Searching for Moonbeams
Searching for moonbeams
while
climbing endless stairs
up
to open aired rooftops
where inhaling deep breaths
becomes romantic
in some mysterious way.
Pulled towards an irresistible shining
light warming an inner comfort
by gazing
captivated
in your silhouette
against
folding stars.

Searching
I fall
brighter than ever
and burning faster than a blink
is able to miss
to listening laughter
&
love
in the space between
.*.
Witness
to the unplugging cork
of thought
and steadfast tree spirits
flowing out,
trying to catch a simple second
of passing eyes and
glancing happenstance
where butterflies linger
And sweet nectar flows.
* . * . *
Yesterday was the longest
day of my life
and possibly
my first,
for everything
is meaningful
as it gets later,
and later on
I cannot sleep.
for another yesterday
with you.
