It was through the gate
of ceaseless venture
where we first met
on that fate and timeless night
You,
from your land of dawning
where saints of roses nestle
betwixt the harborage of bays mist
and unheard grapevines,
that meet the sea
Let us engage
among the winds
of ‘morrows kiss
where thickets of conceivings
wallow through
sweet dreams of everlast
Come with me my dear
and flame my wick
of candles night
you, my lost wind
of deathless eyes,
you,
my muse of heavens
creaking gate
Share with me our
bite of hope
as I slowly
lick the wounds
of your past
and heal
of always
your days to be
Spread your light
upon
river’s mouth
and hold
firm veins
within your
open and
shadowed glory
Satiate
your rich longing
as I criss cross
gushing landscapes
burrowing
into those secret
sounds
and untying
the skintight knot
of solitude
You are the song
and plants and waves,
of shouts and foam
And broken statues
of burnt water
And yet,
if,
you still
can not
see between the
fondness
that you hold
so entirely
listen to the voice
inside
your heart
will somehow,
let you know
And so,
please,
don’t read
into my words
or pages filled
of light,
anything
except for you,
the endless love
I have,
this night
