The waves of you and I

The dream won’t forget

all that is meant to be commemorated 

as dusk sleeps

the smile won’t disappear

when flocks of birds chase infinity

and dawn lays like a blanket

the sun will always remember

our friends upon the ground 

to whom windowpanes bring laughter

and whispers sway

A time in the past

perhaps is gone

perhaps is remembered

like the light upon a flame

a spark of past desire

which finds smiles that remain

vivid in your heart

with feelings that run along

into the trellises of forever

that is nowhere near now

A life along the line

where longing lays like a quilt 

covering your dreams

within itself

for durations that can’t be measured

In a breath

is the dream you found

in the wind that still blows

from days remembered as bliss

dissipated in time

that forever stays 

long enough to save

your hope along the shore

where sands have never moved

awaiting your return

motionless—

like the island on the lake

whose sight you can not shake

but only remembered

when time lasted long enough

The wonders of time

only speak when you sleep 

only shine when you dream

they run when you see

they fly with the eyes

who cover skies when you cry

sending tears upon the land

the tears of you and I

running like the clouds

rushing like the waves

the waves of you and I

Time we only thought

embracing our present sense

escaping memories of tomorrow

which fancies other realms

of what never was

but is, in place of truth

while clocks move on like rain

abiding in what is true

two worlds are calling my name

the worlds of me and you

What was and what could never be

melt into a moment

where tears have yet to fall

where thinking turns to air

where mirrors never seen before

reflect upon the soul

spelling dreams of autumn leaves

winters filled with snow

springs of open fields of green

warmth we wished to know

while knowing all exceeds our sense

and we just wish to feel

What was it you were trying to tell me?

I have yet to comprehend

your memories are barring me from new ones 

and my present is also with you

What was the song you were singing

while never making a sound,

the question you posed

in a shattered glance?

I only remember what you showed me

I can’t recall a noise

coming from your flying lips

a message from your pulse

heard only by your heart

yet it shook me clear

and echoed within my soul

My sense and my heart

are a ways apart

and the ongoing rains

have flooded my longing

sinking my past days

to unknown depths

that are subtly illuminated 

by tomorrows dawn

The beacons aim

weathered in a storm so cold

wishing for a sign

a sign to drift away

into those lands we knew

into the embrace so known

luminescent of love

I soar at the reflection of life

of all that faced a mirror

of the day that sleeps

for the long indigo night

where the tall chain-linked fence

is under a sky like oil

on life’s stage as such

alive in the same being

I am in now

A true scene it was

time doesn’t stand between us

everything is in the same moment as before

a long drawn out second of existence

only resting for dreams,

only knowing when we laugh,

only slowing down when we cry,

and only stopping that one night

when we ran on the beach

and the moon was red and large

accompanying the soul

over the water like ink

glowing with liquid stars

while we ran down the dunes

triumphant towards the streets
