestrial night
The power to seek
The power to have
This love
This light
A moment too brief
In wanting too much
Fleeting
Gasping
The aching eons demand
But I hear the stars sigh
As I bask in her breath
And the taste of her kiss
As we listen to the tide
Rolling
Rolling away
Stars in the black night fade
A backdrop of nothing
Invisible behind all that can be seen
Under this canopy of lights
Rain falls
Drops of water
Flow along the canals
Created by my furrowed brow
Cold
Flowing
Drowning
I’ve been here before
This warm night
Where the dampness
Captures the air
In a slow motion frame
Cigarette smoke
Hangs
Seeking a second chance
And I breathe
The scent
The street
The life
I’ve been here before
Nights
Long ago
The restlessness of youth
On the warm pavement
And the smell of the rain
Tasting the smoke
Choking on the anxious moment
The want
The flesh
The smell
I’ve been here before
The feeling sweeps over me
Causing the racing heart
To quicken the feet
Puddle-splashing
Steps so lively
As the memories come rushing in
Lost in a curve
Off of a tangent
Gone
The nights
The times
The moments
I’ve been here before
Seeking the one
Finding but none
Memories captured in a scent
That brings me back
And the smoke still hangs
Clouding the air
Passes in the night
Just like the time
The youth
The nights
The moments
I’ve been here before
And the moments
Always end the same

Glowing bright
Her dress of white
Now fades to patches of green
And the colors given
By his guiding light
The yellows and reds
Now rise from beneath
And change again in twilight
Purple and blue their sheath
And as the icy veins creep away
They retreat into the light of day
As her hills turn brown
Exposing their ground
For her hero
Her freeze gives way
Icy daggers
Turn to vapor
Rising in her cloudless skies
Only the light of his love
Now reflects in her eyes
She returns to her lover
A renewal of their passion
Eternally the mother
He made her to be
Filling salty oceans and seas
With the tears from their struggles
Between this gravity
And the cold
Empty space
That will forever
Temper their embrace
Somehow through it all
Eons of this struggle
These concentric circles remain
She will pull away
Then return to her lover
A love like no other
Again to be reclaimed
Of life and love
Deep inside
Her heart beats hot
The essence of her being
Far beneath the
Prairies and forests
And cold glacier stares
For she was created by he
To be as he longed to be
Nurturing and fair
Temper and flair
The never ending changes
With each passing day
While he remains her center
And guides her on her way
From the heavens shining lights
The many yet far between
Cold and loveless
Invisible in the night
Those that cannot be seen
Rocks tumble
Into collisions unheard
Dim and dusty surfaces
Barren and lightless worlds
Black holes spiral
Consuming all that draw too near
Collapsing under the pressure
Light
Gas
Stars
Into one mass they sear
Crushed into their essence
Pushing and pulling
Lifeless planets aimlessly adrift
In the silent void
Lacking the light of day
Once born by their sovereign one
But lucky is the living
Spun from the gravitational blessings
Of the life breathing sun
At the center of its world
The one that bears fruit
On a surface so harsh
In the oceans life thrives
And in the green lands above
Life
The living
Born only to give worship
With every passing turn
And born again
A life continues on
“Don’t be my martyr!”
She hears his voice strain
“Don’t turn away –
After all
It was only our gravity
That made you stay
It all boils down to chemistry
And electrons will never stray
So turn your smile back to me
Please let me light your way.”
