Your beauty a blaze from within.

the first time we saw
her was last fall
she was standing
in a patch of grass
...
i got carried away
cleaning winter dust
out of my front porch
& threw my back out
...
Amidst the dull maize sunset
and the chill of soon to come night.
I wait for darkness to descend, a welcome friend.
My muse rises from depths, a whisper
...
After a long day on the steering
end of her old canoe, when the
only light shimmering on the lake
was the vanilla moon of late July.
...
One night while playing
a game in pogo
in a moment of weakness
I actually chatted
...
Nearly reached your hand this time;
I know if you’re there,
it has to be a good place.
If we’d touched,

Memories of you enfold me
through the chill of lonely nights.
Every tiny bud has the right
to bloom.

There's a pain I live with
that's gently wrapped
itself around my heart
woven into every fiber of my being.

Something about the intensity

I've been writing since I was a teen. However I have only been writing poetry about six years. I was raised near Boundary Waters in Minnesota, and some say I love trees more than people.
