would catch me and turn this fall
into it's embrace
would catch me and turn this fall
into it's embrace

skeletal trees weep
world wrapped in cold bleak winter

soon to fall to earth
dance together in the sun
soon to fall to earth
seizures day to day,
the fear and sorrow endless,
the heart pleads for rest,
the fear and sorrow endless,
the heart pleads for rest,
open arms aching,
hugging her not possible,
sadness fills my heart.
hugging her not possible,
sadness fills my heart.
bundled love letters
from two long summers ago
pushed back on a shelf
from two long summers ago
pushed back on a shelf
perhaps we will kiss
again when the summer rains
nourish our passion
again when the summer rains
nourish our passion
The breath of winter
A reminder of a kiss
Ice and heat are one
A reminder of a kiss
Ice and heat are one
Where is softness found?
In a tube? A heart? A mind?
The key is the soul.
In a tube? A heart? A mind?
The key is the soul.

brushed mauve and golden hues

We stand together,
I and the mountain; in time,
Just the mountain stands.

her skull without skin she is
so easy to love.

drunk man stumbles home
beats his wife for the last time
she leaves while he sleeps
beats his wife for the last time
she leaves while he sleeps
He holds his guitar
close to him like a lover.
I am so strung out.
close to him like a lover.
I am so strung out.
snow falls like the rain
sweet is the touch of my love
in pain my soul weeps
sweet is the touch of my love
in pain my soul weeps
stark leaf-stripped branches
good-bye kisses on doorsteps
harvest moon waning
good-bye kisses on doorsteps
harvest moon waning
silence on the beach
your sky vast and crystal clear
my heart wide open
your sky vast and crystal clear
my heart wide open
Fingers through soft hair,
breath on cheek, kisses down neck,
the kids are at school.
breath on cheek, kisses down neck,
the kids are at school.
Red cracks sear windows
Icicle tears cling to sills
Heart storm clots gutters
Icicle tears cling to sills
Heart storm clots gutters
One love of one earth
Through hands of hope and healing
May it always be
Through hands of hope and healing
May it always be
forgotten last June
in our last kisses at dusk
two sons lay unborn
in our last kisses at dusk
two sons lay unborn
