Glückwünsche

Christina and Michael

today they've been married

today i heard a song along the shore

the sound of winds and laughter

today my friend called me on his phone

included in the gathering

i smiled to think

could hear and see her face

the thick air to gently sway the fabric

a sun and spots of cloud

today they were married

today the force of dancing and singing

energy friends

and love

the sky unfolded

a clasp of hands

to kiss in the glinting breezes

the lines

purple

some orange
take flight quickly into risen cloud

blind my earthly eye


-Lahmadaj

in the shadow

the lines are smooth and soft

the ground is cool

tilted grass and crushed seed

the lover's hand

proud to be

green cloud and run water

the long stretch of mindlessness

a freedom and dancing

-Lahmadaj

breathe

air cold and liquid
frothing between eyes and lashes
against the folds of parchment
the slow draw of ink
and the smash of sea

tilt back the glaze
bring new love
reach behind the turning sand
and escape into silence

disappearing clouds burn slow in the evening

it feels so good



-Lahmadaj
