Continuum

How often I wonder
Have we sought each other
In some distant time?
What corners of the earth
Have known our longing.
That quiet aching to be whole again?
Forgetting till our paths cross,
Unexpected,
That what was lost
Is ever ours to claim.
In what fantastic forms 
Have we exulted?
What tragedies have cast us
In their roles?
What joys have we
From world to world
Forgotten
That sleep like embers
On the verge of flame?
When one world dies,
Somewhere another quickens,
Where will I wait
Until you come for me
Until a strangers glance, 
A sigh, a whisper shatters the
Solitude that guards our dream,
And echoes softly stir, and we,
Awaked,
Remember love,
And make it live again.
 

 

Shades Of You

Deep in my eyes
You tell me you have seen
The beauties of my world

In shades of green
Of mountain lakes
Long hidden from your sight
Of tender leaves and grass

In April's light
You speak with a
Poet's soul, a lover's voice
But colors, like the heart,
Have little choice

Green cannot live
Apart from gold and blue -
The colors of my love
The shades of you
