Do you know that place between
being awake and asleep
where you still remember dreaming?
That's where we can always find
each other
and our love
waiting

What if I were to tell you
in one impossible fleeting moment
in our embrace
I knew your life complete
as you would mine?
Every thought
every memory
every pain
every joy
every failure
every triumph
while the world
went quiet around us
silent
as we were flung
fearless
to the far end of
a timeless
universe

Perhaps I will never fully understand
the physics of love
Only that
Love will always be
you and me
together
times
the speed of light
squared

I Want To Be With Her

I want to be with her
who knows secret things
secrets that hang precariously like drops
of honey from her lips
falling through space and
ringing like tiny bells that only
she
can
hear


I want to be with her
who splits the sea breezes
with excited horses
and waves lapping the soothed sand
as
I savor the saltwater
off her skin
inch
by
inch


I want to be with her
as the universe awakens
electric
where you are the first morning
and nothing in the world
is
usual
today
