Italics Mine

I stand by my back-then words

The sight and the touch of a fiery hand

Brushed against the surface of my straight-from-only-God-knows-where intuition 

Reaching out, did you foresee -as you seem to be able- my fumblings and follies

I choke when I taste and gasp when I smell your handiwork against my handiwork

With incredulous eyes, stunned heart and still-shallow breath, again I say 

“Oh my God…oh my god….”

Faith, Love & Hope

Faith, that perseveres with truth – despite my uncertainty – I will honor you.

Love that speaks friendship – even into the wee hours of my consciousness – I will take your hand.

Hope, that pursues me in peace – though I slumber – I will cherish you.

A Talk Amongst Old Friends

Wow, how long have I known you?
Those sparkling, honest eyes and truthful smile.
Those strong legs and even stronger heart.
That chin born to parallel the ground.
That clear, kind voice.

Wow, how long have I abandoned you?
By being terrified of mistakes.
By sacrificing Peace for peace.
By averting eyes from passion.
By keeping you in longing.

I am so sorry! It is so good to see you!
