This warmth between us
the knitted verse of poetry
~
Life happens while you wait
for a lover to ease the knot of fate
~
What am I? — Just a shadow passing in the rain.
~
If someone asked me
what proof have I got
that I really lived,
I’d only have my poetry.
~
Wounded by this longing,
I write poetry.
~
Water washes the skin but rain cleanses the soul.
~
Barefoot
she walks in my dreams
spilling moonlight
from her dark hair,
her breath
a candle whispering
the softest intimacy.
~
Watching her sleep,
to the candle’s light
he weaves his breath
and covers her gently.
