slow to boil
quick to stir
an unfinished pearl
in an hourglass
ready to be sculpted
two cloves
with no ham to flavor
graceful sunlight
with no globe to enlighten
air too sweet
for such a radioactive day's retreat
yet you are still here
laughing in my heart
holding my love in the palm of your soul
making me feel more special than I deserve
one cool winter less night
you will remember me
and miss me more
more than you could possibly know
just as I miss you now
trust this revelation
one breath's own most labored taking
graphic can be so beautiful
in a space less place
where no artificial end awaits us
ah but
sweet tide of perfect patience
carry me gently
along such swift current
of this offered human experience
that sometimes feels
like its going on without you
forever
though it is of no real matter
as most days
whether here or there
or anywhere
I can feel you
as you are
of myself
just what is missing
one of my most beautiful parts
my unconditional love........
