Self-Construct

I notice a calmness within me

As I assemble the new chair

Even when I make a mistake

I do not berate myself harshly

Self analysis is no sin

So long as you are open and fair

Yet beware of any justice you fake

Hope that you judge yourself smartly

With such wisdom that deftness abounds

Carrying her peace and presence

Away from the curse that madness surrounds

Married thoughtlessly to his haste and anger

I Think of You

This poem

Makes me think of you

I don't know why

But it's true

Almost every day 

I stop & think of you

I don't know why

But it's true

The right side of the brain caresses the left side of the brain

Stèphane Mallarmè’s poem Sigh
Brings me to think of the two of you
I halfway begin to understand why
To find truth one needs to be true

The days thoughts I cannot deny
Have me singing songs of gold and blue
Two lovers, one past and one present
Two shadows both bathed in effervescence

Breathing

In extremis

Lust after your voice

Urge, for the flower

Of your written words

Sunk by the thought of your smile

Sallied forth into that nightmare

Of your dancers breath lost 

Becoming clearly absent

From nowhere at all

Moments of Clarity

You asked quietly
To me it was clear
The big decisions came easily that day

There was no room for doubts to enter
Cocooned within the euphoria of love
Pure & present

It wasn’t an emptiness of thought
It was a new vitality
Given to the soul as one to another

We took our chances
By not thinking of the chances
We were about to take
