What Shall I Call This Craving?
How many stories and songs have been written
                   hopeless
about the one we long to be with, but
never see it come to light
except in story where we can change the end.
                   And,
for years I had a front row seat to you. And,
for years I was your congregation
that you did not witness.
                   And though, you did not preach to this one,
I did sing to you,
continue to sing to you years after,
                   hoping
somehow to resolve my heart,
why I was your witness,
why I was not allowed to follow.

Aside: Can you sing sweetly, passionate,
without a good voice, find
harmony in words crafted on this lighted page
sent to the world
inside an empty universe
                   pleading
response, true connection?

What is this craving?
Where is an empty container filled?

Amber light peered into mine
the days we sat across, divided by
the Szechuan Parlor table
greeted by cuisine I never dared
until you inspired me try.

What must you have witnessed
to have lingered so far for so long.
What I can only see in photographs
is an image, black and white and hollow
without your touch of Kodachrome.

don't know what the hell I'm doing here
