I End My Letters, “Thoughts, Prayers, and Heart”

I end my letters, “Thoughts, prayers, and heart”
Because that’s where I keep you now you’re gone
These long and bitter years I’ve been alone.
I have neither the aptitude nor art
To tell you how it feels to be apart
From you, where passion turns to stone,
And all I do is hunger for my home
Across a sea too changeable to chart.
Please remember always that I love you
Though time and distance try to intervene,
And I can hold you only from afar.
I find I can endure my life without you
By treasuring what grace cannot be seen:
The silent wonder simply that you are.

I Love You Just as Though You Were My Own

I love you just as though you were my own,
Though you are not the children of my blood.
Love is not lodged within one’s flesh and bone,
But in one’s heart, which goes which way it would.
I married into you, as into wealth,
Or into some bright mansion, just by chance.
You were not why I came, nor what I felt
That made me give my life to this romance.
Yet once we were a family, out of need,
Love came bubbling up from some sweet spring,
Watering the newly planted seed
That it might in the will of sunlight sing.
So may we long remain through love and art:
Stepparent and stepchildren of the heart.

Valentines Quotes

Goodnight, My Loved One
Goodnight, my loved one. Go to sleep.
Open up your book of dreams.
Outside your soul, the world that seems
Descends to darkness, vast and deep.
Now may all your devils dance
Incarnate in your midnight sun,
Gods made flesh in worlds your own,
Having each its sunlit chance
That you might wake at peace and whole.

Deep Beneath Angela’s Smile

Deep beneath Angela’s smile
There lies a fertile midden
Of hopes and dreams and thoughts and signs,
Both oft expressed and hidden.

An adventurer in meaning,
A detective fighting time;
A shard of Earth’s bright promise,
A glint, a gleam, a chime.

Dear Son, I Cannot Speak

Dear son, I cannot speak, and yet
I have so much to say to you,
Too much for time and will to net.
Life goes with just this last adieu.

I have so much to say to you,
Far more than I can now convey.
Life goes with just this last adieu
To serve as what I want to say.

Far more than I can now convey,
I love you with a love that yearns
To serve as what I want to say,
Ablaze with joy that bleeds and burns.

I love you with a love that yearns
Too much for time and will to net.
Ablaze with joy that bleeds and burns,
Dear son, I cannot speak, and yet . . .
