with a beauty that is most true

with a beauty that is most true
to move the earth
and back again
to count the stars
but not before i’d count you
a friend a friend a friend
can you hear it in my sighs
am i lost in those dreamy eyes
am i close forever near
dreams are such we [...]
hairpin turn of pure light
by tanner brockwell (cc) 2007
hairpin turn of pure light
and such a light
that herald of encompassing
singularly attention fixed
afraid to look and look away
work left unfinished
how could i finish
frantic message
feels like one point eight nine
no no no
the grid the lives
still holding up
holding in
static contact
is returning
returning

could not the waters
by tanner brockwell (cc) 2007
could not the waters
flowing
wash me as i would be washed
memory taken
melting
oblivion waiting
for i have waited
tenderly
with vigor and touch
well sensitive then
the pulse of life
before the pure and timely
writhe
before oblivion
before memory
only the thought sensation
and cries when
the wonder can not be
but borne
carried the currents of time
matched to the lunar phase
the [...]
if i went back
by tanner brockwell (cc) 2007
if i went back
to a long shot dust road
red in the afternoon sun
the engine of the car purrs
doors open forgotten
the dress you wore
printed but faded
you left it once
in the sun to dry
a few weeks
took a toll
it’s not easy
to realize that
even now
baking in the sun
we stand under
forgotten stars
stand [...]
apostate
by tanner brockwell (cc) 2007
apostate
against what were the norms
against slow tide
and winding moon
holding back
holding for something soon
this is not belief
though some would believe
a chance can single out a man
what leader among us
bent and broken
eerily spoken
that forthright words
left the silent sheets
bless me if i sneeze
before wonder plea
this is not ending
this is maps and makers
footsteps to [...]
stranger that you should appear
by tanner brockwell (cc) 2007
stranger that you should appear
in the nebulous ether that we call communication
here and there… before long… a decade
of sudden interruptions
of circumstance
the so long gone and lost chance
if i were meaning more
by no mean feat
a meaner streak
that cruel rolling
of time more time no time
faster you run
faster
the quick
do [...]
did your dreams begin that night
by tanner brockwell (cc) 2007
did your dreams begin that night
when the soft tones basked in light
and all and all the while
gentle caress of smile
my love my love my sweet
when apart i wish we’d meet
and lonely is my day
when you’re not here to stay
so send me words of love
i know [...]
spring rains
by tanner brockwell (cc) 2007
spring rains
and before the fireworks
leading me to some crescendo
a syncopation of sensation
before i arose
in the morning
i remember
the fireworks
crescendo
swelling to fill the sky
i can not control
the celestial say
in a way
i know it
i welcome the blue daze
poured libation
touch me
fire works
the water of life
