Sleep In You

If I could sleep inside your body
On a long cold night
To find your dream
You would awaken
To live it

Heart-shaped

A heart-shaped glass half-full

Repair

After the storm
We repaired the sails
Swabbed the deck
And unbarreled the limes and oranges
With a new name
And destination
We set out for the New World
Penitent and hopeful

Damn Expectations

I expected to be noticed, I thought I would be moved
Further from neglect, perhaps close to being used

The Lie

If white unknown from the tongue
As a dove
Flies
And is regretted in release

Please

Please bear in mind
That I love you
And all that you are
Even when I hate
Those few small things
For the moment

Moon

Upon the path
To kiss the sun
I saw her light
And came undone
And as the dusk
Behind her came
I followed close
And screamed her name
But turning not
Her form did fade
Into the night and shade
