THE COLORED LIGHT OF WHERE YOU ARE

Frank my Love,
If I should die tonight, I'll see you
in the borderlands
of Now and Then
of Once and Again.

Mystify me, Love
with ovals of colored light,
never seen in the daylight of this world;
Offer me with your slender-fingered open palm,
the swimming grace
of the ocean you now see
that I can not,
and I will gift
the empty chalice of unawakened love
that could not find us in the proper frame
of time or miles unfurled
and I will lift
up high to you the memory of
the gasp and sigh of touch and dreams
where a promise is as fragile as blown glass
and every thing is truly as it seems.

About this poem:

Dear Frank, impossibly beautiful poet, and my friend of the heart, dying unexpectedly, as was your always surprising ways, Aug 12, ~I miss you like the sullen empty sky must miss the gleaming stars awash the night... Wherever you are, I'm sure you must be outshining the rest...And wherever you are, I feel you drifting the corridors of our endless connected hearts.

Dear Love, Dear Love. Dear Love.

Frank my Love,
If I should die tonight, I'll see you
in the borderlands
of Now and Then
of Once and Again.

This is such a beautiful though poignant poem about a man you cared so deeply about..People like Frank..may be gone..but they will never be forgotton.
