In a different lifetime, a wild storybook
Or a dragon's imagination
We knew love

Our footsteps, in perfect unison
Sword of some sort in hand
Caused commotion

I slept easily, you breathed free
Foreheads upward aimed
This liberated others

This is to say nothing, to reveal no secrets
Of our electric touch
Dragons won't tell

Into One

Leave me
Bad timing
Filterless funnymen
Ghosts of the most awful prose

Wash me
Rhythm of mine
Gleeful girl-woman
Eyes on the here and the now

Find me
In universe perfect metre
Simple-hearted simpleman
Helpless and helpmeet alike

Though you know your words won’t change the truth
You’ll utter them, won’t you

When bitter honesty, rained down with lightning’s splendor 
Ought leave you speechless

Why the hope-filled hollow, a fathom deep and wide
Which dwarfs you -why the denial

When with empty hands and learned heart, you realize
Your faith was fated after all 

His Holy Truth

Things are not what we thought
And in the morning, we wake and learn
Nothing is as we were told 
Either
This was all spin
Swinging, as a tired disco ball
Except
There is that standing truth
Upright and all
Vertically oriented
Waving at us in this bad wind:
Let go
Let go
At the same time, love it all

Does it seem sensual?
What else could cause you 
To cast off your clothes,
To peel away as if parched 
The years of you and me
Of we? On your way
To some other’s carefree closet? 
Nevertheless, there’ll not be a Day
In which I won’t want
This old coat to cling ever so tight.
