Keep your colors true, and close
my words to you…

“You see me…. So well…

I feel changed inside

It’s the way you have with words
sometimes…

have we ever met… before?”


and I can still hear your voice…
the lilting inviting softness of a breathless caress
   waiting
“I want to see you… will you come?”



Of all the moments in once life,
one witch I regret the most…

each and every time, we were close… closer than this
and never spoke…


I know I shouldn’t have… but… your eyes

the unimaginable silence in your presence
a glimpse of everlasting intimacy…


how do you break apart
from such…

   a loving heart



as I see you shift, transparent
with grief and worry
needing a release, thunder



let
the rain…

see your face
be born again
