instead of you

how could that be

how could that ever be

on the certain line

i write to you

i write to you

you were there

then you were gone

you spoke the words

i loved to hear

i write to you

what love

is to be found

on the cusp

of our waking dreams

i write to you

i was there

then i was gone

i spoke the words

you loved to hear

i write to you

in plain type

in bold type

the poem appears

then disappears

i write to you

thankful for your gifts

of loving kindness

of absolute transcendence

to the worlds of love

you were absent

you were absent

then you were present

you spoke the words

i loved to hear

in this way the alchemy was more

than the creation of porcelain

i was present

then i was absent

i rewrote the words

you loved to hear

in this sense the alchemy was way more

than the creation of porcelain

Available at Amazon

on the very cusp

on the very cusp

of the closing bell sounding

clarity and sense and purpose

reveal themselves to be together

as the basis for continued love

in the presence of awareness
