If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I have opened so many doors
For others to walk through;
I have loved so often and well;
I have forgiven so many times
That the leafy shreds I use
To bind my wounds are worn as well and
Sigh for my deliverance.
Love, deliver me [...]

My lover used to come to me
In my dreams and
Wrap herself around me
Like the mist curls around the cattails
On the edge of a pond.
She would lift me and
We would float together
On our dreams,
Entwining as lovers do,
Lifted above the worlds of impossibility.
My lover used to come to me
In my dreams and
Lay her head on my [...]

Discovery
I am always looking for you.
Is there Grand Central Station in Limbo?
If so, I am standing in it.
I am always looking for you.
I thought I glimpsed you a couple of weeks ago.
But I dismissed it.
I want to see you so much, I just thought
I saw you everywhere.
Then last week, I was sure [...]

Archipelago II
The islands of the Aegean Archipelago
Were scattered like the islands in
Her memory of Helen.

Shared, then lost, the most populated with memories.
Then on to the most craggy of the lot:
Rough spots, cliff-hangers, if you will–
Some that had left them dangling by a fraying rope,
Some whose views from the [...]

Archipelago III
Islands keep appearing.
Some slowly,
Some jutting up abruptly,
Some playing Hide and Seek
Like my dream lover.
She appears, she disappears,
She is angry, hurt,
Sometimes consoling,
But always indignant,
Justified, always right, and
Alone.
Alone is the largest island:
Safe, a fortress against feeling,
Like Jonah in the Whale.
The islands that jut up in this
Sea of Consciousness are
Small but potent:
The most rugged islands [...]

Archipelago IV
These islands are my own;
Still they are uncharted as yet.
The first crude maps gave only
An imperfect representation,
Like an old sheet of Polaroid film
Whose development had stopped
Somewhere in the process
Leaving only a suggestion of
What was there.
The later maps got the distances correct:
4,776 miles to London;
4,508 miles to Glasgow.
But from which island?
The largest [...]
