Standing on the Cliff

October 5, 2015 by Dale Leave a Comment

Standing on a Cliff a boundary against oblivion blue pulls me away from the gold of your heart. Standing on a Ledge time opens like earthquake a chasm to infinity seconds away from your heart. Standing on the Edge the earth disintegrates beneath me bedrock turns to sand clinging, falling away from your heart. In…

September 27, 2015 by Dale 13 Comments

We walk the trails side by side Smell the moisture slip from leaves Our love grows strong hand in hand. The light dips behind the trees A steely equinox catches the sun Turns the season upon the earth. Veins pull  blood from extremities Suck it back into the trunks Life girds itself for winter’s bite….

Iron Shore

September 23, 2015 by Dale 2 Comments

Iron Shore

Water rushes at my back Pressing grains through the glass Tides pull at my youth Washing memory from my eyes A basin of sea laps the sand An ocean of love carves this earth Streams score the dunes My red life returns I am an island resting upon your breasts Crimson melting into azure Eons…

Destination Love

September 22, 2015 by Dale 5 Comments

We travel the boardwalk A seabreeze caught hand in hand Write our love in the sand With permanent chalk. We travel life’s bridge To the drum of our feet Our hearts resonate with each beat A future nears across the ridge. We travel the blue sky above Cut the clouds from the light Pack them…
