leaf boats (in the rain)
storms
of dark and rain
words sail
their hope, lost
among your words
and drifting hours
the rain allows the light to dry
this rivulet of tears
forever now
finding you cradled
in my hearts sentence
in a searching closeness
nearer than our pressed lips
are near
as we into flotsam run
two children with sticks
sending leaf boats drifting
in to gutters
of rain puddles
your laughter follows me
in small silences
between the dark
and thunder
of homeless earth worms
without possessions
dispossessed
in the oceans destination
where you bind no tomorrows
and yet
how young your eyes
in their dalliance of stars
with each moments gift of birth
you part the clouds
their horizon is a sun rise
wandering with me through the lonely streets
(in the morning less empty)
cherished as if my arms could hold
such circles in their dream
of storms
of dark and rain
words sail
their hope, lost
among your words
and drifting hours
the rain allows the light to dry
this rivulet of tears
forever now
finding you cradled
in my hearts sentence
in a searching closeness
nearer than our pressed lips
are near
as we into flotsam run
two children with sticks
sending leaf boats drifting
in to gutters
of rain puddles
your laughter follows me
in small silences
between the dark
and thunder
of homeless earth worms
without possessions
dispossessed
in the oceans destination
where you bind no tomorrows
and yet
how young your eyes
in their dalliance of stars
with each moments gift of birth
you part the clouds
their horizon is a sun rise
wandering with me through the lonely streets
(in the morning less empty)
cherished as if my arms could hold
such circles in their dream
of storms
