bird of paradise flower

forever love

I know
you are
your own forever love

here
take your hand

those gentle fingers
I've seen open
like a flower in bloom

when your heart is full
and your soul stops reaching
for scattered roses
in the road

do I
need to say
that the sun will not rise each day
without your eyes

and that your every step
is a dance

your feet following each other
forever
in love

prayer

you are welcome
to touch

the invisible
light

that
reaches towards you
from my hand

do you feel it
flowing

it is the color you see
when you close
your eyelids

a whisper
across the night

my waves breaking
on the edge

of
that space inside you
that has no name
