she waits in velvet skies
so blue that hearts break
at the sight of her crystal tears
falling entranced dizzy glimmer
on our knees digging the dirt
clawing our pain shh

darkness is my sister
together we shall weep
never alone as we fade
as we melt into the fury
as we dive into the deepest deep
to be cradled to be blackened to be still

we who have hidden
who have closed the doors
& held tight to our secret fires
tending them in stolen moments
in silence in never never places

the sky the bluest black reflection Home

honey kisses
in dreamers sighs
winters keep
of wish and warm

digging deep
finding roots
finding treasure
among the bones

huddled by fire
gaze travels worlds

sleep of hush
rebuild
recreate
rebirth

incubate

swept away
on a rush of emotion
thoughts spilling into forms
dancing the circle swirling bodies

hiding behind faces of stone

the rose so fragile in the moonlight
taken too quickly leaves her mark

blood warm wise living a tear descends
to the lips to taste the pain of truth


petals fall forgotten
love me
love me knot

love me
love me not forever

the wind scatters the words silenced

the night cradles the lonely

wrapped in tales of a thousand encounters

sleep only a doorway to vast landscapes

i travel softly i go on

Like a ghost at the window
a tap subtle stir within

a vision of hungry clouds
angry charging tempting sea

she rises raging
to swallow to consume

hands reach out for salvation

who can know in such moments

whether a door found is an exit

or a comforting illusion

a dream within dream

a divine choking joke

sometimes the lines are faded
