Who Is There

Who is there
when there’s no one there no more
when the music has been turned off,
the dance stopped
when the day has sunk away
and the night envelopes me
when I’m alone with my thoughts,
alone with headaches
who is there
who is always
and everywhere
where love is

It’s you

In My Heart Space

I have a ballroom for us to dance in
A flower garden to walk through
A sacred place to always sink deep
in each other’s arms
A bed of rose petals to make love on
A starry sky to shoot our dreams in
An infinite paper to write poetry on
Here in my heart space

It Comes To Her

Sometimes she goes outside
into the woods
and restlessly seeks the birds,
the squirrels,
her beloved, her words
She runs between the trees
in search of fruits
Until she stops
and listens
to her own breath,
her own heartbeat
and let love find her
Then the birds start to sing
poetry is blown her way
squirrels come out to play
and she sees him
the moment she stops looking
the whole forest looks for her

Valparaiso

What do your eyes see
as they stare inward
and sail in inner waters
Do they see shores
of the past
pirates, soldiers
Or do they see new horizons
Do they wonder
will there ever come an end
to all the water
Will there ever be land
Do they dream of love’s Valparaiso
that they’ve seen
in eyes overseas

Appearance

Thoughts keep chatting in my head
as they exchange the last worries,
the last sad and fearful stories
with each other
and make a lot of noise
but then I open the curtains
and let you and me appear
in a romantic scene
on the stage of my mind
and then all those thoughts, in awe,
are nothing but a quiet audience

She Still Believes

At the end of the day the moon
kisses the sun goodbye
as she watches him glide
off the earth
She knows, at dawn they will meet again
and his light, she carries it within
And then even if nights
are dark, long and lonely,
the morning thousands of miles away,
she shines it brightly
to remind herself, him, the earth
to still believe

Free Verse

I’ve fallen into a free verse with you
where untamed words
are kissed on lips,
their meaning tasted
Lines are drawn with fingers on skin
that hunger to write and be written
Ink becomes fluid
Then poetry is made
when bodies rhyme
and find a rhythm
and when outside the form
they climax

Highway Home

A maze of city streets
with curves and corners
in front of me
And I look up and see
the vastness of the night sky
like a dome above me

And I’ll take
the milky way tonight
to cross worlds
and to cycle to you

I’ll take
the highway home

That Star

When the night consists of pain
migraines that cut like knives
in the head
and make it hard to breathe
as the whole body contracts
Alone on a violent sea
The shore of the morning
yet far away
then you’re that star in the firmament
that my heart stays focused on

She Kept His Heart Safe

Once adults lied
They betrayed
and fooled a boy
into taking
a big, metallic bird
overseas
to a foreign land
He left his heart behind
on the other side
of the ocean

Oh boy, oh boy
there was no going back
he was lost
for so many years
Searching for a place
that he could call home

He dreamed of a girl
he had never met
But he knew,
she was out there
somewhere on the other side
her fate closely tied to his

In the years that passed
he sang his songs
and let the wind
carry them far
hoping that
she would hear his call

She heard the melody
within her soul
She sent love
Love, one day,
found him
and built a ship
to take him
once again across
the ocean
and to reunite him
with his heart

And it was the girl
he had longed for
that, all those years,
had kept it safe
for him
within her own chest

Snow In April

When it snows and storms
in April
and I battle with the wind
battle with myself
and I cannot even get words out
will you hold me tightly
as I cry and scream my pain
in hurricanes and waterfalls
and will you remind me
with your strong arms,
your soft voice
of the inevitability of Spring
