If only she...

If only she would come to me,

listen to my heart beat for her

touching me, touching her gently

I’m sure she would turn to me,

her eyes aside in modesty

letting me kiss her, rose red cheek

my hand had first brushed softly.

If only she would open her arms,

move to embrace me bodily

embracing her, softly with charm

I’m sure she would tenderly

reveal eyes to me, as one soul

we move together, lip to lip

my body and hers would fold.

If only she would meet half way,

in her charming embrace mould

me to her, so I may to her say

what needs to be said and hold

her in return, melded in unity

love each other, eye to eye

enter that realm that is eternity.

An Invisible Horizon

Your hair hangs freely
there to touch, I want
to feel you feeling me,
so as to be with you
together, as one
united in time, touching
your touch I touch me,
to look into your eyes
looking at me as I am,
my soul before yours
naked and exposed,
to smell your sweetness
savouring mine, bodies…


In a gentle dance, coming
and going as they please,
a rondel to an inner music
beyond comprehension,
on an invisible horizon
set in the imagination,
gently kissing softness
your cheek softens words
whispered, reflecting
a soft murmur to each other
je t’aime, Ich Liebe dich,
like a love transported
another land awaits;
I love you…

as you dance before me.

In the shadow of night
you roll over me, mistily
raising an open palm
to every word of love.
I fall away bodily, hurt
questions are answered
in this dance of love
that we engage in.


I pick myself up, dusted
again I’m drawn to you,
the kindness that speaks
your hair held back, eyes
talk to me of darkness
begin again this dance,
I love you, man doesn’t
say such things to woman.


I hide amidst the faces
crowded in their silence,
seeing you there I want
to touch your soft cheek
and cook rice for you,
tacos for the children;
I step back, in solitude
your raised hand weeps.


My heart opens, rings
to the sound of names,
I echo yours, so sweet
you know longer care
I cry salt tears, words
light my smile with joy
and you spin, eyes sparkle
as you dance before me.

Your sweet arms.

Warm threads of light

call me ever closer,

bathed in golden rays

the birds’ song proclaims

a coming time of hope,

springing forever on

towards the light of love

deep within my soul,

lost somewhere beyond

my heart all quiet,

I see you there

before me, beckoning

me with your sweet arms.

The Fallen Leaves of Summer.

The sun

falls behind trees,

poking in and out

as the train glides forth

on its way to nowhere,

A warm breeze

rustles my skin,

green with leaves

my heart, stops

the tracks pumping.

At ease

nothing disturbs me,

while I seek

nothing comforts me,

my roots are set.

A goat

climbs and poses

above me, wind

cascades, over my face

a rocky outcrop.

I think

she is out of reach

for today, I sit

quietly, my mind slows

rushing thoughts subside,

as

the sun

falls behind trees,

showing its golden face,

tracks click and clack

over nothing, silence.

My heart

wants to bleed green,

for the fallen leaves

dropped in the heat

of the coming summer.

Take my heart, my love.

My heart
is torn between longing,
a soft touch, a glance:
Where are you my love?


I feel
as though I’ve been cast,
the four winds, the stars:
Are you here my love?


Drifting
on the cobalt blue sea,
the red blood, desire:
Will you come my love?


Lonely
the search I continue,
never knowing, looking:
Are you her my love?


A child
dries a tear on my cheek,
saltry desire, fluid:
Take my heart, my love.

The Path Ahead

Even though the path ahead is lit
by the scattered stars, I am blinded
forever to search, without knowing
whether I am lost or found, Lord
please fill me with your light, so that
the veil of darkness may be lifted,
and I may see clearly the way ahead
following the path of angels,
                                   loving to the end.

I listen.

Eyes dancing,

lips talking,

a face so full

tells me of your day,

I listen,

following each move

that your face makes.

Your hands waving,

I want to take you

In my arms,

kiss you in a silence

that speaks a thousand words.

I ask you

for a coffee,

nervosity

tells me of tomorrow,

I listen,

following each move

a number you give

me, face beaming

stilled by your stillness

In my arms,

kiss you in a silence

that speaks a thousand words.

You have gone

to your home,

look at the city

lights and the skyline,

I listen,

following your soul

to a silent movie,

I see you as I

wait for my train,

In my arms,

kiss you in a silence

that speaks a thousand words.

Let me whisper

She sits flicking
through the pages
for someone to call,
a connection by chance
may answer.


She stares ahead
wired for silence,
freckled shoulders
lead to slender fingers,
listening and watching
for a name.


She sits so still
in the underground
for her train to come,
each picture pauses
a gentle breeze.


Look at me, tonight
forget your mirror,
please let me whisper
how perfect your hair
is, clipped and tied back.

Drifting words

Waves of words

drift across the room

as we sit quietly

listening for clues

amidst the shuffling feet

leading up the passage.

Biting her lip.

Black eyes through darkened brows

look at reddened cheeks, lighten

your smile talking sweetly, glowingly

in undulating tones, your mother listens

as you bite your lip, more beauty

can not be known, I have eyes to see

the sweet aroma of your perfume

touches, tasting the saltiness of your skin.

Love, when will you come?

Love,

when will you come

and hold me in your arms?

When love has filled your heart

and the world has left you empty.

Empty?

Why wait till then

to take and kiss me sweetly?

When you mind has emptied

your heart will be full of love for me.

Love,

when will the strings,

of the past be loosened?

Heart strings like gossamer

will dissolve when you choose to live.

Live,

with this torment

tempted without you love to show?

My love is there for you

already in your heart, take me.

See,

All I see is light;

why keep me waiting in the night?

The night is long, so too the day

In one brief moment I am with you.

Love,

come to me now

while my longing for you desires.

I have already come to you

always there in your heart, kiss me
