Bravery only comes
If you let it be
With love
Made with love
Bounce not break
Springing into life again
Just in time for equinox
Monarch adapted so wonderfully
So can I
Make friends with love
From the sun and moon
Wind and snow
Sunset afternoons
Her gaze will always come again
Through my mirror
Onto my pillow
To wake me warmly
And say
You are loved
Hear me
What is it like
To love another
like you?
To let their name
linger longer on lips
cited and recited
Incantation
To close your eyes
see lightness pervade
cut through blackness
Meditation
To draw the lines
around your face
as smiles evade
a knowing gaze
Repartee
To lie in wait
until the day
catch a ride
see a face
Resignation
To know the same
happens every day
some place and time
yet never again
like them.
To know what is meant
when they say
love is love is love...
Fragile
Admiring beauty
From afar
These empty vessels
Won't hold warmth
Nor bear handling
Forgive accidental
Fall from grace
Tiniest touch
Out of place
All seeing
Though clearly
Conversations
Simmer gently
Hands clasped
In dainty laps
Licking jelly slice
From fingers
Longing gentrified
Special ones
Reserved for whom?
Opening
Colour by number
A volume of work
She who has kept
Quietly
All the secrets
Denying any
Locked up inside
Things never said
Admittedly
Let me wonder
Turning over
Every leaf
Adorning answers
Oft agreed
Rarely seen
Timeless wander
Speak native tongue
Lamp burns brighter
Windows dimmer
Tides higher
Carry me
To sleep
Remember me?
Do you see what I see?
Force of nature
Swaying gentle breeze
Allay your fears
Rest, at ease
Sunbeating spine tingling
Fancy free
With me
Love like
Reflections Light disperses around Casting dancing shadows Until the sun hides Shapes erase Gentle budding offerings Shower like rain 'Till leaves overtake Newness delights no more Still nestled by banks Close to source Roots go deep Shadows grow tall Setting not forgetting Till tomorrow
