“Look for me” she said And I turned by the way to stare at grey clouds Covering a weak winter sun Feeling the skin of stone I hide within begin The crazed crack that would leave me bared To the jealousy of being touched by winding currents The wind sinned in its own way Stealing the warmth of naked summer and turning it cold Without the repentance of prayer or the penitence of beads To save it from being damned Yet it touches you And I find my fingers reaching along the strands of its passing To try and feel how it must be when in the touch of cheek It brings a flush to pale skin I search still the smoke of cold nights Looking for the shadows of her there Adrift I suppose Upon an edge of R.E.M dreams That leaves within the pit of gut the empty hole Too large for my own hands to close And I bleed the night sky Empty of stars Holding onto the frayed strings that come From the unweave of cloth To stand bare this way But for the shadows I own And they too Gaze towards the sound of her Leaving those parting words “Look for me” she said and I fixed the depths of my eyes to hers “I always have “ So come pirouette with falling leaves And bow to smell the acrid oak as it runs sap From fresh sawn trunk In wait and cure for a winter’s fire where I will stare Empty flames Thinking always of how it is to hear your name To have tasted the sheen upon your brow As you lay beneath the thrust of thoughts An arch to give succor to the hardness within And sighed…… “Look at me” and dream |

I search still the smoke of cold nights Looking for the shadows of her there Adrift I suppose Upon an edge of R.E.M dreams That leaves within the pit of gut the empty hole Too large for my own hands to close And I bleed the night sky Empty of stars Holding onto the frayed strings that come From the unweave of cloth To stand bare this way These November eyes were moist as they read... This truly is incredible, dear Capt. |
