She held
between her fingers
endless longing
for days of roses
and sun-kissed love
sweet wine
on hilltops
beneath guardian shade trees
laughter and tickle fights
on the homemade quilt
near the lake
whispers between two
in the darkness of togetherness

Hollow bones
of our
once upon a time
love
empty nothingness
without even
an ache
of memory

I can’t contain
this heart’s desire
the train wreck
screeching through
my days
crashing into
my nights
scattering my emotions
on life’s track

I taste
the memories
of you
in moonlight
and empty dreams
the flavor
still so sweet
I catch
my breath
before swallowing
all
I’ve ever
wanted

She clings to every
fragment of him
like they are arms
that can scoop her up
hold her together
although she feels
shattered and scattered…
Each piece of him screams
write me now
and I’ll always be there
never far away
and you can read me
back into your heart
any time
any day
and maybe each word of me
can hug your heart
heal the broken
even if just for a moment

You were my Midsummer’s Night Dream
from the first night on the picnic table
where you ravaged me into a daze
then took me home to your place
and did more of the same
and like a gentleman drove me home
making sure I was safe
Thus began a dream of many days and nights
summer through fall through winter and spring
and then reality crept its fingers
too far into the Night Dream
and we awoke with tears
washing our happiness into a treasured chest
of our own to secure forever
Never would it be shouted to the world
or heralded anywhere but in our hearts
This Midsummer’s Night Dream
silenced
when we both wanted to sing
