Rise above the water,
let forgiveness set us free
Our love will be a beacon,
the lighthouse on the sea
"Be obscure clearly." – E B White

Rise above the water,
let forgiveness set us free
Our love will be a beacon,
the lighthouse on the sea

Let’s break bread with the broken,
’cause here’s what I’m hoping,
that our love will be kind and enough…

Plans become planks
we are forced to walk each day
Thankful to be light as a feather,
with the sun on our wings

On the day she said she was proud of him
and no longer wanted to hide their love,
He quit…
because
there were too many other pretty girls

Roses transform,
Waxing Sunflowers.
Doormats dematerialize,
Salty tears extinguish
Muddy Boots.
Eyelet sky is exploiting,
Hope extends, still.
Love saturates this life,
Filling her well…

Raw, pulpy heart,
skinless body ripped away.
Maya of soul’s existence
shed in salty tears.
Compassion and
Forehead Kisses
Comforts of a naked soul
Healing in His embrace

Buried the keys to a past love
beneath the Live Oak,
Noose still hangs on a limb…
Broken Clean.
Knowledge grows
in shades of decomposition…

As he burned their bridge,
Her cremated compassion,
was washed away
When he drowned their love,
She surrendered
to his forceful nature,
Embellished the oceans
with her bioluminescent amber
and golden flecks
As he buried their truth,
within his chest,
Her raining forgiveness
flooded his headstone heart
Time-speckled echoes
in their fault-line canyon,
His and Her Remains
