Innocent curiosity rewarded,
I stared hard into the mirror
to put on my best face.
To find the courage
to make a dream come true.
You laughed and were intrigued.
I heard you breathe
a sigh, a release.
You laughed and were intrgued,
and I was enchanted fully…
Again.
<>
By Ocean sparkles
framed by dimples
and starlight hair.
Alive again. Finally.
After eternity without,
I saw you.
your presence was
not a requirement.
Not so now.
<>
And so it began,
the second time
last April.
Had I forgotten
something Id aways known,
Was I remembering something
Id just learned ?
Again.
<>
A memory in color ?
Or a black and white dream
like the first time
when I lifted my head
to see through my haze
an angel
shining brightly
through the dark?
<>
You made all the choices
eight months of the year
The rest?
I dreamed or remembered
Forgot or remembered
The angel chose the direction
and oceans no longer sparkled
armor comes crashing
and feathers float earthward
Slow motion -light
because all that is left is heavy.
<>
And me with my
Wings of Desire
dreaming, remembering
forgetting, remembering
That the curse
of humanity is free will
and the price
is eternity transformed.
Far Away, So close.
<>
I thought a black and white
world of certainty,
held much more promise
than a technicolor world
of chaos and confusion.

I.
Ask the ghost in you
if my true spirit is a
worthy opponent
II.
I will give my love
and when you think I’ve run out,
I will give again.
III.
Here, where I’m waiting
it drives me silently mad,
quietly insane.
IV.
Can’t you see my arms,
are the arms strongest enough,
to defeat your fear?
V.
Warm breeze finds your hair
and as they play together
take my breath with it.
