Process Relinquish

Relinquish 1

tonight, as cool air flows through your window, paving its way across your eye lids and making a path through your curls
as you sleep next to your lover
your dreams will lead you
through corridors I have made which tunnel within the strands of the dying genetic material of each wisp wound close to your head
you will see me through those gateways
you will come to me through the pathways of dreams which are bound to your tresses
I am still knotted up and bound to your crimson sun-kissed locks
fitted to your scent
laced to your words and deeds and experiences
it is of no matter what you desire, you cannot brush me out

Relinquish 2

The expression better to have loved and lost does not suffice
It is in the lost where it resides
The moment when you know that you cannot be there
You cannot have that
You cannot be THE one
But the appreciation of the lost
When you know
What was the better fit
The better glove
The better love
It is ok

It hurts

Burns

Tears

Beats

Until the drum

The rhythm

The significance of that other person in their life

Til you realize

It was HER that made him

Happier

Content

Blessed

(Dare I say) completed

That is it

When you say

That drum
Beat to the right rhythm

And the drummers

The lovers

Are in line

And lost

But not gone

But creating a small rhythm

In your heart that you can dance to

Ode to our sweet pup this-

Haiku for dogs

Muddy, cold, and wet
They care not now I've returned
Tails wag gleefully
