AN INTERROGATION OF THE "REAL" IN ALL ITS GUISES

crossings

at our meeting
the vision of you 
swept me away
and i will never 
live as much 
as in that  
moment 

how intensely the 
sky burns above us 
how the 
burning the stars 
and the premonition of
destinies touching 

here beside the quiet tree 
i wait for your 
streaming eyes 
oh darling vision 
memory's shimmering 
reflection

a moment to share (lament)

a moment to share the
dazzling beauty of earth
traces of the sublime in
your eyes
please just a moment from
busy days and lists of tasks
eternity in some time
together
it's too much to ask on
days like these
days i walk through trees and
flowering fields
while the promise of summer
storms pushes wind through my
long hair and around 
blue eyes
scent of wildflowers in 
nostrils hungry for something 
real and fresh
why are we at such odds?
has complacency replaced the
ever-present moment?
will you chase a list into the
grave?
time will see us out the
flashing frame of life
but can it be together?
