"Quiet Content"
Dearest Love
Whom I no not yet,
I pledge my trust
With no regret,
And watch the skies
For angels sent,
To seal me in
This quiet content,
Dearest Love
Of whom I've dreamed,
Reveal yourself
For what you seem,
And though your flesh
Is sweet divine,
In truth I lust
Thy knowing mind...

My Soulmate
your soul crossed my soul today
i felt you as if you were here
yet i know i am alone on this earth without you
we both chose this...
even though you are not with me i can feel your heart beat
within mine..
we maynot be together this lifetime..
but i know you are there...
waiting, waiting for the next lifetime together..
we have been and together we will always be..
one soul for all eternity...
Lost Love
she walked along the path..
her thoughts brought her back to that morning..
tears fell as she rememebered his touch, his kiss
time stood still that day..
as they held each other they never wanted to let go..
she stopped to pick some daisies on the way
he loved daisies..
she stood at the station the day he left..
his face etched upon her soul.
she waited til his train was out of sight
wishing he hadnt gone..
her wave frozen in time...
a tear fell upon her flowers as she stood there
leaning down she told him ill love you forever.
as she touched her wedding band..
she turned to walk away...
never noticing the man..
his wav frozen in time..

And The Angels Played
the Angels played
amongst the
clouds
that summer day
we met
and Laughed
as they looked down
at loves
underlieing
current

Long Point Light House
Long Point's apparitional
this warm spring morning,
the strand a blur of sandy light,
and the square white
of the lighthouse--separated from us
by the bay's ultramarine
as if it were nowhere
we could ever go--gleams
like a tower's ghost, hazing
into the rinsed blue of March,
our last outpost in the huge
indetermination of sea.
It seems cheerful enough,
in the strengthening sunlight,
fixed point accompanying our walk
along the shore. Sometimes I think
it's the where-we-will-be,
only not yet, like some visible outcropping
of the afterlife. In the dark
its deeper invitations emerge:
green witness at night's end,
flickering margin of horizon,
marker of safety and limit.
But limitless, the way it calls us,
and where it seems to want us
to come. And so I invite it
into the poem, to speak,
and the lighthouse says:
Here is the world you asked for,
gorgeous and opportune,
here is nine o'clock, harbor-wide,
and a glinting code: promise and warning.
The morning's the size of heaven.
What will you do with it?
