Divine Things (knowing you are in this world)

how
was it?
everything
was silent
quiet.

then you
fell off that
cloud
there was a loud
"thump"
when you
hit the ground.

so we'll play
on some place
reserved for
the divine
a song
inside a
song
to repeat
and refine.

so we'll clutch blankets
against the chill
walk up to the top
to watch the moon
over the hill
where once the fiery
sky
passed into the deep sea of memory
like water
air
like earth colored
eyes that link
us.

the fire in your eyes
sets into the evening moon
you couldn't describe
or like the first time
you remembered my name
in sleep as I dreamed
you remembered my name
losing track of
all space
and time.

Darling, you don't ever have to be afraid (we could be ghosts)

I could give in
but its a trap
the jaws snap shut
clap closed
but
is beautiful anyway
anyway
and anyway
way over the day
its rainbows
and emeralds
and skies
bluer than
sapphires
with our hearts
like candy-colored
coach rides
into dreams
reflected
in the clouds
I'm from...


(smoking cigars on the back porch
chairs creaking dreams leaking
into the sky full of streaming
skies now are open
my heart is hoping
will I be everything
or be unspoken
the windows
are washing down
the coral
is twirling like
a whore
visibly lost
like a corpse
without a name
(did I mention I see you when I want to?
What on earth do you think I am standing here for now?)
you can be the hero to swoop in
at the last minute
because you have to
the cape fits
nothing sits quite
like the featherless angel
that you are.
Nothing is quite the
same shade of silver
saviour of animals
aflight on a glimmer
as the stars are
when we kiss
like the pain
that erupts when
I am missing you.
