It Was That

Dogwoods blooming by crystal streams

Twilight drifting past your shoulders

And touching my cheeks with starlight

We kissed our first kiss………….

It was that innocent, that special.

Mistletoe falling from Christmas trees

In a meadow draped white with snow

And decorated by angels

We danced our first dance………………

It was that breathless, that pure.

Cathedral bells chiming in the new year

In a golden city with silver streets

And champagne filling every mud puddle

We became one at our first joining………..

It was that beautiful, that forever.

And we breathed each other’s air

And walked upon one another’s feet

Arms entwined like ivy through lattice

With lips that sought no other mouth……………

It was our life, it was our love.

Van Gogh painted us,

Monet decorated our house,

Chopin wrote our love songs,

And Da Vinci was our teacher……………

It was our future, it was our history.

We grasped life with eager eyes

Living every moment

With our souls woven in wonder

Devouring love like bowls of bread………

And never getting filled.

Dandelions pushing through newly born grass

On a May day so golden the sun was singing

And wrapping the river in heated arms

We felt our first inkling……………..

It was that puzzling, that inconceivable.

And Autumn came

And the leaves did not turn orange and fall

The trees fell instead

And with them, all the colors in the world……………..

And left a canvas gray and without sun.

The gold of the dandelion

Turned to fragile wisps of fluff

Though the stem stood tall and straight

As long as it could stand…………..

And the winds came, dispersing all it’s glory.

What do you say when the book is finished?

When symphonies lapse into silence

And landscapes fall from their frames?

How do you recapture dreams that die at waking

And retrace steps that have vanished on the shore?

Dragons breathed upon me

And swept the sky of stars

The last rose wept and laid itself so gently on your heart

And every light blinked in the dark……………

And our house bowed it’s head.

Wildfires burning through emerald forests

Clear cut mountains that used to be green

Dust and ashes where there used to be life

We said our first goodbye………………….

It was that desolate, it was that sad.

What Is A Mile To Love? An observation on the heart

 

What Is A Mile To Love?

What is a mile to love?

A distance to the heart?

Oceans and mountains and skies full of stars

To unsundered souls sundered apart?

Like old songs said in days gone by

No mountain high, no valley low

They said that love could not be lost

But now we know, but now we know.

Lost but ever present still

Like ghosts that walk with timid step

Haunted hands that once sweetly caressed

That long to hold the hand that left.

The heart hears what the ear cannot 

The heart hungers for love it may never be fed

The heart knows the truth when the mind is confused

The heart still lives on though the flesh has long fled.

There is no distance in the realm of love

It disdains every ending like it cherishes the start

From birth unto death with every longing and breath

The heart finds no home till it finds the right heart.

And though that place may seem far away

Past boundaries, borders and seashores and sea

It matters not to the heart that loves yours

Your heart will always be right here with me.

RIVERS AGO from Voo's Vault

RIVERS AGO

Rivers Ago

Rivers ago

I fought an unwinnable battle

I thought I knew the answers

But only questions came to light

When I laid my weary head 

Beneath the wayward stars.

You were there, always

An inch away from true love

And a million miles from me

Dancing in somebody else’s starlight

Quenching your thirst with a stranger’s wine

But never mine.

I’ve made it a habit

Of crossing rivers just to cross them

Going from one side to the other

Looking forward, looking back

To see which side looks better

But there’s no difference on either side for me.

You were fool’s gold

When I thought you were pure

Thought I’d found the mother lode of all love

The hidden treasure, the pearl of great price

The shelter for my homeless heart

But you tarnished when I held you in my hands.

Still I hoped

Until hope was drained by drought

And even then, dredged for your love

In the mud of dis-consolation

You were always on the wrong side of every river

Surrounded by broken boats

And I never learned to swim.

Nothing Rhymed Today.......golden oldie from Voo's Vault

Nothing Rhymed Today

Nothing rhymed today

There was no meter or melody

No singing lyric or verse of song

Just jangled nerves and unspoken fears

Left dangling on my key chain.

Cars passed me

In the pouring rain

And never acknowledged the girl

With the gas can and the thumb

And the mascara running down my face.

I could have shown some leg

I suppose

But my clothes were plastered to me

Like I had been poured into them

And everything I had was exposed already.

If it had been yesterday

I would have laughed at my mishap

Run down the highway

Danced in the rain and stopped traffic

With the glow on my shining face.

Everything rhymed yesterday

Every word that issued from my mouth

Was finely tuned, in perfect key

Poetry sprang from my fingertips

And car horns sounded like sonnets.

But I have no music left in me

It walked out in your suitcase last night

Winked it's dark eye and said goodbye

And I heard it laughing

All the way down the staircase to the street.

Poetry is a traitor

It makes you write when you don't want to

From places you don't want to revisit

Sing songs so sad they break the heart

And make rhymes of things that will never rhyme again.
