Yet
Yet there you
Are trying
To embrace an
Empty ache
Of what,
Or who unknown.
No substance close.
Dreams. Nightmares.
You wake up soaked in sweat
And wanting.
Needing
Some touch of heart,
Some warmth of skin.
Is it a ghost from the past you
So desire
Or something yet to come?

Raspberries
I stepped outside
And it hit me like a wave;
The smell of fresh dirt;
The forest floor and raspberries.
Fresh raspberries.
Right there on the cement
Surrounded by cars and buildings.
Heartfelt memories tugging.
Tugging.
A scent that cannot be duplicated by man.
I knew instantly in my heart it was my father,
Gone 20 years now.
I was taken back to childhood
Days and picking delicious raspberries in the woods;
Eating more than ended up in the bowl.
I composed myself and
Walked to my car.
Sitting in the front seat;
Missing him.
I turned the key to start the
Engine
And there was his song playing.
The one my siblings and I requested on the Radio station the day of his funeral.
I am glad he reminds me he is near.

Masterpiece
Is it not amazing
That your soul has awakened to things
My soul has not
And visa versa?
Here we are learning from each other with every
Experience,
Every moment.
We are like puzzle pieces to this
Big, beautiful
Tumultuous puzzle of life.
Different colors, shapes and sizes
Fitting together to create
A mind blowing,
Breath catching
Masterpiece;
If we so choose.

Apparition
You must have been an
Apparition.
A made up someone in my
Imagination.
For I wandered these stone stairwells
And
I roamed through
Winters withering garden
Following your song.
I knew I should find shelter,
Somewhere to warm my core.
But once outside I could return
Inside no more
For
I was met with barred windows and
Locked doors.
I found you in the courtyard.
I tried to reach you.
Touch you.
You vanished as I approached.
My fingers now cold and frozen,
I,
Left dreaming in the fog with ghosts and snowflakes.
And I remained alone
As I was all
Along.
I must have mistaken the
Wind howling through
Windows and doors,
Through
Winters garden
For your song.

Sky
The sky.
There she is
Every day,
Every night.
Brilliant air,
Colors so fair.
She fills all the empty spaces with her being
Indifferent to our goings on.

Logical
The logical mind brushes it off,
The serendipity,
The coincidence.
The pulling.
Magnetism that keeps drawing us closer.
The dreams unexplained,
That make no sense to the mind
But send the heart higher into
Time undefined.
Remembering.
Remembering.
A familiarity in your smile,
Your eyes.
The sound of your laughter.
My skin ignites at the thought
Of your song in my my head,
In my mouth.
