A mirror
Can't bear to
Open my eyes
Under covers
Hide
Alter reality
Two dimensional
Altar ego responds
Completely to me
Yet every touch
Cold
Do I need to
Be like you
To like you
Like I do?
I do
Loving me
Means
Loving you
Is it a crime to?
All the shades
Of blue reflect
To infinity
With you
Woman, when you believe My story and my song No word or note Need emanate again You nod resignation Soothe cracked lips Silence creeps in Swiftly by morning No badge of bravery Be worn out and down I am changeable As the tide In ancient forests You heal me As I lie in wait For another dawn song Settling within To begin again
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
Twitching at the treetops
Admiring secret love
Certainly they're watching
Best view from above
Hypnotised
Can't avert my eyes
In case they'll hide
Fly away forever
Assurance grows
Return there again
Nest is close by
Find her with friend
If I could roam
The whole wide world
Looking everywhere
At every face
All are beautiful
Though one resides
In a secret place
Behind closed eyes
I'd give to them
All my treasures
All my life's
Memories
To hold
A particular beauty
Tender and rare
Delicate touch
If you dare
A pleasure
For some
But not others
I know this
Life is swings
and roundabouts
May you have
Someone you can
Walkabout with
Yarning at night
Treating you right
Depend upon
In any way
Every day
Know them
One to another
By the feathers
We wear
With love
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?
