The Incredible Depth Pain Can Have

You never know
how deeply
you can hurt
till you feel
the stranglehold
of loss
desperately clinging
to your bones
with razor sharp nails
clawing - shredding
your Heart
to get at the marrow
of your Soul
& suck you dry

Universe ever expanding

Universe ever expanding
horizons still in sight
your dreams -
tangible -
vivid colors -
remembered with dawn
& tasted on your awakened tongue

each heartbeat puts you present
in your skin-

each breath alive in the moment-
with joyous anticipation you embrace
the winds of change

as they lick the back of your neck
sending shivers down your spine
rebirthing your spirit-
your soul-

i see the youthful wonderment
in your eyes-

For Years You Have Travelled

For years you have travelled
musk mixing with loam
obscured
shadow stalking
the edges
of my mind.
Bask in the heat
of exposure
naked skin
sings in the sun.
Berries are ripe
& ready to harvest
rejoice
as sweet juices
kiss your chin.
Slumber safely
embraced by wild flowerings
breathe-
slow-
long-
inhaling the blossoms nectar.
Suckle
the buzzing hive
savor
the gift of honey
caressing your tongue.
Dive to the depths
& drink deeply
from the clear pools
of my eyes-
your reflection
mirrored
dances across the surface
of my soul.
Come!
Claim your deed.
Climb the canopies of my longing
& experience
the acreage of my heart.
