when did you start to abandon
your strength...your might
when did you let him seize
your essence, your grace
leaving wounds that scar
when did fear grip you tight
underneath a pendulum’s sway
robbing your inner love
when did you forget
every piece
every part
of your true
whole self?

Landscape
my body dug its soil,
while my soul sowed the seed.
and that's where calm was
planted and watered by flight
to transcend with gratitude,
my brutal reality on a distant horizon

I might hang myself right side down
and drip dry my self
from swinging hooks,
so that you might have room
to make a home
beneath my skin.
I want your hands
against these bones which ache,
too much,
for your touch,
and for your heart to beat in unison
alongside the endless murmurs of mine.
I wouldn’t mind having you under this skin,
so would it be too much to ask,
to have you make your way in?

Love me even if life tries to steal me away from you. Love me in this silence and in the distance that are none of our doing but which we suffer all the same. Love me for my heart only beats your name. Love me without ever harboring doubt in your heart. I am yours from the marrow up and my one true desire is to be in your arms. Love me while you wait. Love me without words and with every breath. Love me till we can be together again.
e.v.e. (Letters to my love)

Will I ever possess the softness I pretend to have?

whispering
The white butterflies, those
Heart-shaped sweets
And my daughter - the one my body
betrayed - her precious hands
The moment's creatures, all
Strands in my braid
I do remember dreams
My hair does sometimes
Cover my face, and yet
Space can only follow time
One way, not another
So who am I to
Keep looking behind

empathy in c minor
pleading can you hear
i'm
in the wrong bath, i stare off like a soliloquy
pacing hallways and kitchens
i have a voice, somewhere i know
but i lost it in the mirror
the Most Capable of sharing songs and art
(nothing more)
how do i say to you i'm unwell, sick
like a natural spring, without
folding my arms, leaning back
crossing legs, measuring wingspans
how do I say say say
King Night is here, asking me to be a person
when it matters less
How do I function? Buy groceries?
Talk on the phone?
how do i live in my Name? with it,
bastard thing conjoined to my hip
radiation and coat racks labelled poetry
I'm breathing a spark of fire that never lights
and I am to the rain a dancer interrupting her landing

Poem To A Friend
There's something astoundingly tender
in how you deny your own softness, it's
okay, I get it; there are holes in the sky
again, it's another lab-grown season,
hard to love but twice as necessary to
do so, in light shows and total ambient
darkness. You're worth keeping. I'm
hitting everything in the house, just
trying to make it out alive. I know how
this sounds; it isn't your problem; you
are careful, patient, quiet, and lovely.

Sorcerer
who says there is
no magic in the world
the first frost glistens like
delicate spray paint
shining in the morning sun
leaves crunch beneath
my feet like crackers
bird song still
heralds a new day
not everyone gets
to go south
for the winter
I stop along the trail
and take it all in
the quiet whispers of life
the elegant beauty
of the season
the joy of truly being alive
all I had to do was let go
of that incessant need
to keep moving forward
and just be in the moment

if you are not willing to stretch your heart
to fit the things about her that normally would not fit
then you know nothing of love, of what is real
do not be afraid to stretch and expand your love
your heart has a magic to it, allowing it to envelop
it can except all the good and the bad of her
real love is comprised of both…

Let's fall in love
and live our days
as if they were our last
and as we grow old together
and until the end of life
be assured that to betrayal
I will remain like water to oil
for loyalty is to my nature
as a wolf is to its flock

This too,
will cease.
Like each before it,
it will crumble.
Like every meeting of the lips,
where in time we must draw away,
like every time I’ve held you
in my arms,
but had eventually
to let you slip away,
this too,
will cease.
And like every time
my eyes met yours,
or my skin,
felt the heat
of your flesh
against itself,
my eyes will draw away,
and your warmth
will be forgotten.
This too
will cease.
And my body will move from yours,
forever in the opposite direction.
And my thoughts
will lose sight of you,
and so too,
will my mind.
This too,
like every other meeting of the heart,
with either you,
or anyone else,
will cease.

I love waking and feeling you in my soul like a river that flows through my being, leaving love everywhere on my shore. You are the smile of my dawn and the prayer of my stars. The bubbling joy of your presence, the oxygen that fills my heart. I feel your life in the flow of mine, and as my heart embraces you, my thoughts kiss you, and my soul blossoms, I murmur a prayer that I may always be held in your arms.

May it taste like wild honey suckles
And feel as soft as petunia petals
This life that you are living.
I wish you light and laughter so real
That your smile reaches your ears
Let the years be kind to you
My Darling.
