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

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

silence
savor me…
what i said
to you
for you…
does not
need
a response
anyway

laid out
your fire, the sun
that only looks directly at you
through reflection
of red, of wood
everlasting
in me

my heart
is your
garden
.
looking into
you
my eyes
touched your
clouds
.
the ones
that drink in
their deserts
.
to answer,
i floated
in dark leaves
.
knowing you
would
melt me,
soon

you drift
you feel
your way to me
as steam
seeping…
in your way
that holds it all
together
somehow
a prize

every step i take
i’m closer to you
the way i feel you
see me
as if looking through
piercing…
did you know
you are the mountain
i intend to climb
and reach?
…after all
you are the one who
taught me
how to whisper

through words
and time
we find our way
cobwebs of fears …
clarity that whispers…
dusty ashes, long ago speaking
of time gone by
sunlight laughing
on beaches with no name
when in the end
what i really want to know is
am i worth it?

a strange rain in june
my petal stretching out
to you
when you reached for it
i leapt
and prayed
to you that you would
find your way across
to where i am

create me like i created you
in the space
which lies deeper than you know
it is where, you see,
i first found
the concept of your
decision
to think outside your unexpected life
and roar instead
impactful.
i sighed

as the mist, its vapors
turns my air
to its breath
i can feel that i knew you
once
before i knew…
you burned me
with your fire
inside:
i have always known you
and even when i did know
i didn’t know yet
yet i knew too…
that all along
you were building a mystery
that had dissolved into me

words only take me to the end of the road… where feelings are footpaths… but, opening me to you and you to me… i miss you when you go… i am yours… sing to me anyway… never forget that your tears are your soul…

what is your wish?
why don’t you tell it to me
now…
so i can keep it safe in the place
where the trees know
your name
and why not tell me too
if you are for real
in a place where i am you
and you are me
did i tell you yet that you are my wish?

i yearn for
the touch
of your river
flowing toward me…
as the river settles
to the ocean
i am the mix
of me, your warrior
of you, my wave…

can i face you, ghost
and know everything
that what isn’t said
could be
but is masked instead in a mist…
its chosen way
lose yourself
in me
when you feel you see me
but don’t
a side of me, you follow
gone like mist, maybe sleeping
eyes lost
given
proudly to you
and for you

this poem inspired uncleblack to compose a song ‘ghost’ using these lyrics… posted on bandcamp (the katie winter).
