Thanksgiving:
a feeling
assigned to a day
lest it be forgot.
Best it is to be
realized…
Blest to
know its worth…
no need to
say in jest,
all dressed,
and ready to fest.
Know it unprofessed…
feel it unexpressed…
do it without a reason to impress…
say it
without
behest.
May Time gift us its Timelessness in Love
May the ardent awaken and share its want like it has been touched anew
May the wantings and yearnings become every so often rekindled
May the rosy tints adorn you lovingly however many shadows may loom
May you at times replace maturity and its instilled propriety
for that irresistible rakish charm
May romance gather around leisurely
wreathing us once again with
that heady perfume of shared Happiness
May trials and troubles emerge as surmountable
As your hand still holds mine
As my heart still holds yours
the past comes back
in the most unexpected ways
what you never wanted to forget
fades without notice
what you never wanted to remember again
catches you completely unaware
and at times
what you thought was forgotten
was just waiting for its
chance to be remembered…
a solemn soul
sits upon the sands
tracing her slender spine
a tenderly once kissed neckline
smooth curves appear upon
sun-soaked granules
teasing out the features
that he thought lost
but fingers deftly recreate
upon a canvas grainy-fine
the ocean rushes to erase
the moment of recognition
just for fun, when writing the piece “lit/unlit” light was the word that rushed forth…
a word
rushes forth
at every chance
“am i needed?”
“am i sought?”
it repeats itself
like a child recites
“can i or can i not?”
shamelessly
pandering
clumsily
meandering
teasing forgetfulness
like it wants to be caught
but ever ready
with a toothy grin
“am i needed?
how ’bout now?
am i thought?”
[stop]
so there we are
and here we are walking
yes yes i remember we were talking about the ships, the water, the scenery, oh my God i can’t believe he caught that!
[pause] [back] [back] [forward] [back] [pause]
there we are
and here we are
sometimes i remember what the voices once said
wait i believe he…
[pause] [back] [pause] [back]
there are
and here are
once i thought i knew what sounds were like
wait that him…
[stop]
there
here
i
he
