Please…
I need you here
tonight
to hold me
as tenderly as you held my fears
as fearlessly as you dried my tears
Come…
let’s lay down our words
and lie together
with nothing between us
but dreams
spoken silently
with fingertips on skin
pressed softly
with lips
between pages
of soul
Rewritten
with each touch of love our hearts create
from our own silent sanctuary
in the stillness of Sacred
Please…
I need you here…
tonight

Blue ink
stains vellum
as the pen glides
in the soft flow of feel
on paper scented like her skin
in Spring
written by a heart
reaching to touch
his
beyond words
beyond measure
Will he feel her pulse
beat inside his chest
as he traces
her lips
pressed in red
in place of her name
on a handwritten letter
folded in thirds

She feels him
his smile
his voice
his scent
his touch
winding through her
creating sparks
underneath skin
his energy
buzzing around her
in air
she tries to scoop up
to hold close
as if to wear him
as her only garment
until
she can see
hear
breathe
touch him
again

She hated mornings
the startling buzz of the alarm
shattering silence
repeatedly
with each fumbled slam of the snooze button
yet always chose the opening shift at the small counter
where morning people
greeted one another
with smiles
and laughter
were not hurried
complaining about the wait
they brought the sun
into a fluorescent room
easing her into the day
in a way the alarm never could

Naked and afraid
she curled into him
Exposed
Raw
expecting him to leave
everyone else did
but he stayed
showing her the beauty
that she is

If I close my eyes
I can hear the rustle of leaves
birdsong joyously welcoming the dawn
Feel light shimmer on stillness
of a barely perceptible current
knowing it is the symphony of my soul
orchestrated
by Mother Earth
from the inside
out

Fabricating sins
to a shadow behind a latticed screen
too ashamed of the real ones
wondering
the cost
for telling lies to God
Can forgiveness ever be granted
when the penance given
lies in the prayer
that she forgot

Gently
she tucked the stray strands of white hair
behind the ear
of the dying woman whose name she didn’t yet know
Holding her hand
silently praying
for her breath
to ease
and three labored breaths later
the prayer answered
when it ceased
