When the door closed she showed me What was hidden behind her back A handful of fire that lit the walls with shadow And bathed our faces in twilight...
Talk of Thunderstorms
A World in Daylight Beyond This Shore
His pulse aligned with the ebbing tide Foam-flecked sand awash in moonlight Losing track of the night beneath the waves...
Symphony of Two
This couch is our throne in shadowSeeping through the open windowsPooling on the carpet and hiding us from the world.It’s too easy to believe in evil at times like this.Melt with me into the nightAnd let us hope we disappear togetherLost to the world—or fleeing it.Who will chase us before the way back is closed?The...

Come With Me
'Come with me to the end,’ she said.‘I know of a placeWhere the wind tastes of cinnamonRivers flow cold and pure Through meadows of goldAt night clouds departAnd stars fall like snowUpon the mountaintops.Time cannot touch us there.’I listened to herAnd fell more madly in love.We could not knowThe end lay not in golden meadowsOr...

If I Could Choose
When I’m near you, I don’t know what to do with my handsOr where to look. If I could choose, I would look nowhere else but at you.When I see you, the words I’ve mulled over for days To make just right are suddenly gone.If I could choose, I would give you my soul to... Continue Reading →
Our Valley
At home in our valley Beneath the mountain of the Gods Cast ever in the shadow of their splendor While they look not at their feet But out upon the world We, darling, You and I Escape their gaze. Together we place The world at our backs And will not bow To the pressing... Continue Reading →
