“Our depth is a shallow
In the seas of being
The iris of existence.
Our ideas…
Warmth and cold.
Oil pastels…
Upon the pupil.”

On a night like this,
Ill look down south,
Ill hold what’s left,
Your thoughts,
Are sweeter than,
The sugar in the sky.
F.H.
But was I a bird
To pluck my plume
A nest.
But was I was a bird
For you.
But was I the olive
To lay my leaf
Abed.
But was I the olive
For you.
But was I the sun
To let my light
Blanket.
But was I the sun,
For you.
But, as the night,
It will seem,
I settle for you in dream.
What if a thought, perhaps a few,
In every snowflake that fell for you,
Where to chime in its own way?
They all would, though indifferently…
Theirs is not a frosty hymn.
I know they came from a warmer spring.
Past the mountains in unknown groves,
A sun implored them… and now lets go.
Before my eyes settle to skies
And aimless wishes fall to dreams
I gaze across the cotton miles
And milky way shimmering streams.
I’d like to think there are those who
Have known rest on a cloud or two…
And close the curtains with this thought
Pretending to be, of those aloft.
These letters are want the days
That I’ll remember few,
When we galloped fields of sage
And valleys of featherfew.
There you hummed a poets lines,
When of sage rose grape vines;
And threaded the night a gown
With lamp lights that littered town.
I couldn’t as a stranger pass
As you dressed a virgin land,
A language braided of the past
With a homeless heart and handless hand.
So your hills I braved
When you unearthed to me,
As we with night behaved,
Where you conceived a doorless key.
My elegy births a war
Though it conceived
An idea of hope.
And we wondered,
‘What was beautiful?’ ,
Growing through the loom
Of a departed life.
What was beautiful?
It was hope,
To be free of wants
And profits of our souls.
…a place between far and home.”
You are you and I am me,
Why would I
Not be trembling.
Let us love on balcony,
Let us sway
Gods canopy.
Around the corner
The road will end
But let us
Till then pretend.
And even now
I’m sure we’ll find
Another corner there
This time.
