Measure of Silence

"Oui" said the mate,
"your wish is upon my touch"
drooping hat upon his cheek
saying so
"you are learning to command"
but there it is past
until you speak.
*
A prod , a touch
asking for kisses
and walking out
into the night
alone
giving into bold or boast
upon the wish of joining me
*
the night stares into the break
that turns into the hailing saints, and gods
goddesses,
holy grail,
but for a hint
of home
*
the spear delivered
upon my breast
lingered to
dispute
time
*
the paints kept clear
and unsoiled
dried
as if to
become wisdom
*
this is the task
the spirit comes to daub
try you
try to understand
what wears well upon your hand
or upon your wearied mind
*
till now
my eyes have been full of sea
my heart locked upon the test that would come
the rest that would soothe
*
as I wondered
the day went by
towing through
promise
of fresh delight
*
Bright green were her eyes
cast upon his being
at last upon love
at last upon time
*
a woman is lost
or a woman is found
beheld upon the morning's ground
of hasty beckoning
to rescue a heart pounding
*
what more is there beyond
the shadow of hope
that gleans long
in the garden of
sorrow?
*
what more is there beyond
the kiss
that says goodbye
tonight
your wish and will
must be cast upon a star
*
back into the darkness
she cried
and silver passage
turned
nothingness
into time
and
into silence.
