in a forest of night

as waves counting

her fingertips

roll in and roll out,

as song

the earth cries out

warm.

in my heart

lies a moment

who shall live forever,

a moment that is the life

of a woman

and from tears to smiles

she has walked with me

down the road

that crosses through the

mirror of the universe

and for years she has

talked to me – a warmth in the silence.

it is the wind that,

i skate the river,

her eyes

our tomorrows,

laced in

our sorrows , our dreams,

our whispers, our love.

in my heart,

lies a woman,

who shall live forever…

long night

snow light,

on cold glass lies cold fingers

walking across a dream,

winter skies and whispers –

dawn arrives

in frozen white.

oh christmas tree

whisper to me –

cold mornings

soft light warmings

only in a child’s dream

do you touch the seams,

of every day before tomorrow

in peace, on sighs

whispers, whispers, they wander the skies

oh christmas tree

whisper to me.

i remember a world

i remember the battles,

i now stand aside

in broken stride,

the echoes remain

a stain upon my dreams

for i am no longer

more then i am.

but neither am i a mirror,

nor do i cry

owe me nothing

keep your fear,

yet while i'm alive,

i will live

till all honor is gone.

yes, i ask no more,

and only of myself,

for once

i had learned how to fly.

angels walking as whispers

across my dreams

deep in the chill of

silent lights

reflect through a window

closed tight

barely awake

cross the shadows

finger rhythm – long and silent

we remain – in the silence,

watching our dreams

all on a christmas bleed.

in a late night

moment

you feel the mirror

in the death

you almost walked

alone, so alone.

filled, so filled

if you dare

and taste the wind

the bitter moon wind.

if you dare to breathe

just maybe,

you’ll remember

more

then just the stains
