Anchor in My Heart

Eyes like two comets

hands like an anchor in my heart

oh to be drifting

like a drunken flower beast

beating my wings against the comforting breeze

Do you see me now?

are you piercing through the night

with a thousand glittering eyes

or a moon shadow watering the ground

Your heart the tangled forest

damp and swollen, nearly bursting

speak to me again my love

breathe yourself into my heart

let me rest my head on your shores

PS. I miss you

BLACK PLASTIC AND IRON BONES

Yesterday, while going through an old box, I found this scribbled on a piece of paper. It made me smile as I could feel the tears forming.  I wrote this upon receiving the box with your ashes.

11 YEARS LATER

Look over your shoulder 

I will be there

Feel the wind in your face

Hold my hand with your smile

The road is ahead

though I can’t see the end

I know you will wait
