still waters

still waters

run deep

carrying your petals

down to the mouth of the sea

and your light from the sources.

(for D.)

5 a.m.

at 5 a.m.

when night closes its lids

quite tight over the world

your heartbeat hovers

quietly over the moonlit crest

of the forest's shaded slumber

dissolved at first dawn's shimmer.

(for D.)

haven

in the gold of your smile

all sunsets shall glow

all springs yet to come and yet to remember

shall bloom in the hue of your name

while the crescent moon turns towards you

blue eventime ark

sailless and helmless

yet knowing by heart

your soul's haven.

(for D.)

note

letting go is leaving
not losing

it means letting go of an idea
something that could not be
at this time and at this place

it means walking away
cutting a tear into the sky
to let them fall
into a dismal void beyond

letting go is leaving
not losing.

☽

take the sky away

your moon shall stay

flower sweet with bitter fruit

unfading as the sea.

(for D.)
