You ask for wisdom, I deny
the page
upon which you would have me
demonstrate
the warmth that is antithesis
of rage,
and secrets that lie cold
upon my plate.
Desire is not what love has
promised us,
no simple education of the living.
Hard rain rolls down my back
and shades my lust,
cool respite that counters
what you’re giving!
There’s no question of our
hearts intention,
the light of what we know and
who we are;
pity is the cousin of
invention
and sorrow but the shadow of
a scar.
My passion is all yours for
the taking;
my silence, the sound of one
heart breaking.

The present was forgotten as
we spoke
about our lives and what we’d
done with time;
incredibly the years that
silence broke
coincided like rhythm in this
rhyme.
Each struggle matched by
struggle of a kind
blended with our misery of
each turn;
compelled by reasons of a
common mind.
We both knew, but somehow did
not discern
the bond that separation
cannot sever,
the chasm that no substitute
can fill,
tenderness that kindness
cannot ever
restore in us the things that
such love will.
Beware of moments past that
will not fade;
sun’s light does not wither because
of shade.

Winter is the sweetest of the
seasons
despite that some may shiver with
the ice
and linger in the longing for
reasons
that might explain the need
for sacrifice.
Each morning brings us
promises of spring
without accommodation for
despair,
I picture secret moments as I
sing
of summer wind that’s
captured in your hair.
Fading shimmer is autumn’s
gifted tone
as harmony restores me in its
wake,
the beauty lost, I now must
mourn alone
with shining remnants left
for you to take.
Winter dances in cold symmetry
with all that is within you
that’s in me.
