karen june volume two


(no longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from – jewel)

 

languishing in language of love

the stars above spangles on gloves

God wears upon majestic hands

where i am making a last stand

 

the purpose of all poetry

chronicle beauty’s history

poetry excels in details

of your touch that reads me like braille

 

God’s taste for grace consumes your face

His final words, “love’s not a race”

linger with intertwined fingers

duets require two singers

 

but there’s no harm evoking charm

by taking her within your arms

and telling her when we began

all these pillows and afghans

 

were still in stores, our barren floors

had everything that i cared for

i had you i had it all

no picture frame can quite recall

 

the images of things replaced

still here with you is saving grace

i started with eternal bliss

that’s only found in your sweet kiss

i still have you i have it all

saying, “here!” at Heaven’s roll call
