Late now
Too late,
In a world
Where time, it knew not your name
The air kept forgetting you
And brothers, in the dark
And surprised by your presence,
Became embarrassed

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
Wanted: A Haiku
For me, sell pencils
For me, protect our small space
For me, be present
Estopped
We thought ourselves so slick
In possession
Of some golden grasp
Reserved
We'd dig and dig
And defy getting dirty
Except our hands
Covered
Nobody knew
Or none would tell
Then one day
Busted
data point
With my eyes closed
I beheld you
Held you in my arms
And named
Each heartbeat
You didn't know
The length of my pain
Today, sleep well, I say
For tomorrow, no sleep
'til Sunrise
As New
This is a gentle rain, I promise
And it will not drown,
But renew you
Your ghosts
Your clouds
Will linger for their time,
Then be washed away
Oxbow Bend
I don't want to miss a song, love
The harmony of us, the range
The highs and lows
And when there be storms
The chase
Mad River
All these people in over their heads
gladly
treading water, still.
Prettying up their
space
in ways thought not possible.
May we have peace, perfect peace
despite
the taunts of the cats in the box.
Black Diamond II
The death-grip surrounding
Some bouquet
The white-lace lies getting
In the way
I watch such nonsense fleeing
From my day
Jack
Should the sunrise be at your back
Today, or for a spell
Won't you carry on?
Let those on the shoreline
Seeing their truth for the first time
Have their realizations
Know
If you're facing darkest unknowns
Light can only follow you
