what is a heart, i ask
is it you? do you hear me?
flowing blood
protecting love
building walls
melting eyes
always beating . . . beating . . .
you carry lifetimes
of veins
of cells
and secrets of who we are

when time stops
through raindrops
i’ll know you are
here
with me
touching me
with your unknown
as silence will be shattered with speech, in small droplets
as it is, as it will be, as it always has been…

darkened sun speaking … through what hides … deep in its cocoon
but to risk your heart opening, oh simple soul, will change your life
hold the belief of you … to be protected .. to be loved

your layers
exude
your form, solidified
a story of strength
untold
awaits
the test of time…
rolling
seeking
its mastery
within
as its mystery
hardens…
softens…
then floats
you carved me, you know
valleys breathing now
thank you
stay with me, you say
i can feel you breathe

your fingers
that reach to the sky
just told me
i’m not the same without you

write with me
… as if i’m writing you
… as if i hear only your voice
your substance, your curves, your nuances, your eyes
as if for the first time
seeing me, perhaps
as a tiny particle of life in the ripple of a pond
it’s true, i remember the stars
when we first met
did you know that the cobble stones
on our path
each covered in moss
growing
alive
know that to provide direction
to you
is to cheat you of your trail of treasures in life?
… with your warm beaming clouds
listen to them
(. . .)
i do

i transmitted
my thoughts to you
just now …
eyes at sunset
never stop penetrating
the everlasting moment …
just bow your head and be silent

be careful, don’t forget
you are gazing at the light
as you search for meaning
horizons, expanded…
i come to you without me
without a sound
hidden behind no door
…enough of words
you are my precious moments,
revealed,
rising together with us
as parts

before you knew me
i felt you …
knowing me,
piercing me
to the core
with a secret
unspoken
let me know when
you’re ready
to do it again
remember, i’m your innuendo

it would seem
that as it goes
there is no
color before the storm
we stand together, all good
with wonder
is there another way
that’s right
to shake my mystique?
speak to me now
in the only way
you know how

particle, you are
and i will
…forever
be changed
in a moment
where you imagine
you live in the same wonder
that i do

how right we are
on our wood path

Thank you, Ava, and poet community for the Perfect Poet Award 🙂 I accept. For next week I nominate Poetry Road
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

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.

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

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

between spaces of time, misty
you start to believe
that you always have time
like a river
a precious you
is waiting to notice
in this moment
saved for you
see through
what follows you home
to be your pillow…
a winding path
on a daydream
leads to your smile
it’s already for you
to hear,
so listen to its whisper
you are beautiful
