of mourning

do you mourn

the loss

what then

will you not look

at me the same

again

have i been misplaced

because of this space

in your head

taken up with sadness

or is it just in mine

why do I feel the looking

even when you dont want

whats found

Giant spoons dip into

my body

and take out all

leaving empty

and hollow

what I have known

ahh, sweet one time chances

forgotten and forgiven

but not unmourned

by anyone

feeling like the lighthouse in a storm

battered by the wind

yet still lit

to guide the ship home

my fuel is my love

and my light is only dimmed

by the low clouds surrounding

will it be found again

safe harbor, and mooring

or lost at sea

forever.

We

Were it not that I long to linger over your face

or feel your skin under my hands

I would not want for anything

what is it about you that

opens me

like a shell with such treasure inside

so that when I look on you

I tremble

my heart leaps and breaks

within your eyes

nothing has taught me this

It is just known

day and night come

not being asked

and here I sit

how do I hold myself

so as not to touch

feel or dream of you

there is not a place

that exists where

that is so

never do I think twice

about loving this way

it winds about me

and pulls you in

until there is no end

or beginning to what we are

it isnt even imaginable

that you and me

could not be we
