like the rain
I will moisten
your soil
to help your love
to grow
other writing
a fresh dawn
the steady fall
of rain
all night long
to wash away
the day before
and awake
old world
to a fresh dawn
reasonable claims
outside my window
the sun rises
over the hills
the metro comes goes
carrying those inside
to and fro
while I wait
here inside
for the one
who will lay
reasonable claims
on my heart
arms ache
for you
my arms
ache
unspoken love
images float
nightly
in around
the air
of you
always you
my unspoken
love
all that is left
half completed
sentences
all that is left
of my love
rain of tears
words spoken
left out
in the rain
of tears
dissolve
my thoughts
as clouds drift
over the hills
so go my thoughts
colors: for Vessy Gekova
blue crows ride a white wind
calling out names
of green humans here
of yellow humans there
as the earth runs red
under a violet sky
and oranges sail home
over the indigo sea
from a Ray Charles song
unable to say
what is in
the heart
for words
spoken
may chase
away
the object
of affection
