"The Moon Pours Down"

"The Moon Pours Down"

'It was a train that took me away from here/but a train can't take you home.' ---Tom Waits

A Muse taught me 

that there are

many kinds of love.

It is special

when you finally 

make a connection.

To be

with someone

who understands.

When silences

are read as

important as words.

I am tentative

when we dance too close

I break away.

But she understands

and knows what

I am going to say before I say it.

It is like

"Welcome Home"

to a place you've never been.

Each of us

wounded make 

each other whole again.

I want to watch

an old movie on TV

cuddled on the sofa.

It is a long walk

she says...

I say, "Hurry."
