Love to Nowhere    Unparticular


No one else but you and me
on a dappled path to nowhere   unparticular
walking just walking along a strand
a boardwalk sticky with saltwater and bubblegum
broken fences for the wind then settle down
our backs against a slab of white cement
dripping with iceplant

To reach into the furthest part of you
to place my love like a secret there
and finding the kept hidden
treasure of your most delicate thought
to bring it slowly slowly into the light

Surrounded by the glare of sandy beach
and the prints the tide left
along with the glistening hair of seaweed
where the smash of waves has turned away

No one else but you and me and this one small thing

time

You do count the good moments,
and wrap them in silver sheen...

To be the only two people in the world for even a moment... those are the times we live for... even if we only know them in dreams. Excellent write!

"so weeps the minute until in certain time backwards
a leaf from ground twirls softly back to air"

Such walks happen, if you want them to. Hope is a verb, you know....it denotes action. Memory's only a noun.

===============================

and that my dear... is exactly what your poetry does... you bring so much into the light...and you do it with such a grace and gift of words.

Through the water ... through the rain ... to the soul of everything
Wash my heart out on the stones ... and I'm almost gone.
