INTANGIBLE
intangible,
like God, heaven
and the meaning of life
ultimately-
but to us, the motion of the wheel of time
brings it back to earth.
intangible
like feelings felt and factorised
unclear, but seen and realised
in the aspect of your eyes.
intangible
like an unfinished thought
in a cloud of smoke,
like oxygen
invisible,
like laughter
when you tell a joke,
or the sound
of a musical note-
and the lilt in the tone of your voice.
intangible
like life and love
in a bowl of hope,
or your scent
on some words you wrote
in a book set down-
in lucid language
that unfolds like a film in my mind;
intangible
like a warm wind stroking skin
real, beyond imagining.
SEPARATE PIECES
follow me
down the fathoms
of forgiveness
like ghosts
who heal and hope-
to that room
in the mind
where contentment
resonates
with longing
for love to fill
its vacant chair
and meld it to us both.
i can't go on
like separate pieces,
that move around each other
but never touch
in their courtship
on the board-
and yet,
so many things
you say and do,
won't go away
and fill me still,
with points of possibility
as the Great Wheel of Time
revolves
in harmony and confusion.
conscious moments,
call out
to chance and circumstance
and weave away in dreams-
orchestrating
opening gambits,
to suture sensual seams.
two hands touch
and influence fate
as they move around the squares;
time curves,
then unmeasures words-
and their endless game goes on.
