Room
how I remember the laugh
announcing your presence
a whole day transformed
by the mystery of you
we basked in your theater
and joined in your song
until moon’s hidden sadness
eclipsed your bright sun
and we left in darkness
cried out for the starlight
so desperate to find
any memory of you
Luscious
so soft the skin
around her eyes
that frames a gaze
of promised hope
heart’s joy leaps
at unspoken truth
that stole my heart
to luscious ruin
Class
we spend days, perhaps years
in climbing the mountain
seeking guru’d truth
to dispel the soul’s dark
yet find teacher’s wisdom
already within us
the heart asking simply:
our response to this pain?
