Every speck of colour
Flying past my eyes
Arouses great fascination
Friend or foe?
Local or blow-in?
Show me your colours
I will let thee live
For everyone of you
Everywhere reminds me
Of love for all things
All at once
αγάπη για όλα τα πράγματα
Days when clouds appear
Like Constable's brush strokes
Cool and clear
Unreal like a picture
In a coffee table book
Changing heavens above
A palette full spectrum
Twisting like end of day
Dibs and dabs before
Night fades to black
Why I sit inside
Mesmerised
By just one
Snapshot in time?
A strange kind of opulence
Tucked away behind
Concrete walls
Only to be enjoyed
By the blessed few
Who die too soon
To enjoy it
Don't try to close
The blinds on night sky
As new dawn breaks
No need to ferry clouds
Into silver lined
Pockets on pyjamas
While dreams dissipate
Fruitless picking
Strawberry fields
Wandering eyes
In the darkness
Simply pose salutation
As ever-revolving sun
Rises far beyond
Write my name in sparklers
In the dark
Hang ancient treasures
Round my neck and yours
Half and half
Hold my hand candlit
Till our flame goes out
Long lost mysterious
Friend and lover
Whom I've never found
Escape the cacophony
Flocks, herds and hives
Filling mind abuzz
Wandering fencelines
Break free from roots
Fly to where
No one keeps you down
Let the sun simply
Be your guide
There is one
Name renown never
Escapes me
No longer lying
Languidly in the shallows
Deep calls to deeper
Dear Friend and Love,
I could so very easily
Fall fast and deeply
In love with you
Turn to soft marshmallow
When I hug your insides
Like grandmother's
Raspberry flummery
But no, it won't do
That to be so sweet
You can only take me
In small doses
On grand occasion
Instead, I aspire to be
Hearty bone broth for you
Sipped daily
With dark brew
To make you glow
Stronger
Aurora lights
While night sky
Overcast
Steeped in tea
But still
Magnificent colour
Dancing hidden
Inside of me
Count the stars of heaven
