Midnight Clarity Poems

How long is too long?
A minute more without you
will stretch to eons in my heart
I have not met you yet
...

I've never met you
yet I miss you,
miss the feel, the touch
the sense of you;
...

Heat is heavy with moisture
weighing down the grass,
the tendrils of my hair
wet and wayward from
...

soup simmers om the stove
arpeggios of garlic harmonize with sage
with the counterpoint
of coriander calling out for salsa
...

A gleaming cloud
all framed in silver
will introduce
the lady moon
...

Should I be grateful
that you hurt me?
Carved me back and forth,
left me in tatters
...

I wept.
A strange word that,
it looks so odd there
on the paper, no sense
...

words are dust
across the mirror
swirls of rainbow shadows
buried in the ice cream of my soul
...

I touched a soul or two
along the way
trying not to bruise them
as I smiled and waved
...

I saw you a moment ago
lost between my lashes
at the corner of my eye
I saw you, I knew you,
...
