Dark Daffodils

Dark Daffodils

are shutting the door

to say goodbye

forever more

to darkness

from far away

I hear the call

you are the one

my wonder all

consuming, distracting,

enveloping

I dust my shelves

my books I straighten

My clothes I fold

I am not mistaken

the place where I feel you

lies in the center of my being

by inspiration, I am caught cleaning

To call you forth

to conjure you to me

For ever more, as always

yours

Time dilates, I radiate

I walk about, without a doubt

I'm over here, you're under there

Love is a concept, I breath and stare

at springs renewal

the birds song

of southern cold winds

your head rings

I am waiting, still waiting

For you

I cannot say goodbye

I cannot stop this

I swim in the ocean of your essence

I am helplessly lost, imagining your lips

forever more, as always

yours

This bliss is painfully close to the matter

This call is like madness, to love, not to spatter

to trust what's in front

not plan

not falter

our guides tell us it matters

to climb the ladder

for love

cross the oceans

for love

clean the mess, do your taxes, make the bed

for love

for ever more, as always

yours.
