Lyrics & Love

You are poetry,

every lyric

more inscrutable,

yet more beautiful,

drawing me deeper

into a reverie

filled

with flowers

and lace.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

isn’t overlooking

transgressions;

it’s seeing them

in the their

fullest, most potent

essence,

and choosing

to reconcile anyway.

 

(Happy Palm Sunday!)

Lover’s Field

Every morning,

I push out

my love for you,

push it beyond my reach,

until I can no longer feel it.

Every night,

I see it standing in the field

and

hear it coming through the cracks,

closing in for another

suffocated sleep.
