      Lover’s Relief


      I am in love with what’s

      out of reach
      the shadow of a cloud 
      the man in the moon
      my unlived lives
      the fantasy of peace
      life passes by like a slippery dream 
      searching for stillness in my heart
      wondering how to not say 
      what I shouldn’t say too soon 
      shall I stretch my comfort zone 
      or is the zone stretching me?
      I live a hair’s-breadth away from tears 
      pain and grief crawl under my skin 
      reminding me of unresolved fears
      my lover brings calm
      her tender touch and caress
      open my heart to where truth has fled 
      my soul takes a breath
      relieved of distress
