hear me
as if you feel
who i am…
as if you’re about
to melt
but don’t know how
as if you are the only person
who i’m speaking
to now
as if these words
mean something
maybe the world
to you
as if i’ll know
your heart is
beating faster
as if
your wish
just came true

what is it
to forget?
a distant dream
gone by
known by only
a whisp
an ache that pulls
its way back
keeps trying
but cannot stick
or is it
a wish to
know nothing
feel nothing
be nothing
so that the pressure
to be more
absolves
even though
it forgets
it remembers still
i remember

and then
it’s you, as you pass by…
in your hair
i’m not sure
but i think i see
an object of you
reflecting
burning your light
in the water…

unveiled…
your eyes are the windows
to a lifetime
of wisdom
within
practicing…
you hear
what’s written on your face
arriving as you are
the flame in the fire
has an idea
what i’m thinking

swirls of life
judgments
and tears
we move past it…
as our hearts dig deep
to the soul
of all that whispers,
we know
without question
that which tells a story
in the spaces of us
and that which lives
forever in a moment

teach me
the way you move
through silent instincts
i remember your words
waves moving
through me
to the space
that only imagination
and bodies feel
then minds are still

wondering
are you real,
enclosed in a bubble of time
secrets kept
tightly in my hand?
. . .
and then you remind me
that in our hand,
where time does not exist,
i have found you

with a whisper
you share so much
i know you knew…
the swirl of your thoughts
your eyes
looking into
the day i knew
but once forgot
thank you for never stopping
our moment
that you knew
i felt.

floating…
yes, on me.

you see me now
under waves of light?
how?
i thought it was dark
it is.

when i cannot
put a word
to it…
when i know it is
creeping
along inside its own
skin
when you have no idea
and float away from seeing
its polar opposite
in you
for me

if you ever feel
lost
each piece of you,
a flower petal,
thrown and left alone
on the ground
without a cause…
just remember
that you are
a forest of flowers…

together
in me,
deep
moving imagination
that you are,
call me
to a place
that works
in solitude
living
lightly,
accept me
never forgetting
that i
live in a circle
that repasses
that which
occurred
yet sees
its tunnel
to shine

imagine me
as crazy as you
in your forest
that smiles with your sound
i see you
don’t go
touch me again
in only a second
…i knew you

sometimes…
it’s all just a part
of a winding path
on a daydream
as your smile,
the river to your sun,
inside its own skin
has no idea
and floats away from seeing
just waiting
for its time
to feel what it can’t
see
…yet

your awe unseen
or hidden
your force
your battle
protects me, invisible
