like many thoughts

winter winds blowing, leaves
scattered, like many thoughts.
inside warm love glows

~csr



may seasons transform
the arrangements of heavens
i will love you still

letting go

bustling moment     
contrasted… 
        by sudden quiet.

how ephemeral…
     is this life
        our moment.

so we tussle…

on no account
       wholly embracing.

by no means
     fully letting go.

in orbit

we all have emptiness
and it wants...
mostly what we don't have...
destroying what we do.
even so
if we can perhaps
place it in the center...
if we can learn
to balance it in the middle...
     like an axis...
it's gravity can hold
   the rest of our being
   around it
        in orbit

november sky

i inhabit
   identify
    and resonate
  with your
 petitioning tongue
in the mystique
  of darkened dialect
the immaculate burning
   still furious
glows for you
though as
   a distant star
      in a
november sky

even a spark blinds




it is behind clouds
we seek light… and in darkness
even a spark blinds

my bones sigh



settled behind
  misplaced thoughts…
  quiescent moods…
  ramshackle yearning…
            a beat, my heart taps. 
tucked between
   pleated memories…
   collected emotions…
   tumbledown hope…
           a chord, my veins strum.
suspended underside
   hazy recollections…
   pastel feelings…
   watery reliance…
           a tune, my flesh whispers.
sheathed within
    fractured accounts…
    calcified sentiments…
    broken assurance…
           your name,  my bones sigh.
