oh Polaris, supposed guide of all those who wander in the night. how many years have I blindly followed you? no longer I believe the tales of sailors finding safe havens through your light. missing rocky shoals blessed by your providence. I am lost in the countof endless nights following you till dawn. in that vain search for her your guidance is folly and I shall follow you no more. 

the winter is eternal nowand I suffer no delusions it shall endI no longer care if the rivereven flows beneath its icy tombor if the grass still lay dormantencased within the frostbut I still remember the warmthhow it nurtured mesustained meproviding all my needslast night I dreamt of a summers dayone thought would never endyet it has forever setmy ignorancekilled the sun itselfand I've no desire to liveunder another

Tonight, I called you across the darkness. Could you hear my voice? Drifting over the valley,floating along the river,in search of you? Can you feel the presenceof my thoughts? They seek to entwine with yoursand fold around you. As would my arms,if only you were here. I shall fend off sleep once again,so that we may be together before the light invades. And separates us once again.

performing their dance atop the mission range. ever shifting, ever changing, in swirls of colors like phantoms in the night.reaching farther and farther, as if to capture the stars. as I would reach for you. their ghost like fingers clawing at the night. stretching into infinity as they fade into the darkness. as I fade away from you.

last night I lit the candle, the one that you sent me. as I inhaled its fragrance I was drawn by the soft light to where you were waiting within the flame. yet you did not burn for you were the source of all light there. cautiously I reached out to touch your face and saw your smile dancing within your eyes. it was then I felt your arms wrapping around me. pulling me in to you where I felt our hearts racing in time. an em...

when you did not return all the Flathead recoiled in horror its glacier formed valleys could not bear the pain that radiates from this point icy fingers grasping across the winter range shattering rock and tree the elk herds left for there is no grass left to feed on the river itself speeds up as it passes as not to absorb a single poison tear that lines the shore like the ice that carved all this  I retreat for there is...

How it cared for usnurtured us Then turned us overto the moonWill you hold that?or lose it? As I must now lose you The will come a day you will stand atopand the mountain itself will squeeze a tear.Will you know why?Will you call to the sun?The Moon?Perhaps you'll screamas I...

My soul forever etched the night we metthe two of us entwined as oneNaked in Mississippi moonlightto this day, the forefront of my thoughts One of those instants in time I would sell my soul to return I can clearly see the visionmy white and blemished skinreflecting the night sky against your ebony perfection Tonight, I recall searching each inchfor a hint of a flaw and finding noneLike the night itselfpassion so hotso en...

Each nightI watch you struggle in your sleep.And I sit in the darkness,helpless. Consumed with memoriesof our love past.Days we'd find anywherewe could lay naked together. Passion, pleasure, lust and love.Before the sickness, this disease.Our physical love ripped away.A decade of sensual explorationknowing every inch of each others ecstasy.Now gone forever. In darkness, eyes closedby heart my hands knowevery spot to drive...

The stillness of the night air surrounds me,and its weight is almost unbearable.From my perch, sheltered amongstthe cliffs, I can hear the mountain breathe. From within the rocks above me,I can feel the unseen eyes of creatures unknown. Their penetrating stare; a gaze that does not blink. And they wonder why I am here…alone. In the heavens, high above the earth,clouds of the milky way captivate me like the eerie light it...

Last night I walked alone, long the banks of the Kootenai. Where the moonlight gently dances, upon the waters edge. Within the shimmering of each reflection, I see only images of you. On the cool mountain breeze, I feel the soft touch  of your hand upon my face. Through the stands of whispering pines, I hear only your soft voice. Reminding me, how far away you are,  yet so very close. Like the river canyon itself, you've...

Lying still in the darkness I feel your presence. Reaching into the night. Your arms open, longing to embrace me. Sensing your thoughts, I turn to you. Where you’re waiting, in the forefront of my mind. In a vision, you lie next to me. Staring up into the moonless sky, consumed by the stars. Limbs entwined, we float amidst the heavens.The winds our bed,clouds our pillows. Endlessly we drift naked across the void. Enraptur...

The Montana night is  cruel and you are no  where near  to protect me  from its silence. It stabs  the essence  of my soul,  wresting me  from my sleep. Shattering  your image,  robbing me  of holding you  even in my dreams. Beside me  the sheets lay  undisturbed. If only you  were there. Guarding me,  sheltering me, protecting me,  from the total  blackness. Only there in your arms will I find sleep.
