That someone would hold me
at the end of each day
I pray this
boldly
Embrace

These words owe no one. Nothing.
They owe nothing but loyalty to my truth.
Still a dreamer
Over the rainbow and all that
That soul to soul meeting
Love to the marrow
Place of spirit flight
Tasting and digesting
Centers
Beyond my reach
She’s out there somewhere
Her dancing rhythm’s
Dreaming dancing color
We danced side by side
Shape shifting magic real
Beyond my reach
She taught me
Skin to skin embracing
Soul to soul
I loved her then
And love her still
To eternity and beyond
She’s out there
Across the giant pond
Beyond my reach
For JCH
We’re still alive
Now here we go
Rim-shot shuckle-sloop
Off sleeping down
Razor blade highways
Shingle shack cigars
Puffing clouds on corners
In the haloed shade
Her slip-sliding hips
Move me into motion
Hair tossing thinking
Don’t stop now
We’re still alive
*
Sister sister I hear
You singing dreams
Heaven sent rhythms
Shuckle-jiving placing
Hands against hearts
Your smile bedewing
My smiling eyes
Skipping ‘cross sidewalks
Past honky-tonks
Gleaming midnight dreams
You move me thinking
Don’t stop now
We’re still alive
*
Sweet deep sister voice
Moving soul-silk earth-deep
Pulsing muscles move
Dancing joy’s hearts
Yes yes yes
We’re still alive
*
For E.D. with love and respect
On a distant floor
Seen her sweat shuffle moves down Main Street way sending
Smiles warm blasting hearts dizzy buckling knees she strides on
Seen her in the car just passing head spins sideways catching rainbows
Glancing sunlight ricochets off her eyes for me she drives on
Seen her skirt swirl as she turns dancing free of worries
On a distant floor in the world no more she moves on
Last night smiling in all the best made dreams
I woke up in the chill cold still of morning
No lights on
