Month: November 2015

I search for inspiration
in the ticking of the clock
the meter, the melody,
the vibration
DNA
giving rhythm to my heart

I chase strands of time
too fine to loom
as they tighten,
thin
string a new dimension
too deep, too far, too all
neurons
leaping lights
across the universe  

Your hand
once centered right in my palm
rises above, beyond
my dreams for you, my love for you
my life I gladly give for you

as you suspend
the natural pull of gravity
I inhale
the beating of your heart

It’s that dawn again
fingering the window blinds
loosening the darkness
from my eyes
I let go the dreamscapes
the fading strands

If life is
a near death experience
let me drink the light until I drown
race the blood in my veins
pound the earth with vibrato
dig, dig, dig to China
plumb somersaults all the way down

I’ll shelter in the rain shadows
the downpour’s glow
and hold you
like this
in my arms
