In your heart you hold



In your heart you hold
an ocean of mystery
and it takes but a moment
to plunge into the currents.

you are the beauty



You are the beauty
that does not wash
away with makeup.

I reach out



I reach out,
through the shadows
for you….
the only thing I ever
really wanted.

Photo Prompt

Our initials are carved with
Passionate intent and
Are etchings
Into the wood
 That now lays down.
Passionate etchings of
Memories and it is there
That I find you, but
I find the best of you
Beyond my dreams.
It is there, beyond dreams,
that you
Always be
Deeply who you are.

each tender whisper




When each tender whisper leaves
your lips and lingers in the air like a star
you brighten the evening.

When I Kiss




When I kiss…I kiss because
I can cope with the
essence of your heart.

Found Myself

I found myself in another reverie,
craving the sensation of you while
my mind was lost in the moment.

Vigil of Understanding

In the night air, these are flecks
of light in the glow of the moon
surrounded by a vigil of stars.
I wonder if I will understand
everything I need.
I find a part of my face
 in reflection, and
I find my silhouetted figure
 upon the ground in a shadow
and these are a few answers
 in reflections and shadows.

You have my attention,
I searched for your heart and
Your lips look like
They taste of dreams.

Collecting Fireflies



Every night I searched and
and collected in my heart
these passions for you
that illuminated, like
collecting fireflies
in a crystal lantern
on a summer’s night.

Our Star



Our resplendent star danced
away from the cosmic, nebular womb
to the songs of brother and sister stars.

Under the Canopy


Under the canopy,
beneath a myriad of clouds
let us whisper
about the meaning of the earth.

Shaded Haiku



Shaded, the cool earth,
shorn grass blades near tall flowers,
radiant petals.

Key Lime


Key Lime

When whispers couldn’t count,
Dream for a while:
Brimming bottles of rosa vino
We could have drank on
The Beirut table.
Glasses filled by heaven,
These clouds are able.

It’s your incense, my candles,
The Oriental rug, and your
Smooth leather sandals
As you dance and shrug.

Every day takes more,
I take all I can stand
I bled on the concrete and I wish I felt.
I know the sunrise and sunset comes
In the frozen land, but it’s here I melt.

Your spot an inch below your ear,
My favorite song for you,
Our funny faces
We know in the dark
Sitting on a bench in the park.

I sit and sip on key lime soda,
So, I wait for the dawn
To reach my home. The quiet lights in the sky
They sing late this song as I lay me down in the
frosty lawn.



Poem from the book Beneath the Dreaming Tree

^CoRe^



^CoRe^


At the core of my heart
there is no gravity,
everything is free to fly.

At the core of my heart
there is no time,
all is a version of now.

At the core of my heart
there are no more flames to burn another,
now there is phosphoresce aurora borealis.

At the core of my heart
there are moments of silence,
harmonized by music, a capella and conversation.

At the core of my heart
there is the flavor of the stars
in all that I savor.

At the core of my heart
there is the aroma of clouds

in all that passes.


El centro


En el centro de mi corazón
no hay gravedad,
todo es libre para volar.

En el centro de mi corazón
no hay tiempo,
todo es una versión de ahora.

En el centro de mi corazón
no hay más llamas para quemar a otra,
ahora hay una aurora boreal fosforescente.

En el centro de mi corazón
hay momentos de silencio,
armonizada por la música y la conversación.

En el centro de mi corazón
hay el sabor de las estrellas
en todo lo que saboreo.

En el centro de mi corazón
hay el aroma de las nubes

en todo lo que pasa.
