Living on the island state of Tasmania, Australia. Narrating life through poetry and photography.

Walls

Wartburg, Germany
The highest place is found
Not in turrets overlooking
In case of enemy approaching
Watching people scrambling

Over walls and hedges
Keeping us and them
Out and in, tethered
Away to stay, forever

No need to hide when
Love is measured by
Lesser distance between
Community is all around

Distance is never felt
Between two willing
Hearts that measure
No one or thing
Without love

Love like

A new puppy
A longing overcomes
Subtly over time
Then suddenly undone

Sleepless nights
Frequent walks
Accidental strife
Adorable, warm

A love not chosen
Like a spell cast
Wooing bright eyes
Mesmerised at last

I'll walk my love
Down every street
Doggy park
Beach retreat

Nodding at fellow
Lovers off leash
Tied to feelings
Unfathomable

Feeling responsible
For daily care
Falling asleep
Nestled in there

Such is the way
Of owning your own
In love with you
Who knew?
