And who is to say
That if you had endured
A moment longer,
That I in
Your final presence,
Could have endured,
The moment of your leaving.

My Love Said to My Love
My love
said to my love
I am here.
Be with me,
and fan the flames
of true existence.
To Be a Part or Apart
Dream-verse
Late at night
When the
7 silver stars
Gyrate across
The midnight sky;
Quelling sister’s
Great despair
I by soft white light
Of virgin moon
And 100 stringed
And glowing stars
lie sleeping,
sailing,
eyes closed
in eternal stare,
And you whisper
Sweetly, gently,
In my ear,
Cathartic words
Of love,
and selves repair.
The Land
The land was distant
and unknown.
Fathers had spoken of it often,
but back then we simply
couldnt have known
that
there was no becoming then.
We were not ripe,
We we were not grown.
Years past
we laboured
and it remained
a sepia coloured
picture slightly stained.
A place far away
and vast;
A place away,
A place unknown,
A place of peace,
And just a dream,
a single digit out of grasp.
A place trees,
of dancing leaves,
of stone,
of flowing streams;
A place of sunlight
set in midday dreams,
that quiet white blankets
covered on distant winter eves.
As generations grew
to men and women,
as did the strifes and labours too,
with loss and fear,
And costly prices paid
the children died,
the children grew.
Yet with many long and distant
journeys,
coursing back and forth,
sometimes with the many,
sometimes one alone,
The father’s dream in time
became,
the children’s
father’s home.
Verse From a Dream State
Some abide
in the metaphysical
clouds above,
Some in the levels
below.
The questions are
How low ?
And
Which direction are
We going?
How do we know ?
It’s a question of Love.
How well are you loving?
A Letter to the Other Side

Ted’s Cafe
There was a street cafe
Of love,
Where once a virgin met
Experienced lover.
Where a husband yearned
For yet another,
Where a fiancé second guessed a marriage.
Where an older man
Ached for a younger lover,
And played juke boxes
Of different songs,
Many times
With coffee cups of different sighs,
And glistening eyes.
All three hearts and minds
mourned in different ways ,
at different times,
the fact that their love
Had died
In that street cafe of love called Ted’s.
Did you Hear ?
Did you hear
Leonard Cohen died
His family, and his lovers
by his side.
Did you hear
Leonard Cohen died.
The music and the words won’t be quite
so gravelly
deep.
Did you hear
Leonard Cohen died.
Won’t be long before Irving and Abraham
Are by his side.
Did you hear
Leonard Cohen died,
Discarded mask
And costume that he wore,
To slip behind a curtain.
Did you hear
Leonard Cohen died.
A village and a nation sighed.
Did you hear
That last
First
soft breath open:
Go by brooks love
Where fish stare,
Go by brooks love
I will pass there.
Autumn Light
Autumn
Brings grey
clouds
Cool evenings
And a
golden light
Lessened and
Fading quickly
